es300 rotors and calipers

I daydream about modding my car alot, sometimes crazy and sometimes reasonable. My latest fairly reasonable daydream is swapping my front disc and rear drum brakes for those 4-wheel discs found on an es300. I don't know if it is stupid for even thinking about it or not, but from what I understand it might work. I have three questions. One, can I even use the abs calipers when I do not have abs? Two, what is the smallest wheel I can run using the es300 v6 rotors and calipers? Three, any other problems I'd run into or any advice you can give me regarding this? Thank you in advance for your help.

go for the v6 cam brake set up same thing prolly easier/cheaper few people did it on the board already, basicaly all you need is all the brake stuff from the back/ front and the a diffrent valve. search around the site this is very doable and should take about a day to do.

and the smallest wheel is 15" unless you swap to supra rotors then it would be most 18~19"

Then, as far as the Camry v6 brake swap is concerned, has anyone swapped to the 2 piston xle /w abs calipers? I'd guess that the same questions apply in this case as well, can I use the calipers when I don't have abs?
