235 is the width of the tire in millimeters (9.4 inches) 75 is an aspect ratio between height and width, basically it tells you how large the sidewall of your tire is in relation to the tires width. 75 % of 9.4 is 7.05 which is the distance from the tread of the tire to the opening for the rim. R15 is the diameter of the rim that will fit that size tire in inches. e.g. you would need 15 inch rims. Just to make sure you have it down, if you had a 240/70/R18 you would have a 240mm wide tire, with a 70% aspect ratio (height to width), with 18 inch rims. Hope this helps!
