All stock Lexus sedan wheels will "fit" an SC. That is to say all Lexus sedans utilize the same bolt pattern, center bore, and very similar offsets.

If the wheels shown are OEM and are from a 95-00 LS400, they will fit the LS400 big brakes.

From what I have seen, the 95-00 LS400 wheels looks very similar to the 90-94 wheels in many cases, but the 95+ wheels utilize a +42 offset to the 94- having a +50 offset. Those 8mm are probably the 8mm required for brake fitment.

Also, from what I have seen, 95+ LS400 wheels get swooped up VERY quickly on the wheels classifieds. If you have found a site that has them for a resonable price, I am sure there would be more than a few people interested in knowing where they are.

Are you guys positive they will clear the LS400 brakes? I've heard from somewhere that they dont work on the sc300 because of the different offset or something but I forgot where I've seen this info.

You know I'm only like 20min from you. I might beat you if you slap those wheels on your car.

The difference in offset will not be sufficient enough to cause any rubbing or fitment issues. The bolt pattern and center bore are most imperative to conserve, and they would be in this case.

If they came stock on the LS400 I don't see why it wouldn't work on an SC. It's just like installing Supra larger brakes and OEM 17" Supra wheels.
