We need more info here. What wheels are these? The spoke design plays a huge role is fitment over the brakes. Keep in mind the larger the spacer you run the closer the rim will be to your fenders.

Also, Ive gotta say it and prepare to hear this 10 more times. Get wider tires!!! That tire is going to be way too stretched for a 9.5in wheel. Why would you even bother running a skinnier tire than the factory 235? I dont get it...

I understand that you dont drive aggressively on the street, and I obviously dont condone street racing by and means. But nonetheless, that tire is going to be way to stretched and its going to impact your handing and braking. A good size tire for a 9.5" rim would be a 255 or 265 IMO.
