Tire tread width varies A LOT by manufacturer and model. For a given width (the 235 part, mfgs can vary up to 1.5" wider or narrower.) Not knowing the model Falken Azeni, if I had to gues... those 235's are going to be stretched a bit on a 9.5" wheel width. Try to lookup the "tread width" (not just the overall "section width") to determine the amount of stretch/chub I'm going to end up with. Tirerack makes this easy, other sites, not so much. For my purposes I try to stay within +/- 0.5" of the section width to the wheel/rim width. For some people -2.0" tread to wheel width is just fine.
The absolute easiest way to tell what the end look will be is simply to do an internet search for it. You will have to filter through some false positives, but eventually you'll likely find someone running the same or a similar setup.
