The front "should" be okay as well. You will probably get some rubbing in front depending on how low you are. You may have to raise it up a bit if it rubs too much. My track setup is squared 275/35R18s on a 18x9.5 +45 wheel. My particular 275s are actually as wide as some 295s and I don't have issues in the front and am lowered on coilovers.

I would suspect the rears fit quite nicely, and many have used that same wheel/tire sizing. The fronts, knowing that they're lowered, will probably rub slightly at full lock and even on large dips. Otherwise, I don't believe they'll rub. I've seen 19x10 up front, and there was minimal rubbing on his 275/35.

Keep us posted on if and how you get this (285's on the front) to work.

Thanks for all the input but I decided against them because the package wasn't offering a better wheel than the factory set I still have. I've been trying to justify the $$$ for different wheels, requirements include lighter and stronger for track use, but haven't been able to find something that isn't multiple thousands and I like that much better than the factory wheels.

For now, I'm going with;
factory wheels
245/275 yoko AD08r tires
15 mm HR spacers

I'm considering those wheels for my track set-up... Or maybe the 18x9.5 version, which is a +40 offset.

I considered those TSW wheels as well, but in the end I didn't find them more appealing than the factory mesh wheel for the money spent. I think both are good looking wheels.
