They will fit, but they will not be optimal. Tire rack lists a 10 inch wheel as the minimum for the Kumho 710. Don't know which tire you are getting but even if a 9.5 inch wheel is listed as the minimum,,, your still not going to be using the tire to it's limit.
Saying that, I'm running a 315 on 10.5 inch wheels. Once again not perfect but it works. I do leave a bit of under used tread surface on the edges due to the tread being pulled together on the too narrow wheels. I will be dropping down to 295s on my next tire change though.

It may not be recommended, but it will definately fit. I've had 315's on the stock 9" rim for 3 months and never had any problems, no rubbing...etc on stock ride height. But I soon came to realize that 315's on a 9" rim probably wasn't a good idea, so I took them off.

I guess that answers your question, 285's it is...
