will P285's fit on front??

I'm wondering if P285 tires will fit on the front of my '00 T/A. I currently have 275's on the front and 285's in the rear. I now need new fronts but Wondering about putting the 285's up front and buying some drag radials for out back.

On my ss i would think they would rub as the 275 are cclose to rubbing already but on a t/a maybe?

They can fit DEPENDING on the offset of the rims you are using. I dont know the actual offset be a friend who works at discount tire has 285 on the front and rear with ZR-1's.

I've got the same wheels and I run Fisk Phantom ZRX 285/40/17's. They have a tread width of just over 11 inches. Don't even have to change the speedometer.
