265 and 275 were 30-40 bucks more expensive than 285. well worked out perfectly for me anyway but I need a set now for fronts too

35s seem tall to me. I'm running 285/30/18. Maybe thats why they costed less.

These tires will be an inch taller than stock due to the 35 vs 30.

Yep, at 285, 30 would the correct profile. 35 is too tall.

The height # is expressed as % of width.
265mm * 35% = 92.75mm

285mm * 35% = 99.75mm

Do you have a way to calibrate your speedo?
