It doesnt look bad, but it doesnt look as good as it could, everyone has different opinions though. I ran mine with stock wheels til I got the wheels I wanted

Depends on the lift kit. If its just a spacer kit you wont.

Just follow this thread:

As for the tires, its just like Venom said, "it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look as good as it could". I lifted mine 2.5" and drove around on stock tires for a few days until my tire were supposedlly in. It was noticable to me but my wife and probably everyone else had no clue. It would have drove me nuts except I knew I had tires on the way. I ended up going with 265/70/17s. I know, only a little taller but it does make a difference.

It will not look bad at all.

Here is what mine used to look like with a 2.5 Daystar lift and 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers.
