Rear Tire Size Question..... Okay, so I need 4 new tires pretty badly for my 2000 Camaro Z28. A while ago I picked up a set of 4 Chrome Z06 Wheels and they had the tires mounted on them already since I bought a package. I previously had Bridgestone Potenza S-02s, good tires, but now its time for new ones and I don't feel like spending what the new S-03s cost. So I went on to Tire Rack and was checking out tires and found some good tires that fit the bill, unfortunately they don't have a tire in quite the exact same size as I have right now for my rears.
Right now my wheels are 18x10.5 in the back and 18x9.5 in the front. So I have 265/35 ZR 18s in the front for tires and 295/35 ZR 18s in the back. But the new tires I am looking at only offer 285/35 ZR 18s for the rear, so what should I do? Basically I am asking if it is ok to have 285s on a 10.5 inch rim in the back? Will they fit ok?

Yeah, I just checked out Tire Racks sizing information on the tire and it says the 285 can fit a wheel from size 9 to 11 or something like that, so I should be fine I guess.
