yeah the 285's in the back are going to cause more push with only 245's in front.
But you get understeer on the highway?

To answer your question though, yes you should be able to lower some without rubbing. I don't see how lowering will help with push though. You should try getting 275's in the back. I would think that would be perfect for 9.5's.
