Im trying to keep the tire away from the fender as much as posible, worse case I’ll roll them a little. Thanks for the help. Btw, I love the color contrast between the yellow calipers and the black paint.

If you can get away with a smaller spacer then that's definitely the way to go. Without added negative camber that would be best, otherwise if you can reach -2.0 using M4 LCA's or camber plates then you can clear the fender no problem with 235's even with the 10mm spacer.
From Apex
"Front & Rear: 17x9" ET42 with 255/40-17 tires •Available in ARC-8, ARC-8R, and EC-7R designs.
•Front 8mm or 10mm front spacers required (hub extender required). 12mm can also work with negative camber dialed in.
•Rear negative camber and/or rolled fenders highly recommended"
Here's a 17x8.5 ET40 setup which I think is pretty solid if you're super worried about fender clearance. The take away on the 9" + wheels is typically that negative camber is required, weather minimal at -2* or more..
