Default 285/40 17's on SS wheels

Well back to the dark side. I picked up a 98 SS today and I need to get her some new tires. How will the 285's work on these wheels, has anyone ever ran them?

GSD3's seem to run larger than other 285's. I had no problems with the rear but the fronts would run the plastic fender liner at full steering lock. I used double sided tape to pull the liner back a tad and it no longer rubs.

Do you have a pic of your car from the side etc. I have 285's out back, and I don't know if I should do them upfront. I'd like to see it, Thanks!

I've got 285 BFG's on my 10 spoke SS wheels. Looks great and no clearance issues.
