I am dropped 2 inches in the rear and 1.75 in the front and don't rub what so ever with 265 and 285. I will continue to buy those sizes. I am running Volk size wheels.

If I go 295 and 275 with current settings I might rub but with more camber I would be fine.

Hankook RS3s 285/35/18 and 265/35/18

An 18x10 ET25 wheel has 1.35mm less clearance from the fender than an 18x9.5 ET20 wheel does. I can post more measurements if you like to outline the clearance differences.

Again, we were not discussing APEX wheels initially, I am not sure why you brought up those sizes and wheels arbitrarily.

Anyways,

I have tested your exact wheel and tire specs, Myself and others have answered your same question in multiple threads, I have shown you pictures to illustrate my answer, and you keep posting this exact same question in new threads??? Asking the question in one, maybe two threads is probably enough... I think this is the fourth thread you have posted the same exact question. Are you expecting a new outcome?
