The 18" rims should be able to support a heavy duty tire, while the 20" 'Bling' rims are not real truck tires, and nobody makes a LT Light Truck tire for them.

Pure BS!!!! I have 20" on my 2500 duramax. the 20" tires have a HIGHER load rating than the 18" . And while there aren't a great deal of mfg there are PLENTY of mfg with a 20" LRE tire with 3,000+ lb load rating.
As for my experience, the 20" give better handling than the previous truck with 16". less sidewall flex and more responsive and so far towing, I'd say they are equal to small rims.
