Question will this 285 tire work in the front?

I want to get a set of 285 nitto 555s for all four wheels on my car which is a 2000 ws6 which is not lowered. I am worried that a 285 will rub in the front when turning hard. Can you tell me if it will or will not? thanks in advance and the reason im putting such a big tire in the front is so I can rotate them.

I ran it on a prior set of TT2s. Didn't have any issues.

285's are no problem at all.

you acutally have more room in the front
than the rear.

alrighty just got done placing my order for the set of nitto 285/40/17 555s. I cannot wait! coming from a set of crappy 275 ecsta tires that never held traction in dry weather and in rain they hydroplaned like no other. Looking forward to seeing the difference some new rubber will make.
