The main issue is the speedometer. However, going a little taller is not going to throw the speedometer so far off that it'll cause you to get tickets...and it certainly won't hurt your car. I've used 17's, 18's and now 19's. My speedometer is off about 3 mph. Big whooppee. Don't be too concerned. Mainly you're looking for the right look. The sc has big wheel wells. They need to be filled to make the car look better. I've had 245-45 on 17x7 rims with no problem at all. Plus you need this size to fill the space as much as you can. Again, my recommendation is 235-45 front and 245-40 rear. I believe someone said 235 would be too big for the front. I currently have 245-40-19 on my front and 275-35-19 on the rear. You'll have no problems at all and no change in your speedometer with my recommended sizes...and you'll still have a comfy ride. Call my wheel shop at 954-771-4508 for questions. Ask for Dave or Charlie. Tell them Reggie referred you. They will take time to answer all your questions.

Hermosa's information would be correct if this were an SC400. However my recommendation was based on your profile which said you have a 94 SC300.
