I would not recommend running a 285 in the rear unless you want to rub. Stick to a 275. If you are concerned with maximum traction go with a sticker tire.

I feel your pain! My 135i is the same way. I have 265 PSS tires in the rear and 1st gear is useless. R compounds should do the trick

I used them on the track (Road Atlanta) on stock tune and they were fine. However, with my new setup (500 hp) and 40 F temperature, there is not much traction. I really like them on the street...
