Pics please of 235/40/18 on a 9.5" wheel

i ordered wheels and tires from two different places, got a better deal that way. but i just noticed that the tires for the front are 235's and i thought they were 245's. the size guide i found lists 9.5 for the max width for this size tires but i'm worried it's gonna look weird. probably gonna be stuck with them for a while anyway but wanted to see if anyone had this setup and could put a pic up? thanks.

I'm not sure if that's going to look right or even work. 275's are the common size for a 9.5 inch wheel.

all the tire manufactures are listing the 235 for from 8.0 to 9.5 rim width but i just wanted to see how it looked, was thinking of maybe sellin these and ordering the 245's. probably just stick with what i've got for now and when they wear out i will get bigger ones.

Why the hell are you not getting 275s?

235s on a 9.5 inch wheel? That's gonna look goofy as hell.

Even 245s. Get 275s.

I've gotta say that 275's would be the narrowest tire I would consider for 9.5 inch wheels. I've got them on both of my cars and the sidewalls are vertical. 235's just seem like the sidewalls would angle in toward the center of the wheel and look weird.

well you guys were right, but i'm stuck with them for now, will probably order some 275's in a few months and just sell these. what's on the back is 265's and they look fine but will put them up front when i get the 275's. thanks for the input everyone.
