I think your 285/25 is actually wider because it has less sidewall. I'm seeing alot of AMG SL55 guys fitting 295s on their OEM 9.5 wheel but they run 295/35 which has more sidewall and is therefore has more flex room to fit on a narrower rim.

I would go with 275/35 but then the overall diameter will be more than an inch taller than stock.

If I'm going with 18s, I have to go with either 265/35 or 295/30 or possibly 285/30 which will be about 1/3" lower in overall diameter but should be ok from a rubbing perspective.
