Personally, I'd look at running a 255 up front if looking to run a 285 rear...will give you more balanced handling and help reduce understeer. You'll also want to run different profiles front and rear. If you're going to run a 35 profile at the front then you'll need to run a 30 profile at the back in order to keep the rolling diameters more closely matched. 285 on a +40 rear will probably rub on the guards over bumps if the car is lowered, would be close though.

40 profile up front and 35 profile at the rear would also be ok, unless you want to keep it legal...in which case, no (straight from VSB14 "The overall diameter of any tyre fitted to a passenger car or passenger car derivative must not be more than 15mm larger or 26mm smaller than that of any tyre designated by the vehicle manufacturer for that model.").

Ideally you want to try keep the rolling circumferences as close as possible front to rear. Use this website as a guide:

Problem with FG's is that there isn't really any guard to roll at the rear, your paint will generally just crack unfortunately.

But as WB said, they're great tyres!
