I'm here guys . Didn't need anything to make it work. They're the same offset and brakes clear fine. Mine's lowered too and no clearance problems.

With the new +1 size being 235/55R19, what size tire did you put on these 19" to fit? 245/50R19?

By the way Howiefied, I would get rid of that stupid wide license plate holder that our cars got here in Oz. This is what I did with mine. Unfortunately for me, my car is silver so hence why the 2 "holes" show. Your car is black so it should be easier to disguise.
