I love sidewalls so much that I will get 14's. The brake rotors will need to be cuztomized as well. A biger caliper will make up for the smaller size of the rotor, thus I will get the same or better stopping power

Here is a ?? for you all- I go through a set about every 18 months give or take. Right now I have 22550r16 Eagle ST's that run me about 110 each.
The coupe has 16' tires correct? Which ones?

If you think the prices for the 17" are bad, don't check the prices of the optional 18" tires at the tirerack. It's enough to keep me from paying extra for them, even if they were available at the start of production. I drive too much a year to use up a set of tires in less than a year and a half.

If I had an 05 V-6 and was looking for tires, I'd probably go with a 225/60/16. A little wider, and also a lot more choices.

235/60-16 would be a better fit for the V6, assuming they don't have clearance problems. They have nearly the same diameter as stock 215/65-17s. Lots of good choices in that size too.
