So what if the sidewall is taller? It is irrelevant. Insofar as any concerns about AH, it's the diameter of the tires (or more precisely, the relationship between the front and rear tires' diameter) that is important. A 305/30-19 tire has a bigger diameter than a 275/35-18, and the 275 width is perfect for a 9.5" width wheel.

The difference in sidewall height between a 265/35 tire and a 275/35 tire is about .1". With 275/35 fronts, the sidewall will be about .2" taller than the sidewall of the 305/30; with a 265/35, the sidewall will be .1" taller than the sidewall of the rear. If you can see the .1" difference your eyes are better than mine. If you think that the latter combo looks odd, well, so be it.
