Nah its for DD use... can get them cheaper than getting the standard 245 35 18. They are the BFG TA KD series tires.

I love the bears. For a 8.0 inch wheel I like 235, 245 and 255 mm. 265 mm is pushing it.

None of the tire sizes you posted would actually be good on a Z , 245/40-18 is a front tire, 245-35-18 would be for a widebody civic

They would pinch a fair bit, and you'd be well out of spec. You'd have good chances of VDC giving you hell for that diameter.
