And that's true, how much do the stock tires weigh anyways?
Offset is basically what determines how far from the hub your rim will sit. Higher offsets will pull the rim into the car, lower offsets will push it out from beyond the wheel well.

I believe the stock offset is around +48? I forget. and that is on a 17x7 wheel. So that is why the wheels appear sunken inside of the wheel well.
