Will it look good?

I'm doing a 2/4 drop on my 1996 F150 (reg cab, short bed, 5.8, 2x4) and I want to put 15x8 Cragar Soft 8's (black bullet hole steel wheels, 4" backspacing) wrapped in 275/60 (very wide) performance tires. Y'all think this would look good? The truck is red/white. I'm just undecided on it at the moment, I don't want to ruin it cause it is a pretty truck already. I think the stance will be perfect though, especially cause I'm pretty sure the tires will tuck just a perfect amount. Oh, and don't troll about lowering trucks. It's still useful for what I need it for, I'm sure I tow more than most of y'all with lifted trucks anyways.

Lifted or not, not in an F-150 you don't. Your truck lowered simply made it that much easier for my truck towing the Titanic to run right over, like a speed bump.

I have a lifted 7.3 dually with twin turbos, I know about hauling. 25' landscaping trailer daily to be exact. I use the f150 for my smaller landscaping trailer and daily driver. And your truck couldn't even touch my f150

Your F-150 isn't allowed to use the same adult restroom as my F250 so you're right, it wouldn't touch it, not even if she didn't wash her hands after wiping.

I used to haul in my F-150, did a good job but it's no 250.

btw, it'd be best to post some pictures of this truck and rims to determine if your possible new set up would look good or not.

My truck would destroy both of your a$$es. It has 519 ft lbs of torque (stroked) and is a good ton or so lighter. But anyways I'll try to get a couple of the wheels and truck, and some of similar lowered trucks when I get to a computer.

Yes, your truck compared to mine has had a stroke.
