25.4mm = 1inch....

your adding 10mm changing from 275 to 285, which is actually 5mm for inner and 5mm for outer.

5mm = .19inch and you said you have about an inch until it rubs. You might not even need a roll

ehh, i take that back...from the looks of other 20"x10.5 Volk GT-C owners with 275's, not even close to an inch clearance.

then there's this old post with some one with 285's and S-techs, he had to roll some fenders. Pictures didn't show, i guess it's a fairly old thread.

If you roll the fenders you'll have more than enough room to put on a 285 tire. I have a sedan and even i know this. You just need to know your width's and offsets. If you dont believe me or redlude, then that's your choice.
