Wont work dont do it. If you want custom tips go with westone or acs.
Radians are for shallow insertion donot get them too deep. Also Radian material will not fit to nozzle.Its waste of time and money and also dangerous if you get it wrong.
the proguardz work excellent they get deep into your ear canal, with the corrent positioning they are as comfortable as the stock tips, some dont like the looks but they open the sound and for me they improved the sound quality a bit. i loved them. i will be getting some soon

Dont let the look scare you, they really open up the sound.

with the w4,4r the phonak audeo tips and 100ohm adapter dramatically help the IEM achieve a better frequency response and sound. if you like those qualities they may be able to incorporate them in a custom for you for example look at the measurments and openings of the phonak audeo tips etc. (insertion depth dramatic effect on frequency response of it alos
)
because tips alter the w4 ,4r so much, if a custom design was poorly executed , or just not paid much attention to in those areas, you could end up with alterations in a negative way . like for example comparing the tonality of the stock med silicone westone star tip vs the phonak audeo tip,
the star tip is longer and smaller opening which presents slight ringing at 200hz and at 10khz compared to the phonak audeo silicone which is shorter and bigger opening which tames those areas so they become natural.
that said it is certainly possible to turn into a custom that is superior to the universal with those things in mind.
here is a page where the gentleman shows exactly what happens with different tips on the westone w4 , 4r

important to note the frequency response graphs presented for different tips, are before olive ,harmon, compensation
curves.
below is the phonak tips and 100ohm adapter together after compensation fainted line is before (flat to the ear)[
here is the westone w4 stock with compensation
compared to the westone w4 stock frequency response and also the 100ohm or 33ohm adapter comparison
this information is important for example here is what straight line flat speakers in a room get perceived by us (the way we are used to hearing music)
and also considering equal loudness contour of human hearing
with these things in mind i bet a lot could be achieved with a westone w4,4r turned into a custom (with the right considerations)
