I wouldn't count on it.  Your rim:tire ratio is about 59%.  With 195 on 
4.5" (my baseline for comparison, which was quite bad), it is 58%.

With nothing to compare it to, you may find it "just fine," but I'll 
betcha $20 my 195 on 5.5" setup (72% ratio) feels a lot better than a 
235 on 5.5" setup...

If you are going for a drag car, it may suit you just fine.  But, if 
you are going for a vehicle that's designed to run on the street daily 
and actually turn once and awhile, I wouldn't do it.

Take care,
