Wide tires and rocks / dirt on car

Do the wider tires cause dirt and rocks to hit the side of your car more than the stock wheels? I know if you keep them inside the fenders and I know some people run mud flaps. I mean if you are right at the edge of the fenders or even just a little bit out from stock? Issues?

It's very much dependent on how wide the tires are, and the offset/width of the wheels. Mud flaps help, the OEM mud flaps would be sufficient to prevent the majority of dirt and stones.
