EDIT: Not referring to the DWS btw, "DWs" as in the plural of "DW"
265/40/18 will work ok, the 275/40/18 were just a closer diameter/wall height match. I was actually looking at the AD08's, but they didn't have it in that size, like you said. The RE11's are pretty sweet, but was more than what I wanted to spend.

Ended up just getting the Advan Sports (they were on special for $229) and the ride is more or less the same. I decided to run 245/45/18 up front, so it basically matches the sport package footprint now. I haven't done any auto-x with it, but you do feel a little more grip in the back. Could just be the new rubber tho.

Here's a calculator I found that was really helpfull:
