They would look terrible. The 275/35/18 is 1 1/2 inches smaller than your stock tire (25.6" vs 27.2"). The best tire for an 18 x 9 would be a 255/45/18 - 27" diameter.

Is your car lowered?

If its not, I wouldn't go with anything shorter than stock 27.2" or you will get even more fender gap.

I went with the Goodyear F1 Supercars in 255/45/R18. Overall I'm very happy with 'em and the price at tirerack was right - pic is attached.
