Rock issue after removing mud flaps

I had to remove my mud flaps to fit 285/75/17s, but now I constantly hear rocks getting kicked up and hitting the frame/wheel wells. It drives me nuts.

What do most people do to keep the clearance for bigger tires but cut down on the rocks? Also, are those rocks actually bad for the truck over time, or does it really not matter and it’s mostly just the sound?

KMC KM552 Rims Question

Quick question on KMC KM552 wheels. In a lot of the product photos the beadlock rings look colored but in pretty much every real truck photo and video I see they just look plain silver.
