Alternate tire size - 03 XJR

Alternate tire size - 03 XJR
I will be replacing my Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40x18's very shortly. I want to get rid of or, at least reduce the tramlining and I have researched 235/45, 245/45 and 235/50. I have the 8 inch wide asteroid wheels.
The 235/45 will have a 1.2% change in speedo and odometer readings, a sidewall height increase of 0.15 inches and a circumference increase of 0.9 inches
The 245/45 will have a 2.5% change in speedo and odometer readings, a sidewall height increase of 0.32 inches and a circumference increase of 2 inches
The 235/50 will have a 4.7% change in speedo and odometer readings, a sidewall height increase of 0.6 inches and a circumference increase of 3.8 inches
All the tires I have looked at have had a higher maximum load rating than my current tires, a speed rating of W (270 Kmph max), and have a rim width range that includes 8 inches.
Has anyone put a smaller width or higher aspect ratio tire on an XJR? Does anyone have any recommendations on the tires sizes above? Would the 235/50 be too much of a change?
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
