After reading some threads on the subject and talking to a few guys, I thought 275s would be better in front. I like the staggered look, and also a few people mentioned the close proximity of the 285 tire in the front to some bolt or bar (maybe one side of the swaybar) and also it may cause trouble with certain suspension setups. Whether that is true or not, I am not sure but I saw a few pictures of the wheel/tire setup I got and I like it so I guess I will find out.

And also, I don't track my 5.0 and will most likely only autocross once a year, if that. So, I prefer look over performance at this point. I think I like the staggered tire setup of the 275 front/285 rear.

Exterior look aspects of a 275 vs a 285 is very minimal and will more than likely go unnoticed.
