Sorry for asking a question that I’m sure has been asked before many times, but I could not find it in the search.

What is the smallest diameter rim that will fit over APs on the rear? I am not interested in the front just the rears.

Unfortunately the car is at Monkfish at present, so I can’t even try the space saver to see if it fits

You should probably have just asked Roger. I think he'd tell you to get the 18" space saver that goes with the 04 VXR.

I don’t want a space saver what I am trying to find out is the smallest rims that fit on, so I can get some drag radials with the largest sidewall possible on the smallest rims possible.

So the original question might have been... will 17" Pontiac GTO wheels fit over rear AP calipers?!

You will end up with 18 x 8's.

^whs. 18" is the smallest. Even then you have to be careful where you put the balance weights.
