on my 01 and most TL-Cl of gen2 can run 225 tires but 235 will need a little fender modding to clear- this is assuming you are running lowered about 1.5 inches
My rims are 18x8.0 and 45 offset. You will be sticking out of the fender with 9.5 IMO
You can look in the Tires section of the main gen2 thread list - there are combos
that work or dont listed there

OP is trying to score a great used set with 235s that wont fit the car direct bolt up- no problems
Doesnt look promising

Find wheels that fit the car.
Also the tl lowered rids just fine. Every one that has ridden in my car could never tell it was lowered. It rides better than stock (except with a big dip in the road) you would never know. Large tires like your looking at will make the ride rougher than lowering it!!

i figured since they were +42 off set and only 7" wide it would fit...compared to the 8.5 with a 38 offset...thanx for the input..
