There are a few things you must mention inorder to get help. What's the offset of your wheels? Are you lowered, how much, coils, etc..?

Check Scotts setup and just mildly change it depending on taste, and the tiny size difference.*

No way in hell those will fit without fender work. Shave/roll and stretched tires will be required, maybe even some camber.

no. wide body would be too much and require spacers. maybe orgin front fenders but i still think those would be too much and leave an ugly gap unless you plan on running low enough to be tucking a little rim

roll your fenders.

stretch your tires

run some camber and possibly do a newspaper pull in the rear

Should I roll the fenders or pull?? After newspaper pull is done what's my best bet tire? Or should I sell them to a 350z or g35 guy. I appreciate the help

1. test fit wheels on the car at ride height you want and camber you want using jacks and block with towels on them under the wheels to protect the wheel. This whill allow you to see how much the wheel will camber in as well as how much room you have for your tire.
2. Find tires to fit what you just found out.
3. roll fender lips flat
4. depending on what finding you have from step one here you will either pull your fenders or newspaper pull your fenders. A newspaper pull is done after the tires are on the wheels and the wheels are on the car just to clearance the fender a few mm away from the tires so it does not rub while normally driving (NOTE: a newspaper pull will still rub under accelleration and with more than the normal weight load in the car unless you are running alot of camber)

Do you have a body kit, lip kit, etc...?

9.5+23 you can run 255/30 all day or w/e there is available.

10.5+24 you should run a 245 or 255. nothing less then that. you will need to roll the rears completely. do at least 2.5* camber. also a solid 2-8 inch drop is in order lol jk

to make the rears fit nicely just slam the crap out of your car and do a minor pull.

these wheels will never fit on stock ride height.

they will stick out more then the "amigos that come to chill in front of walmart"

I would love to run these wheels I will run coilovers to drop the *** out of the back. The 275/35/20 rubbed barely should I run coilovers, 275/30/20 in rear and 255/30/20 up front and fender pull as neccessary in rear along withe newspaper pull.. Input on this senario?? Thanks fellas cross my fingers I can deal with thin tire just not cut rash city you know?!?!

275/35/20 is way too big for the SC. You need a good stretch too, so I would not go wider than a 255 in the rear, unless you want to pull your fenders. Also, if you don't have a kit or a 97+ SC, 20's won't look good. Just a thought.
