Default 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?

Wider wheels and different backspacing that make the tire and wheel assy. stick out more will defintely throw rocks and road splash on the sides of your truck. Keeping the tires inside the wheelwells will help out a lot.
