Default Will 235/40/17's fit std sapphire rear arches

Hi,

as title, will 235/40/17 fit standard sapphire rear arches with 8x17 et40 wheels

My cars going in for tuning in a couple of weeks and its time for some new tyres but want to get as much width on the rear as possible (currenty on 215/40/17's all round). The car is on koni's and around std height maybe slightly lower.

thanks.
