Generally speaking: A VPN does not help you, it may as well hurt you when using with Tor. If you do not know exactly what you are doing and have a really strong reason to do so, you are better of without.
I wrote many posts about the topic of VPN + Tor and yet nobody really had a real reason to combine them, but if you could tell us what it is that you want to achieve with combining both technologies, maybe we can get a better understanding of your situation.
Here is an overview and some more sources why this is either a bad idea, or noneffective.
