Depends on the offsets. Many run 10's in the rear just fine.
The 285's will be where you run into trouble especially if you're lowered.
10'' +50 and a 275 tire should work though. (Waiting on expert roswell to chime in, but I believe he runs that setup)

10" with a 50 or better offset will work with 275.
I actually had a close look under the rear arches recently to detemine where the occasional rub noise comes from. Specificially I was looking at the join between the guard and lower skirt. Sure enough there is a metal lip which sticks out and can be trimmed or beaten (I was lazy and belted it a couple of times).
I would love to run 285 (275 on 10" is a light stretch and 285/295 would be a better fit) but I am pretty sure it will rub on the outer side with my +52 offset. I have no idea what the inner clearance is like as I have not put the rear up on ramps with wheels /tyres fitted and had a close look.
Please try it with 285 and let us know how it goes.
As PurpleHeartAMG says, wait for Roswell to give the definitive answer.

On a 10x19 rear wheel you can run a 275 ET48 lowered with coilovers. That is what I had on my previous sedan. It was flush and I wouldn't go lower than that offset.
Now with 285 you might rub on the inside. The inner clearance was really tight on my set up.

Offset on the wheels?
I suspect that going 20" may assist.
There is clearly a small variation between cars as to what will fit. Some people can have minor rub with a 275 at stock height whilst others with the same tyre and matching wheel offset have none when lowered. Before flattening the panel join I got occasional very minor run on one side only under load.
