285 for the rear? That's mighty narrow, you could put a 315 on there.

too narrow. 295 at the least in my opinion.

That is probably because a 285 is not a stock size tire for an f-body therefore his computer told him it wouldn't fit.

Yeah not his fault if he doesn't know. Actually, I commend him for DOING HIS JOB...

315s fit quite nicely!
