You can influence on how your menu appears by playing with its style sheet. With you example code you can do the following:

menu.setStyleSheet("QMenu::item {"
                   "padding: 2px 5px 2px 2px;"
                   "}"
                   "QMenu::item:selected {"
                   "background-color: rgb(0, 85, 127);"
                   "color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
                   "}");

Note the padding property, which sets the offsets of your menu item rectangles.
