Of coarse you do have a little wider of a tire. I think if I did not have the fender flares it would be only about 1 1/2" past the fender. are yours more than that. although my rims did stick out further than I thought they would after I got them on. I think it has just as much to do with the bigger tires.

They look great. Do you by chance have any pics from the side of the truck so I could see how far they stick out? I'm trying to decide on +18 or +30 right now too.
By the way, they definitely dont look like +30, they are at least +18 or lower. Where did you purchase them from?

i gotta agree, and 18X9 with a 30+ offset should sit close to flush.
Mine are 9.5 wide with a +35 and they stick out about an inch and a quarter.
perhaps its the tire that gives it that appearance.
I really hate the use of offsets now, backspacing is such a definitive measurement whereas two wheels that have the same offset may not have the same backspacing... somewhat irritating.
Truck does look good though, regardless of offsets!
EDIT
Upon further inspection of the small pic provided, it appears as the wheels are pretty darn close to flush.
Its the wide tire which is giving it that appearance. 30+ offset looks to be right.
Oh and if you look inside the spokes, one spoke will usually have a stamping, it will say something along the lines of
18X9 JJ and then have a small flat spot where there is a number stamped in. thats usually where they stamp the offset.
