285s in the front

Anybody every have any eperience or problems with 285s up front?

I currently have 285 Khumos on the back with decent tread. I wanted to move them to the front and get 17x11s for the back. Possible?

Thanks

I think its possible, i have 275's up front with a good amount of clearance.

285's are only 1cm bigger.

Go for it.

that's what I figured, but 275s are all ready pretty wide for up front and I wasn't sure if it would mess up the handling?

They handling would probably be a little better.

It depends on the quality of the tire too.

I'm running 285's up front with no problems really. They rub in a few spots only when turned all the way in either direction.

No it wouldnt mess up the handling, it would work fine. They use 315's all around with most auto-xing. I say go for you plans and post pics when you get em.......
