So I just got these in and they really freaking stick out. Offset is 25mm.
Is this normal?
Rims are 17x9 03 cobras
Any help or advice is appreciated!

Offset sounds right for that car, are there maybe spacers behind the wheel you're forgetting about? Maybe they sent you the wrong offset? You can measure the backspacing yourself, take a straightedge and lay it across the back rim face, measure the distance to the hub flange, should be around 6".
Its the new stances out look, you need to stretch a 195 tire on that 9" rim and lower the car to scraping then you'll get all the respect at ertefa meets lol
Returning them will cost me a fucking fortune. I might as well sell them.
Not sure about Latemodel but AM was very good when I had a bent wheel from them, I shipped it to them at their expense, they sent me a new one totally free of charge. Did you order the wrong wheels, or did they screw up?
I ordered the wrong wheels. I shouldn't have ordered them. They don't pay for return shipping
How to Measure Wheel BackSpace
The easiest way to measure backspace is to lay the wheel face down onto the ground so the backside of the wheel is facing up. Take a straight edge and lay it diagonally across the inboard flange of the wheel. Take a tape measure and measure the distance from where the straight edge contacts the inboard flange to the hub mounting pad of the wheel. This measurement is backspace. The photo below shows three wheels with 2",3", & 4" backspace.
Items required to measure wheel backspace:
- Tape measure
- Straight edge
- Wheel w/o tire (preferred)
Measure and post Backspacing and I can tell you whats up.
As Dave said, suspension hanging like that may be making it look worse.
