As noted.

I have Apex Arc 8's and last season ran 275/35-18 PSS rear, this season am running 285/30-18 AD08's. Both work fine even on the 9.5" wheel width, but as listed in the forums, the 285's are closer to the right diameter, which I think is part of the reason I prefer them.

However, with VMR's you're looking at 245 rear max. It's just the wrong offset to fit rubber.
