Default Stock tires with 3" lift??

I just bought an 01 sport completely stock but blew all my money on it and dont have a job. I have a little money left over and want to lift it but dont have enough for tires. Any suggestions? Will it look weird with a 3" lift and stock tires?

I did this. Waited a couple of months between lifting and new tyres

Stock tyres & 3in lift:



Then I got some 30in tyres:



Go for it. If you're like me you'll end up blowing the lift money on beer and women before you buy the whole lot and it'll never happen

Lol I drove around for a couple months with 6 1/2 inches of lift on stock tires. Looked pretty silly until I got my tires

Check Craigslist for tires, could probably score a nice set of 30s or 31s on the cheap from someone who's upgrading.

Check out my build thread, I just finished my build and rode on stock 235s for like 2 weeks before buying 31s. My lift is around 3.5 inches, there are some pics on there with the baby tires.
