P225/50R16 91S
The 225 indicates this tire is 225 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel. This measurement is also referred to as the tire's section width."
Therefore, 285mm - 275mm = 10mm = 1cm = 0.4in = just a little less than half an inch wider. Right? Or am I missing something?

Correct. About half an inch wider with a 285 tire but the diameter will also be a little larger as well! (0.27") Assuming 35 series tire.
But that is fine, as the Nismo comes with this size tire and it's perfectly fine.
