I've been researching this exact EC-7 config. Curious if you feel 265 front 285 rear will fit.
It's really going to depend on which 285 rear tire you plan to fit. A 285 in one brand/model will alot of times be different diameter/tread width/shape of the sidewall/etc then different brand/model.

For instance I can fit a 275/35/18 BFG Rival on the front of my coupe with not too much issue but when i tried to do that with a 275/35/18 Toyo R888 it was almost impossible. Same with the rear... my brother years ago used to run a set of 19' BBS Ch's with a 275/30/19 rear tire and they fit no issues on his coupe. He changed tires to a 275/30/19 Yoko AD-08 and we could not get them to fit at all. He had to get the rear fenders rolled and even then it still rubbed.

What tire are you thinking of running? Tire Rack is a great reference because they list all the detailed specs of the tires. If you have a reference tire (one you know that fits) you can compare the specs on that tire to the one you want to run and it will give you an idea of if it will fit or not.
