It will fit, altough 7.5" is a little skinny for the SC.

yes it will fit, but it will look bad. sell them and get proper fitting wheels for your new car!

Welcome aboard. Converting from auto into manual is a costly pita task. Id say upgrade the suspension on ur SC first. Thats not a bad combo - an auto SC for cruisin and pimpin it and the SR20DETT powered 240 for racing.
