Nope..if the Stock wheels are 40mm offset,the Face of the wheel is basically at the End of the outer edge of the Wheel(40 mm in),Towards the street.So if you add more offset,the wheel goes Outwards.

25 offset would usually have some dish, since it'd push the edge of the wheel further out.

Im running 15x7 +8 and its flush in the front and could use a set of -5ish offset in the back to make them flush.

offset is how far away the mounting position is from the center of the wheel. positive offset means that the mounting spot (where it mouts against the hub) is that far towards the car, negative means its away from the car.
