Thanks for the clarification Mike. Since PSS doesn't carry 285 rear sizes, do you recommend 275/35 or 275/30 for the rears?
I wanted to stay as close as possible to OEM diameter so I most recently went with 275/30, which is .4" shorter than the OEM rear tires. The 275/35 is .6" taller.. BTW, I used to have 265/30 rears, which are only .3" taller than OEM.. I thought they performed well on the street and I did one track day with them.. However, when I replaced them this spring, I opted for a bit more tread width in the 275/30. I ran those at the track two weeks ago, and I've got no complaints.
Pick below is from last weekend.. NOTE: That's after installation of RR Racing Penske coilovers, so she sits a bit lower than stock now.

Very nice! Did you lower the rear too? or just the front? or both?

Yep, rear is lowered too.. BTW, this is the height they were preset for by RR Racing. I haven't changed anything yet.. I may raise the rear just a bit.
Alright, bumping this because it helped me pick sizes. I'm pretty happy with mine, but I've only had 20-30 minutes so far of driving so not a whole lot of feedback. I need to see if this helps with the understeer the next time I find a roundabout.

Forgive the quality of the iPhonetato pictures it's overcast here.
I got mine in a day in the specs above, the guy at America's Tire said he was super surprised as this seemed to be the LAST set anywhere he could see across the country (or however far he can see) in his computer.

lolfunxion, are you by chance running spacers? I have a 2011 and plan on upsizing to the same tire. Just wondering about clearance in the rear.

Let us know how it goes. I love the handling and if this tire setup does better then our Stock size, I'm definitely considering this size
