anyone put 205/45 tires on 16x6" OEM wheels?

I have an '03 ES and was wondering if anyone had done this?
How does this change the final drive ratio? i.e. How the car pulls?
Better handling? Better or worse mileage?

Look stupid unless you have lowering springs? Or hardly any difference?

Yes. Been there, done that. Toyo Proxes FZ-4 205/45/16 on my stock 16s, I'm lowered on coil-overs, and it's fine!

Ditto. The 205/45s look/ride great! I then lowered with a Pro Kit to make it 'look right'. What it also did was improve the handling EVEN more. sweeeet. Highly recommended.

No rubs.
