17" Wheels vs Calipers

So I was looking at bolting some aftermarket wheels onto a 2019 Superduty. The rims are 17" aluminum and do clear the brakes....
My issue is that the clearance is pretty minimal. I was wondering if anyone else here is running alluminum 17" wheels on their truck and has had issues with rocks bouncing up and getting jammed between the wheel/caliper.
Thanks

My wheels clear, but the little sticky wheel weights do not so when I got tires they had to adjust where they put em. No issues with rocks so far.

I run 17x9” 0 offset wheels. Tight clearance with calipers but no issues thus far.

If wheel weights are required there they might also hit.

On my ‘04 Silverado 2500 the stick-on wheel weights would hit the calipers if placed there.
