No pics here but this is what i think.

I know they put 295's on the 19X11 inch wheel so 285's will not fill the rim up completely and this may be noticable.

Also folks put the runflats on the Z06 wheels, 245s on 9.5 inche wheels and 275s on the 10.5 and I know for a fact these do not look quite right.

Hope this helps!
