You guys did mention that 285/30/19 can fit in the back on my BBS RS GT's.....I know the recommended size is 275/30/19.

What's the rear offset again? If it's ET20 or higher the 285's should work with no rolling.

You are good to go. MRFVA and DRANGED are running 285's with ET20 on the rear with no problems, so you'll be fine.
