I don't understand why people do it, but it's the latest import trend

Depends heavily on the offset, brake setup you run and which brand tire you use. Some tires run wider than other brands

the offset in the rear is going to be 25mm, with Nitto 555 285/40R17 tires

ok i had a question that kind of went along with this topic as well, i have a 88 Vert and i want to put 285's in the rear on a 10.5inch rim, would i have any rubbing issues?? thanks

Ya, you certainly will have rubbing issues.
I run a 275/35/18 bfg drag radial, any type of cornering causes them to rub.
My fenders are rolled and i have no quad shocks.
When i need new tires i'll be dropping down to a 265 35 18.
