Default New tires needed

I have the 265\35-18" tires on my car now and wanted to fill in the fender gap alittle. What tire would give me more height? and look closer to stock?
Would 285\35-18" work? Is there a large differance in height of these two?

A 285/35/18 or a 295/35/18 would work on the car but you may be limited by the wdth of your wheels. The 285/35/18 will work on either the 9.5 or 10.5 wide wheels. The 295 is not recomended on the 9.5 wheel.

thanks for the help. I plan on lowering with Strano springs and new shocks when they're back in stock. I messed up going with 265/35 and should of bought a little thicker tire? I figure after I dropped the gap on the top by lowering it then I would need to fill in the gap from front to back with a bigger tire?
