You can calculate the difference here:

Measure what clearance you have now & you will have a good idea weather your guards need rolling or not.

235 tyres? +48 is a safe offset so I think you should be fine

EDIT: Found some pics for ya..might not be the same wheel but same size/offset as yours :mrgreen:
