Default 120 gallon lighting
When my 2x 250 MH arrive in the next 2 days, I was planning to install them with 2-65w 10000k PC with 2-65w Actinics. The tank dimensions are 48x24x24. I have started buying SPS corals as I had leathers, mushrooms, and polyps before. Would this be good for a tank of this size.

sounds good to me. You may want to make all the PC's actinic depending on the look you want. Make sure you slowley add more time to how long your corals are under the MH so that you don't fry them in the first few days.
