you're gonna need spacers for either set since the offsets are high.

m45's are 19x8.5 all around and a +50 offset. I'd stick with the IS wheel since the are staggered, and think the look better on the SC than the m45s.

not to mention 19" tires will cost you a grip of cash.

Just keep the IS wheels till you can afford something better. The M wheels arent really an upgrade. If he's givin you a deal, might be worth picking them up to play around with tho.

M45 wheels are hot, but either way you're gonna need some FAT spacers to make them fit decently. They're both high offset and won't be flush at all.
