No! Just as long as backspacing is good

My 285/35R18 rub just a little in the front on the plastic fender liner.... but it has never caused a problem and only rubs with the wheel turned to where it hit the liner.

275/35/18 is almost the same size diameter as the stock tires are(25.6" vs 25.7"), I would go with those instead. A 275/40/18 is an inch taller than the stock tires, so the chance of rubbing would be a lot higher. I think they should still fit, but I would go with the stock height myself.
