Looks great! I just did the exact same thing to my '03 V8, but changed to 5th-gen wheels. I'm a little jealous that your Sport Edition wheels appear to be in good condition; mine were trashed and are officially retired now at 107k. Lack of care from the previous owner and east coast corrosion are both factors here.
 
I just found the memory card I thought I had lost, it had the pics from my suspension/wheel changes on it, so I can finally post in here 5 months after the install. Sorry to be a bandwidth hog, but I never post pics, so I have some catching up to do!

I also washed the truck yesterday, so there are a few recent photos at the bottom.


Details:

2003 V8 Sport Edition (with X-REAS) that started completely stock with 265/65/17 Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S that were starting to rot when I bought it. :ohwell:


As it sits now:

Daystar 2.5/1.5 spacer lift kit
17" SR5 wheels from the 5th Gen'10-'13 model.
265/70/17 Pirelli Scorpion ATR

:worthless

So here we go! First, some comparison shots.


Stock, X-REAS with stock-size 265/65/17 Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S:




Two days later - Daystar 2.5/1.5 freshly installed, stock wheels/tires:




Two weeks later - Same lift with freshly installed 17" 5th Gen SR5 wheels and 265/70/17 Pirelli Scorpion ATRs:



Here's some front shots:

After Daystar 2.5/1.5 install:




After 17" SR5 wheels and 265/70/17 Pirelli Scorpion ATR:




Below are a few more recent ones from yesterday, after a long overdue post-winter cleaning. I haven't changed the setup at all but the suspension may have settled slightly, and I have been playing with the tire pressure, currently at 37.5 PSI.







*Note: The trailer is not hooked in that last pic, just getting ready to finish cleaning up more trees from this past winter.*

Hope these are helpful for somebody, especially those comparison shots. I took those at the closest to level parking lot I could find near my house; I live in a rather hilly area.
