I know of a guy who runs at the track with 18 inch wheels with 285s up front and 315s in  the back, not sure of the sidewall, If your gonna do that so that you can rotate your tires, just get 275s. seriously. it already looks weird having a 275 up front much less another 10mm. JMO

I had my 285s in front on accident after Ford switched the backs with the fronts without me noticing during an oil change.  I drove around like that for about a month before I noticed and didn't have any rubbing problems.  The tires are BFG KDW NT's 285/40/18 on an 18x10 inch rim.
