You'll be good
You’ll think it’ll stick past the fender at all? I’m looking for a flush look.

You'll be roughly .75" further out, which isn't much. If you have a tape measure, go to your tire and measure that and you'll know approximately how much further out they will stick.

Downside to black, they merge with the tires and sometimes hard to see in pics. The bronze look great as well.

I am a fan of black on white trucks
. Good luck, took me almost a year to decide on wheels.

Consider a stock rim with a stock tire size.
Draw an imaginary line through the ball joints to the ground. This is somewhere in the contact patch of the tire on the ground.
If you make the rim wider or narrower, then the offset needs to change to keep the same relative point of contact with the ground. If you make the tire taller or shorter, then the rim offset needs to move out or in (respectively) to maintain a correct contact point in the tire contact patch. Anything else makes the handling have bump steer in one direction or the other.
Even getting all of these right, may still ave to evaluate camber, caster, and toe to get the geometry right.

Bronze, too much black with the painted bottom on the body, you'd lose the wheels visually.

Another vote for bronze. Friends don’t let friends get black wheels. Seriously, your opinion obviously trumps ours, but to me, contrast between tires and wheels is much more attractive.
Below are my platinum Fuel Blitz 18” +1 with Yokohama Geolandar X-AT LT295/70R18, on about a 2” lift. The offset plus tire width moves the outer side wall about 1.1” further than stock.
(I got these wheels when I had a silver Ram. I think bronze would look good with Delmonico Red, but I could never do that because it makes me think of FSU).

Spends too much time on here
I have 0 offset 20x9 on 35’s if you have oem flares it will sit flush with them. I rubbed initially but that was caused by tire size not offset.
