Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 on factory rims?
WS6 rims and a 285-40-17 tire?
Anyone have these on a factory rim? Any issues with clearance? Even better any pics?

Just curious why you want that size? They fit fine on a factory rim, but will change your overall wheel/tire height and mess up your speedo, odometer, and slow you down a little bit.
275/40/17 = 25.7"
285/40/17 = 26.1"
275/40/17 = 25.7"
285/40/17 = 26.1"

Where did you get those tire height figures? Technically, the 285 is only going to be 4 mm higher than the 275, which isn't .4" difference.

275mm x .40mm = 110mm x ~.04 inches = 4.4 inches x 2 = 8.8 inches (tire) + 17 inches (wheel) = ~25.8 inches
285mm x .40mm = 114 mm x ~.04 inches = 4.56 inches x 2 = 9.12 inches (tire) + 17 inches (wheel) = ~26.12 inches
Check it out for yourself - Look up the specs on those tires. It gives you revolutions per mile and overall diameter.
Where did you come up with your figures?

Maybe I'm just off on my tire specs...what is the ~.04" in the equation for? Sorry if I'm slow...just trying to understand. My job doesn't involve this kind of stuff, so I'm kinda rusty haha

The whole thing I was wondering is if they would fit without hitting anywhere. Thats about it! I really can care less about the speedo. So everyone will agree that they will fit with no PROBLEMS!!

I think our differences are coming b/c of the conversion factor you are using. When converting to inches from mm, multiplying it by .04 isn't very accurate, since you aren't carrying the numbers out far enough. However, look at my method and tell me what you think, since converting mm to cm to inches is exact, since 25.4mm=2.54cm=1inch exactly.
275mm*.4mm=110mm sidewall; 110*2=220mm(total tire in height); 220+431.8mm (17"(wheel diameter)*25.4(25.4mm per inch)=431.8mm)=651.8mm; 651.8/25.4=25.66 inch height of a 275 series tire on a 17" wheel.
Following the same format as above:
285mm*.4mm=114mm sidewall; 114*2=228mm; 228+431.8=659.8mm; 659.8/25.4=25.98 inch height of a 285 series tire on a 17" wheel.
This being done, there is only a .32 inch height difference between the two, which results in roughly a 1 inch circumference difference (using 3.1412 as pi). I do not think that 1 inch is going to affect the speedometer that much, but then again, I don't want to run through those figures right now either
Run this through yourself and see what you think. Like I said, I just don't think your conversion factor produces an accurate enough number, which throws the entire equation off.
