Are 305s causing a lot of stonechips on OEM rims?

For those of you running 305s on OEM rims (stock offset) is the body of your F-150 taking a beating from stones, debris being thrown up the sides of it from the larger tires?

Or is the problem limited to those with aftermarket wheels with offsets that make the tires stick out further?

Anytime you have your tire sticking out past the fender you do run the risk for stones, dirt, rocks, ect.... to be thrown on the side of the truck. Nature of the beast.

havent had many issues with mine either,probably will be more noticeable with an aftermarket set of wheels with different offsets.
