you need to lower the tire size by 1... instead of 235 go 225. You won't have an issue. Trust me, take it from someone that has 19x9.5's in the back with no rubbing...

Roll those fenders! I fit a 235/40 on a 18x9+35 back there with stechs. For the front, you'll need to cut some of the plastic so that it doesn't rub.

If you do it right, it will just roll the inside lip of the fender. If you over do it, it could create a lip on the outside of the fenders. Just google it and you'll find how to's and pictures and stuff.
