that rear doesnt even look that bad at all IMHO.

i was kindof weirded out with my rear rim/tire fitment when i got em installed, but its actually common.

i would leave it.

285/30 will clear no problem. you can even go wider if you want since it seems like your not lowered at all.

I dom't know if you have enough time? Usually, tire shops need to know the sizes you want the day before. Basically, you need to tell them by tomorrow so they can get the tires on Saturday? Those sizes you mentioned should be fine. Ideally, to maintain the diameter closer to stock go with 255/30 and 295/25

personally on 10.5 i would use 285, i think that's pretty perfect

if you want quiet, i like the pilot sport a/s. high performance all season, pretty good wear, very good performance, and they are very quiet

down side is they are michelin, so price is always up there

I got the vossen wheel and tires, 285-20 and 245-20 and I couldn't be any happier, these wheel are very good looking and the staggered lip is very nice. I could post pictures if anyone care to see them.

285/30 is pushing it for the rear, especially if you want to drop the car. I am personally not a fan of rolling fenders. Good luck with it
