Will the 285s work on the 9.5" rim? Will they be ok on the front or should I just go with the 275s all around?

Thanks.

Are you using a 18" wheel?

If so, a 285/40-18 will fit on a 9.5" wheel.

You would probably have some clearance issues with the 285's in the front.

Go with a 265 in the front and a 285/35 in the back.

I would like the ability to rotate since I am rather harsh on my rubbers.....

275s all around then???

Even the GT500 doesn't run 285s up front. They run 255s.
It's your choice. I'd go with 265s, maybe 275s all around if you want to rotate.
