Those wheels have very conservative offsets for the SC.

In my opinion, the fitment would look terrible. Frankly, I would rather stay stock.

sorry if the questions are so dumb...but i get so lost w/ all this..

you would need to run some spacers like 10mm front and maybe 20 rear

Compared to where your factory wheels and tires sit, the new 19" front set-up will push out 7mm further towards the fender and the new 19" rear set-up will push out 17mm further towards the fender.

IMO this set-up won't look bad (fitment wise) but you may want to consider running tire size 245/35-19 in the front with tire size 275/30-19 in the rear.

Not a dumb question at all. The higher the numbers get, the more sunken in the wheels will look in relation to the fender. The lower the numbers, the more flush (closer to) it will look in relation to the fender.

With the wheel specs you're looking at, it will look almost identical to this.
