Well i was stumped for abit but I am pretty sure they size out like this.

7 17.5 -6

7 Sidewall Height

17.5 Rim Diameter

6 6 Ply Tire

So you have 7 x 2= 14 + 17.5 = 31.5 inch tire on Front


8 17.5-8D

8 Sidewall Height

17.5 Rim Diameter


8D 8 Ply Tire with Load range D rating


Again 8 x 2= 16 +17.5 = 33.5 inch Tire on Rear

Hope this helps. It looks like the 285's would be to high for the front.
