If the measuring rim width for 275/35/18 is 9.5", then you are effectively at 11.1" since for every half inch of rim width change, you change section width by 0.2". So your total change will be 0.3", not 0.5".

There is no way of telling for sure without looking under the car - can you jack it up and see how much inner clearance you have right now and where the point of least clearance is? If the height of the 275 is posing the largest clearance limit (i.e. close to spring perch) then you will clear 285/30 since it is shorter. If the width is the problem (i.e. you are <0.3" from the shock from the tire sidewall) then you will not be able to clear without a spacer.
