    Living in British Columbia, they will be laying down sand and gravel all winter long. The offset of my winter rims was a little more then I anticipated, and I am curious if that will cause all that sand and gravel to blast my paint and body. Can anyone tell me if I should be concerned?

    The winters are Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2 275/70 r18 - Factory Studded
    The rims are Procomp series 32

    I had to remove the small mud flaps at the front of the wheel well, and that seems pretty good. No cutting or trimming, but possibly a heat gun and a little plastic pushing

    To add, you can get a thin duraflap to stop most of the road debris.

    Fender flares should be considered. You can always take them off in the spring.

    Also, gravel & rocks could also be thrown up at the vehicle behind you ... not cool.

    Yea those wheels have a low offset, and you will certainly have crap thrown up and down the truck!!

    Custom offset is a great site! I would definitely stay near +35mm if possible,

    So thanks for all the advice. Shop was great and took back the rims and replaced them with these. Not a 100% sure, as they are a little glossy, but will soon be covered grit and dust from BC highways.
