Fit is excellent - tire wall support is not an issue on the 11" rear wheel.
235 is optimal for the front, 245 is too wide and will give you issues with turn in and cornering feedback unless you're going to start running race car camber etc on your road vehicle.
If you want to run race set-up on the road then you're left dealing with the un-even wear it will generate, and a less than happy car cornering at slower speeds.
Visually the 235 and 315 look very well balanced, and when driving the result is well balanced and a nice firm ride.

The extra width on the 315 really helps provide a protective bead to the edge of the rim, and this is going to be a key feature for keeping that lip looking new over the years.
