I asked if they'd tried this setup and they hadn't, but I felt confident based on CarJunkie's geometry thread and that I was already running 285/30 rear on stock wheels. I used this tool for calculation/comparison:

Nice, this setup looks excellent. I'm glad you decided to proceed with the fitment despite my emails. Thanks for putting up with our followups.

How is the inner clearance to the front strut assembly? If I recall correctly that was our main concern.

Did apex revise their 1M front fitment? Have 18x9.5 etc 22 on my front with 275/35 mps4s. Rubs at full lock on right side.
We may have to revise the guide! Our default recommendation has been the ET22 for a number of years to give plenty of room on the inner edge, but all that testing was done at a time when we only had either 18x9.5 et35 or ET22 available as options for 18x9.5". The 18x9.5 ET28 was created as an M2 front fitment recently but it looks like it works well here. I suspect a front spacer or the lower ET22 offset would be needed if you were running aftermarket coilovers or a HAS kit that limited inner clearance.
