Ok so thanks to @basic I have a budget boost just itching to get itself under my Jeep

Question is how will it look with the 235’s? Should I wait til winter when I get new tires and go to 31/32’s?

Do you know if the 11.5 will fit on the stock steel wheels?

I don't think they will. I believe there is too much backspacing and they will rub on your control arms.
Back when I bought my Jeep, the first mods was a set of 2" BB spacers, Skyjacker hydro shocks, and 32x11.5x15 on 15x8 steel wheels with 3.75" backspacing.
When I started going off road those tires rubbed pretty bad on the fenders. So I added a 1.25" JKS body lift and a 1" mml to go with it.
That did the trick for running 32" tires off road. On road only, they were fine. The JKS BL/mml is all that remains on my Jeep today.
Here is an old pic of it with 2" BB, 1.25" BL, and 32x11.5x15 tires.

That’s a nice stance!

I think I’ve figured out I might can go with 265/75/15

They will give me a bit more of an aggressive look. Once this becomes a toy and rubbing will be an issue I can address it then

Thoughts?
