My car has a production date Sep 2014 and I made some pics of the calipers today as good as I could. Will post the pics tomorrow.

Maybe on a stock height car you can get by with 295's, but they will stick out past the fender lip - I don't like that look. On a lowered car you definitely will rub. If you're creative you can mill the face of the rear hub or the backside of the wheel hub to allow the wheel to sit further in and thus allow enough room to allow a 295 to fit.
I weighed the options and just went with the 285's. Just bolt them up and go.
