Do you guys think it'll look weird?

I have 32.6" tires (285/65/18) with stock suspension and hopefully soon I'll be installing my 2" coil spacers and do a 2" torsion bar twist in the front.

It would look very similar to mine. IMO mine is just a hair on the undersized side. My next tires will be 34's or 35's.

wont look too bad... and you don't have to crank the T-bars to the max... just turn them once or twice and step back and get the look you want....

Do you guys think I should wait until I can afford bigger tires to install them, or just go ahead and do it now and get new tires when the time comes?

The rear on mine looks pretty good, I want to drop my front end back down an inch or so to close a little of the gap. I lifted it almost 3 full inches.

I think yours looks fine. your tires are a little bigger than mine though. I'm doing 2" spacers and probably gonna do 2" in the front to level it out. Plus my tires rub right now anyways so I could use the extra space

32.83 for a 285/75/16, so barely any bigger than your tires.

I think it will look good. I'm considering going the same route. Currently have 285/75/16s, looking at lifting it 2".

Whatever you decide, be sure to give us before and after pictures!

i think you can squeeze in a set of 35s with a 3/2 lift. but if you hit a speed bump youll rub. haha. but with a rize lift you can do it no problem. so 33s or 34s are your best bet.

Solismo would give you the best advice... but 35s would probably be tight unless you trim a lot to make them fit..
