I would rather have OEM tires in OEM sizes than Hankook's (unless you are talking RS3's which aren't available in those sizes). That being said, your sizes should work but I personally wouldn't put 285's on 9.5" 220m wheels. The GTS wheels are 10" which is a better match for the 285's. I would go with stock tire sizes or 255/35 & 275/35 tires on the 220m rims. I would also spend the small additional price for Michelin PSS. The PSS's are not as expensive as PS2's and they are not much more than the Hankook's. The best prices can usually be found on tire rack.
