I have Pss9's and I use a 1/4 spacer's on all 4 tires. The spacers are more for the tires hitting the pss9's collars than anything else. Car is also lowered so there is negative camber of about 2 degrees on all tires. This helps the tire's angle in a bit under the fender. The 4 tires are all on 9 inch oem rear rims. They would probably rub on 9.5 or 10's in the front. At full lock they just barely touch the wheel well in the front. Also, 285 v710's have a short side wall (24.8) which is smaller diameter than most 285 tires. You might consider a 265 on a 9 as you probably will get about the same width of contact patch as the 285's are pretty restricted to stretch to their full width on the 9's.
For example, when you put an unmounted 285 next to mounted the unmounted is actually wider.
hope that helps
