Help with front tire size!

I currently have 18" 9.5 wheels in the front with Nitto NT 555 Extreme tires size 275 35 18. I have to get new ones and wanted to know if I should get 285 35 18 instead. Will these fit. Will it ride okay. The reason I want to go bigger is because the tires look too stretched on the rim. (I hope you guys know what I mean) When you look at it from the front of the car, the sidewall of the tire slants. Do you think going 285 is too big up front? What are your opinions? Thanks!! By the way my rear tires are nitto 555r 305 35 18.
