255's on a 9 inch wheel would be more or less square AFAIK

and 235's on a 10? how is that helpful at all?

Its simple physics smart ***. You got a 10" wheel with 235. Take off an inch from the rim, and go two sizes up in tires, its gunna square out.

I'm just saying the OP asked for "apples", and you gave him a picture of "oranges" without any explanation of how to convert it to what he was asking. I understand the simple arithmetic involved, but did the OP? Just the pictures alone failed to answer his question.
