Well folks, I got the 275/40-17 MOUNTED today, there is no rubbing that I can see or hear immediately, but it is VERY close...I feel like if I sit anyone in the backseat, it's gonna rub without a doubt....the car handles like a CHAMP, I love it, plus the tires are a little larger in overall diameter than the fronts, so now I have a bit more of a raked look than previously and I love that too Thanks to everyone for helping with this decision, unfortunately I don't have a camera until next week when I can take better pictures, for now this is the best I can do with my cell phone:

Would this work a (front)20x10 25 offset with a 215/30 tire, and a (rear)20x10 25 offset with a 235/30 tire. Would this work with a 2 inch drop and rolled fenders and run some neg camber.

19x9.5 front +44mm offset
19x10.5 rear +44mm offset

Will these work on an SC?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Yea those will be fine you will just need a fender roll not sure what tires or suspensions setup you are going with but that you should be ok.

depends on tire size... that is almost more important than wheel size...

The tires are:

265/30/19 front
305/30/19 rear

The tires are essentially flush with the wheels, have a nice lip protector... These are the wheels/tires in question:

nope, too wide to do without pulling the fender on an SC... It would be real close, but mods to the fenders would definitely have to be done and it would require more than rolling would accomplish...
