I have 235s on my stock ls sport wheels and they dont rub. Cant remember the sidewall ratio but with 16" wheels its no prob. I would say as long as the backspacing/offset on your wheels is right you will be fine

That tire is too big for the stock wheel, its rated at 6.5-8.5's. Stock is 6"s, not to mention thats it's a half inch taller.

I wanted 225/45/r17 to keep my speedo the same but my tire place didnt stock them so instead i got 235 40r17 and they dont rub. He told me as long as you go up in the 1st and down in the second you should be fine. My speedo is only 1% off so i dont really care. either way $120 per tire.

I'm running 245/40/17s on 17x8 with a +35 offset. Fenders needed a roll and pull to prevent rubbing

I pulled some 235/55/16s off an S10 and bolted them right up to my stock 99 4door cavy. No rubbing at all.
