285 x 35 isn't going to fit without a lot of negative camber and probably some fender rolling. 245/275 is going to fit fairly easily front/rear, especially if you go with a rounded sidewall like the PSS. Square sidewalled tires, e.g. the Direzza II, will have better fitment in a 235/265 fitment on your choosen wheel size. A square shouldered 275 tire will need negative camber at the very least, and lots of it.

285 vs. 275 only gives a 4/10ths increase in section width, and you'd be stuffing it on to a wheel that has is the minimum width possible. Min width for a 285/35 tire is a 9.5".

Really needs a 10" or wider wheel, otherwise you're not going to use all that fat tire you paid for--basically you'll be using the center of the tire. (As Beta said, I've tested this using a pyrometer.) 10" wheel with a 285/35 tire isn't going to work without some serious work.
