Exclamation 275/60r20 vs 305/55r20 help

Hey guys so I have what seems like the biggest decision in the world and can't make up my mind. I know a fair amount about tires but need some help. So I have a '12 QC 4x4 with fender flares and leveling kit, i plan on getting Fuel Hostage 20X9 rims in either +1 or +14mm offset, the problem I have is i'd like to stick with 275/60r20 to maintain my MPG's, and save $200 over 305's BUT im afraid that with the wider stance, the 275's will look too skinny. I've searched the internet all day on forums and google looking for pics unsuccessfully. ANYONE with aftermarket rims please post pics of front view to see stance and side shot down body line to see offset please, regardless if you have 275's or 305's, much appreciated.

9" wide wheel may be too wide for 275s

If you want I can show you what 20x9 look like on stock 275/60/20, and also 305/55/20, but not down the side view, my lift spindles make them stick out....so it wouldnt be the same for yours.

Sure, i'll take what i can get. leaning towards the 305's but i'd still like to give the stockies their chance, i'd appreciate it if you could post some pics
