The drop should average about 1.4 front and 1.1 rear. I know folks have used the kit with the narrower 225 tire, but it would be difficult to say that the 235 wouldn't have any issues with the fender. May have to consider measurements with the current tire, or consider the option of switching to a 225 if issues come up. Give me a call if you want to discuss the details.
