ive got 18s with 275s on my vr and have no problems at all. Id guesse that 235 would be fine.

The VR's I am sure have a different shaped wheel guard to the VN-P sedans which are the same shape as the VN-S wagons. My brother had to roll & flare the guards out on his VN so the 16 x 7's wouldn't scrape,an adjustable panhard rod was also needed,note it was a wagon.
