Just don't...please. If you put on smaller wheels you will have to get bigger sidewall tires and then they will look out of proportion with the rest of the car. I have the stock 15s on my Legend and I think they are too small as it is. I would never go smaller.

13s and 14s are made for Geos and small pre1990s cars. 13s and 14s are not made in a diameter as big as the ES300's either. The biggest sidewall you could find is probably a 75% and I bet they don't even make a 205 width 13 or 14in tire. Don't waste your time of money on down grading your car...

I hope I wasn't too mean.

It will look like ****.

Hell i think the OEM 15" look like *** on the pre 00-01 cars, since it isn't proportionate.

THe 16" from 00-01 are a start to looking more proportionate and better!
