You could find them cheaper, but they will still be VERY expensive.

 

More important than most items when running any sort of single power though so it's a sound investment.

 

I completely agree as the tyre choice and suspension setup is paramount for putting the power to the tarmac. Traction is only as good as the weakest element in the chain which is usually your tyres.

I think you'll struggle with a 275/40/18 up front and even a 275/35/18 irrespective of offset as the rolling radius is so big. You'll likely have better luck with a 285/30 and even then there'll be potential clearance issues depending on offset and spring rates (especially with lots of steering lock while braking according to lots of guys on SF).

 

I run 255/35/18 front and 315/35/17 rear.
