I would go with Trularin's advise, because backspacing kept buggering me around as well.

just consider that your 235 adds just above 1/2" to the rim and the 275 about 3/4".

1 degree of camber though let's the tire tilt inwards by 3/8".

I posted measurements of the TRIGO here:

"Cobra wheels have 3.1/2'' backspace I am told.?"

I took some measurements from the TRIGO set. I never really got used to "backspacing" or "offset":

25.4 mm = 1" (sorry for metric values)

front nominal width 7.5"
total width: 214 mm
wheel mounting face towards brakes: 92 mm
center section thickness: 67 mm
take wing nut off and measure to outside: 55 mm
wheel mounting face to outside (towards fender): 122 mm

rear nominal width 9.5"
total width: 264 mm
wheel mounting face towards brakes: 92 mm
center section thickness: 67 mm
take wing nut off and measure to outside: 105 mm
wheel mounting face to outside (towards fender): 172 mm
