Why would you want to go to 14" wheels.

I would guess that they won't fit, being that they are 2" smaller than the V6s 16" wheels. Do a test fit.

You need to get lug nuts to suite the wheels otherwise you'll have serious trouble lol.

In addition to checking the fit you would also have to deal with a drop in the load index from 92 to 90 which means using the ETRTO tables to recalculate your minimum air pressure. Most shops won't mount your tires if the load index is lower than spec for the vehicle since they could get sued badly, so you would have to do it yourself.

Or you can be smart about it and they'll mount anything for you
