Can I go beyond 235 on my 18inch Monzas II, or is that the limit?

And, does having the wider tyres impact road handling in an adverse way?

A 235 on a 7.5j would be a bit naughty, you'll be fine on an 8. Although I'd be tempted to stick with a 225, just to reduce the risk of rubbing.

Wider track should help improve roll and the effects of weight transfer, bigger tyre footprint helps grip.
