What some people call sunken and what other people call sunken are 2 different things to be honest.
They'll definitely be an improvement over the factory wheels, but you wont be "hella flush" or anything.

When I bought the car it came with xxr's I'm assuming the 527 there 17 inch wheels? Previous owner painted them a golden/ orange color they look awful. The rears poke out so much it just looks ridiculous. Are xxr 527 staggered because the wheels i have are? Not dead set on being hella flush just looking for something that doesn't look ridiculous, and doesn't rub.

You'll probably have to measure it. I'm not sure if there's any other way to determine the offset of what you have.

From there you can determine how much of a change you want to make, and order the appropriate size.

My car came with 17x9 or 17x10 rotas on the back, no spacers, they stick out a good bit. Previous owner wasn't sure which size they were, and I haven't bothered to check since it isn't driveable lol. I would think 17x8 would be okay, but I'm not positive.
