THe tread will be almost as wide as the rim itself, and it will be over an inch taller.

Youll be streching them too far.

Point of Clarification:

If these are indeed 17 inch WS6 rims, then with rims at 9.5 inches wide, a 235 / 55 tire though taller (235 X 55% = 129.25 mm vs. 275 X 35% = 96.25 mm), is not wider than stock.

They'll actually be 40 mm narrower and 33 mm taller than stock.

My guess, the skinniest tire you could run on a 9.5" rim would be a 265. But the 275 is more available, albeit not always super affordable.
