Expert Reply:
The closest tire we have to your 235/85-17.5 is the Taskmaster Provider 235/75R17.5 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range J # P35175.
The 235/85-17.5 size tires you have are 33.2 inches in diameter and have a width of 9.3 inches. The 235/75R17.5 tires we have are 31.38 inches outer diameter and 9.17 inches wide, so they are a little smaller. This is the only option we carry that will fit your current wheels/rims, but cannot be used as a spare due to the size difference. I recommend replacing your tires with this more standard size tire so you can have a usable spare as well.
I have linked the page to all your wheel options with the 3 different bolt patterns and have also linked an article to assist.
