Yes, the Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO is listed as a fit for the 2010 Toyota RAV4 with a stock spare tire size. The rack will fit tire widths up to 12.5 inches, your 235 series tires are 9-1/4 inches wide, so it will work great!
I have linked a video showing the rack on a 2009 RAV4.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
