check it out here.
I plugged in the stock as tire 1 and the 235 as tire 2.
Speedometer (Assuming that tire 1 is OEM tire and speedometer readings are correct): When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 60.9mph (98km/h): 1.5% faster. (< 2 % is acceptable)
Suspension (Assuming that tire 1 is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides): 235 package is 5 mm (0.2'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Fenders: 235 package will stick out 5 mm (0.2'') farther. Acceptable for most cars.
Wheelwells: Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 5 mm. Acceptable for most cars.
