Not sure, but 285's may rub on the front.
I have 275's on all 4 corners and I love them!

[Crashtest]

Thank you, I agree with that. Dont want the rub. P.S. I play Hockey , lol.

the problem with 285s is you need a minimum 9.5" wheel to run them, and your choices are very limited. 275/40s - more choices, about the same width, fits on a 9" wheel... go with a 275.

i have a 1997 camaro ss with 285s onthe back and 275s on the front. 285s are to big for the front steering. Also, i would recommend that you go with like a 265 on the front because my car handles real weird on bumps because of teh larger tires. but go with the 285s they are teh dream!
