Default Need advice on a wheel/tire purchase

Let me start by saying that I don't know a whole lot about wheels and tires other than maintaining them. I'm also not just posting another "what size wheels fit my truck" post. I have a few questions though. I broke a rim and damaged a tire on my 2014 STX SC 2WD earlier this week. I could replace that one rim and tire, but I never really liked the stock 20" wheels that much to begin with. I'm looking for a more aggressive look, but I also do a decent amount (45 miles round trip) of highway driving everyday. I can't spend a whole lot of money on the replacement, but I know someone selling a wheels a tire set with the following specs and they're almost brand new:

XD Series XD778 Monster Black 18x9 5x114.3 ET 18 Rims Wheels
Bolt pattern: 5x114.3

Nitto Grappler 4x4 offroad tires: LT265/65R18
Diameter: 31 inches
Style: Terra Grappler G2


1st question: can they fit the stock ride height or will I need the 2.5 inch leveling kit installed in order to make them fit?

2nd: The seller doesn't know if the TPMS sensors are installed on them. Is there any way to know without dismounting the tire?

3rd: How do you think the 18's will look aesthetically with that size tire?

Final question: What will the ride difference be between the stock Bridgestone 275/55R20 and the ones I'm interested in likely be?

Thanks in advance for the info/opinions.

Your wheels have a 6x135 bolt pattern so those wont fit.
