"285/35R18 size is too big for the 2002 Camaro" How do you fit these on?

This is copied and pasted from the website specs. The offset of the rims are:
They are two 18" x 9.5" rims for the front (+56mm offset, 7.4" backspace) and two 18" x 10.5" for the rear (+56mm offset, 7.88" backspace). The lug pattern is 5x120.65mm.
Would I need any spacers?

I just ordered some Sumitomo HTRZ III tires (275/35/18 fronts and 285/35/18 rears) from a website last night, and got an email this morning saying this:
Based upon the product selected and the vehicle you have listed on the order, the 285/35R18 size is too big for the 2002 Camaro and is not one of the recommended sizes for the vehicle. I cannot release your order until I speak with you regarding this concern.
How do you guys get your 285's to fit on your camaros?

I have 285X35XZR18 on Forgeline rims that are 18X9.5 all the way around, and I have no issues at all. My rim offset is 52MM, you should not go over 56MM, I believe then you will have clearence issues.
