Tire size help......

so I have 20" wheels and Im slammed with link , So I'm running 245/30/20 up front and 285/25/20 in the rear and my rears are wearing out so I will need to replace them soon but the INVO I'm running are over $300 a tire. But my dad has a set of like new Bridgestone tires in the garage he took off his F430. they are 285/30/20 , will it work , will there be any suspension problems? I know I'll have to raise the rear a little but , and I know people have run that size but with a bigger side wall up front too so, what you think? thanks

a quarter mile at a time
285/30/20 is 5.6% too large OD wise compared to the stock 265/35/18.
