Vette wheels (unless they are aftermarket) are 9.5" wide, not 9, but the will fit, in fact 285s were standard on the rears of all base-suspension model vettes from 93-96 :D

285 will fit, though 275 is a better fit. Probably get more performance out of the 275. The 285 will pucker slightly. Not enought to be unsafe, but enough to have cornering suffer vs. the 275. :steering:
