Which tyres for a Lexus IS?

I need to renew (or refurbish) the wheels and fit new tyres to my 2002 Lexus IS200. Existing ones are low profile.

Would ride and tyre life be improved by fitting different wheels? If so what size?

Yes, ride would be improved by going down to 16" wheels with 205/55 R16 tyres.
