He has 19s on there, which usually have a 8.5 in.(216mm). The 225 tire you have on there now is 8.9" wide and a 235 will be 9.25" wide. The best rule of the thumb is to take the wheel width and add/subtract 10mm to get your rangeof tire widths that will fit fine.

Drop that thing first. I think you'll find you already have a rubbing problem.

FYI when I increased my tire width my handling got worse. Mine was stock rims.
