Not positive without knowing the offset, but I understand what you're saying. When the suspension is fully drooped (as it is on jack stands), it looses some of the negative camber that it has while it's at ride height, making the wheel look more aggressive than it is.
If it helps, my wheels stick out almost 2" when in the air. Once it's sitting on the ground, they tuck and sit flush.
You could always measure how much your oem wheel sticks out (or in), compared to the fender, while the car's in the air. Then take the same measurement with it on the ground, settled. Take the difference, or how much the top of the oem wheel retracted, and apply it to the new wheel's in-air position. This will give you a good idea of how much the new wheels will pull in with weight on them.
