Stock WS6 wheels are 17x9", and you can fit a 285mm on these wheels without issue. Some people have issues with wheel well clearance using 285s up front, but in the rear it would be fine.
285/40/17 was the factory rear tire size for many years of C4 production, so there are a couple of manufacturers that still make this size. I believe both Goodyear and Nitto have models in this size, there might be others as well.

i dunno...
Goodyear has the F1 GS-D3 and Nitto the NT555, both in the 285/40ZR17 size, but their charts list wheel widths of 9.5"-11.0"

how bad is it if you ignore that half inch?

I think the 285's would be fine, but I would run it in the rear, with 275's up front. This car is running that setup...
