I don't think your tires would look "gay" unless you painted them like a rainbow and made them drive thru a parade. I had that exact tire size on my truck when I had 20" wheels and it looked fine. I would post a pic but every time I try it fails to execute. Sorry

That's quite a deal for $500. Can you get any other rims at such a huge discount?

Well, you didn't give any info on your truck, but you mentioned adding a leveling kit and going with 275/55-20 AT's, so likely they are gonna look small.

275/55R20 is what comes stock on F150s with 20s, without a leveling kit they will look ok but you can jump to 285/55R20 with no worries. With a leveling kit I would go 305/55R20 or 275/60R20 both 33'' and they wont look to small and you wont lose too much power.
