What is your vehicles year make and model? A 315/30R18 would give you the same sidewall.

Here's a tire size calculator that may help: Tire Size Calculator

IMO, go with a 295/35/18.
A 295/35/18 is just a little bit taller than a 275/35/18, cost less, and is available from more manufactures then a 315/30/18.
