I'm looking at a set of wheels and tires and the front tires are 285/35/18. Stock is 275/35/18. Will this b a issue? Don't want to rub?

I remember reading in the SRT chat that only the stock PS2 sizes are the right rubber compound for these cars. You might go up in size, but the tires might not stick as well as the stock Viper-specific compound. On that note, if you're going with PS2 tires, make sure you buy from someone who gets you the ones that have the magic Viper code stamped on them.

this 10 mm difference by itself will not be an issue. Do the tires match front-and rear?

You should be able to go all the way to 295/30/18s on the front without a problem - that's what's on the ACR, and I don't think there's a whole lot of difference in the front wheel between all the SRT10s.
