I'd like to install these on the SSR-GT3s, along with 245/35-19 front.

Thanks!!!

285/30R19 will have a smaller overall diameter than the stock 18" or 19" wheels plus tyres. I'd also be surprised if their additional width caused any rubbing.

Why don't you go for 275/30R19 though? IMHO you may get too much understeer with the 285's.

I personally have 245/35R19 (front) and 275/30R19 (rear) and the car's balance is much improved.

I think The well got enough room to clear for 285,
but it all depend on the offset of the rim

I have 245/35 R19 all around. I've never had a problem with rubbing on the back but the front, combined with H&R Coilovers does a hell of a lot of rubbing on the dips and bumps. I'm actually taking the car to have the wheel wells rolled next week.

SSR GT3's are AWESOME rims.
