I'd go with some R888's or RA1's if I were you.

They will be shorter than stock and there aren't that many tires in that size. You'd be better going with a 245/40/18.

R888, RA1's, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cups all come in 245/40 just fyi.

Don't listen to these guys, for an aggressive look you really want to run a 15' rim and some Super Swampers narrows. These will also grip for days.
