The tires will fit fine, I was running that size tires on my soft 8's. they just wont bulge much, the tires should be a little over 9" wide so it'll work

If you don't plan to do much in the way of putting any sideload on your tires, the 235's will be OK, BUT, if you plan to spend any time in rocks, or even heavy wet clay, and putting sideload stress on your tires, I would caution that you stand a good chance of popping a bead. The tires are already stretched out, and they really don't like that much. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to knock the bead off the rim.
Yeah, I know, always a party pooper, right?
