They wouldn't look too bad if the tires were tucked in the fender a bit...like 2.75" - 3" drop. If it's just temporary, don't worry about it.

A clean drop would be 1.75 front and 1.5 rear. Get an alignment afterwards to correct the camber, you might need to purchase a camber kit.

I don't see how you could unless you go to one of those used tire joints.

It doesn't sound like you have anything great as far as tires are concerned so why don't you just go pick up some more cheapos in the right size then sell your barely used ones to one of the used tire dealers.

Tire Kingdom here sells some cheap tires under the name of Visa that are actually imported by Falken and are the best cheap tires I've come across so far.
