Will those mount on stock Z wheels and not rub??

Here is a post were Shad put 315/35/18's on his car and they fit. May not fit if your car is lowered though.

The 315's would need a minimum of a 11" rim (people have done it on stock Z rims though). They do make a 305/35/18 which would fit the 10.5" stock Z rims.
