Yes, it will stretch a little tho, depends on the look you are going for. It will look odd if you do it all around, maybe just in the front and put some beefier tires out back?

Status: offline Actually 235 is one of the recomended tires to go on a 9in wheel. I personally have some on my car and they fit fine, not even a stretch.
