285's all round?

Ahoy chaps.

Bit of a technical one.

I'm currently running 265/35/18's in Federal RS-R flavour (rears all round) and I've got an opportunity to run 285/30/18's for pretty good value.
So ignoring money / steering feedback completely and purely looking at fitment, will the front arches accept a 285? The 265 clears with no problems, and I can wind on to 3 degree's of camber too (currently with 2.5) - but I can't find any information at all on the matter.

Some race cars run as wide - if not wider - tyres but they could be chopped and changed to high heaven!
