Another New Idea everyone answer

how do you think my explorer would look if i...........

lowered it down so its only lifted 1.5"-2" over stock hieght
put some 285/60/18 kumhp ecsta stx tires(31.3" tall)
those wheels 18x9

im tired of everyday driving a lifted truck, soo i wanted to mix it up a bit, itll still be somewhat lifted, but giving it a clean/performance look to it
dont worry itll still see some mud and trails to get me to my serect fishing spots

what do you guys think?
also please post pictures of 31" tires on 18" wheels

Put Your New Wheels On With Some Even Bigger Tires Like 36's And Leave The Lift Kit On I Think It Would Look Good
