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

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!!
