235 wont fit unless its 8+J wide tyre. If its 7.5J wide 225 is max. Also check if the offset (ET value) is correct, should be lower then 40. Anything above 40 and the wheel will go to much into the wheel well.

Get one wheel onto your car and see how its fits. If its to much tucked in (as in to high offset) then dont go for it. It doesn't look good and you surely get rubbing issues on the inside.

So get the info about the offset before searching for tyres and all.

And just a thought. I like my 18" wheels for looks, but I dont like them for driveability, I'm planning to switch to 17" again. Want more rubber (8J compared to 7.5J now) and driveability back.
