From 2008-2011 stock rear wheels. 275 would be ideal. One member didn't like it, another member did up to 285 and it was fine. It's all discussed on plenty of threads already available on this subject. I'll let the members from 2012-2014 F's chime in as you can fit a bit wider tires.

275 is ideal. U can fit more but it won't be good for response and control for turns

^^^^Post #2 from SoulFreak suggested you may want to use the search function. But since you didn't here's my thread on my experiences with the Bridgestone S-04 when I had stock wheels. 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. Note, your wheels are ½" wider front and rear, so the 245 - 285 combo would be ideal for you.

And as suggested above, there are many many more threads on this.

And it must be said, DON'T increase the size of your rear tires without increasing the fronts.

Should be good with a 285 but I would not expect the response to feel the same. You will lose some feel. If you drag race you will love it but if you track its going to feel a little wishy washy in the rear if your sensitive. Most are not.
