Suspension of mathematical disbelief is hard to sustain seriously or at length.
Accordingly, the best mathematical SF/fantasy I can think of is in short stories or novellas which are meant to be humorous. In particular, those criteria characterize:
-- Most of the stories in Fantasia Mathematica and its quasi-sequel anthology Mathematical Magpie.
-- Flatland, which is novella length.
-- The Dragons of Probability, or anything else in Lem's Cyberiad.
