The store is almost an hour away so returning them is unlikely.

Can I run SC tires on a T5M? What would the offset have to be as they are narrower than the stock tires?

With enough dremel work, I'm sure you could make anything work. Those are the wrong wheels and tires. Without going in to the offset the problem you will have is the larger diameter will mess with your gearing. I recommend you take them back and don't ask that guy for anything anymore.
