I'm a bad influence. On a 67/68, a 285 absolutely, positively fits if you follow all of the custom backspacing tips and roll the wheel lips. 69's are easier since there is even more room. 285mm converts to 11.22" inches. I just measured a 69here at the shop and came up with just over 12" of clearance at the tightest point. That is at roughly 11 o'clock when facing the wheel. In my case, the lips have been rolled and painted with black 3M body Schutz paint.
