Recorded OEM specifications for the 2009 Dodge Journey, donor years with overlapping ranges, and a calculator to compare a selected wheel. Range overlap is not a guaranteed fit.
Baseline mounting dimensions used for interchange decisions.
Multiple OEM configurations exist for this vehicle. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and factory wheel package – confirm your exact setup before buying.

These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2009 Dodge Journey. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 34 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Recorded OEM bolt pattern, center bore, and width/offset ranges overlap. This is not a guarantee that every wheel from the donor year fits this vehicle.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2009 Dodge Journey is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
View M12 x 1.5 options on Amazon – thread match only; seat style is not verified.
Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M14x1.5 on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change 5.2 mm, inner change 20.2 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

The values below reflect data provided for the 2009 Dodge Journey. Some trims and option packages used different wheel and tire sizes. Do not assume unlisted sizes or offsets. If a value is not shown, verify it with the on-page calculator comparison and OEM sources like the owner manual, door-jamb label, or your VIN at a dealer parts counter.
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x127 | Also referred to as 5x5 inches |
| Center bore | 71.6 mm | Use hub-centric rings if aftermarket wheel bore is larger |
| Thread size | M14 x 2.00 | Match lug nuts to wheel seat type and thread |
| Wheel size | 18 x 7.0 | One OEM example |
| Wheel offset | ET 40 mm | For the 18 x 7.0 example |
| Backspacing | 5.07 in | For the 18 x 7.0 ET40 example |
| Tire size | 225/70R16 | One OEM tire size observed. Indicates some trims used 16 inch wheels |
Because both 18 inch wheel data and a 16 inch tire size are listed, the 2009 Journey likely had multiple factory packages. If your vehicle differs, treat the values above as examples only. Confirm your exact factory size from the tire sidewall, the door-jamb label, or OEM documentation.
The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you compare a donor setup to your vehicle, and also model custom wheel and tire sizes. Follow these steps:
Always verify final fitment against OEM data for your VIN and physically test fit wheels before driving.
Because the 2009 Journey had multiple factory configurations, use the sizes on your vehicle as the baseline in the calculator. The examples below show how to think about plus sizing. They are not fitment guarantees.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2009 Dodge Journey?
5x127. This is the same as 5x5 inches. Always match exactly. Do not use adapters or wobble hardware to force a different pattern to fit.
What is the center bore size?
71.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore should use hub-centric rings sized to 71.6 mm inner diameter. Wheels with a smaller bore will not fit over the hub.
What is the OEM thread size and what lug nuts do I need?
M14 x 2.00. Choose lug nuts that match both this thread and your wheel’s seat type. Do not mix seat styles.
What offset should I use?
One OEM example is ET 40 mm on an 18 x 7.0 wheel. Other trims may differ. Use the calculator to compare any new offset to your current setup and verify inner and outer clearances, then confirm with OEM data for your VIN.
My Journey has 16 inch tires. Can I move to 17 or 18 inch wheels?
Possibly, but it depends on width, offset, tire size, and brake clearance. Use your current size as the baseline in the calculator, model a plus one or plus two setup that keeps overall diameter close, and perform a physical test fit before mounting tires.
Are spacers safe to use?
Quality hub-centric spacers can be used when necessary, but they require proper hub engagement and adequate stud thread engagement. Using spacers changes geometry and clearances, so model them in the calculator and test fit carefully.
Do I need new TPMS sensors?
You can typically transfer existing sensors if they are compatible with the new wheels. If not, use compatible sensors and complete relearn or programming as required.
Are 18 inch wheels stock on the 2009 Journey?
An 18 x 7.0 ET40 wheel is listed above as an OEM example. The 2009 Journey also shows an OEM 225/70R16 tire size. Trim and package differences exist, so confirm what your vehicle was built with using the door-jamb label or OEM parts data.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
