To my understanding it's stock. But it's a used car and you never know what the previous owner has done.

Does my car look like it's lower than stock?

Worn shocks can also give you that "lower" effect.

best way is to take a quick peek behind the wheel and see for yourself. stock struts/springs look like "stock".

what size tires are those? They look like a bigger profile than stock. 225/55/16 is stock. They look like 60 series. Or it could be my imagination lol.

I don't know off the top of my head. They are brand new tires. Might just be a lot of tread left.
