2019 Dodge Journey Wheel Interchange

2019 Dodge Journey Wheel Fitment And Interchange Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2019 Dodge Journey

The details below reflect known factory specifications for the 2019 Dodge Journey. Trims and option packages can vary, so always verify on your driver door jamb label, in the owner manual, and with the on-page calculator before purchasing.

Notes:

• The values above are known examples and may represent different trims or packages. If your Journey shows different wheel or tire sizes on the door jamb, use those as your baseline and confirm with the calculator.
• Lug nut seat style can vary by wheel. Match the seat type to the wheel manufacturer. Do not assume it is the same as OEM if you change wheels.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you compare a donor vehicle wheel to your 2019 Dodge Journey and test custom wheel and tire sizes.

• Set Installed on (your vehicle) to 2019 Dodge Journey.
• Set Wheels from (donor vehicle) to the vehicle you are considering. This shows bolt pattern and baseline differences.
• Use Custom wheel size to try new rim diameter, width, and offset. The tool updates position changes such as inner clearance and poke.
• Use Custom tire size to enter section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates overall tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep rolling diameter close to stock.
• Review changes to inner clearance to the strut and brake hardware, outer poke relative to the fender, and overall tire diameter. Aim for minimal change unless you have measured clearance.

Tip: Start from a known OEM reference for your trim. If your door label shows 225/65R17, use that as the baseline when evaluating larger wheel options.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Must be 5x127. Anything else will not bolt up.
• Center bore: Vehicle hub is 71.6 mm. If the wheel bore is larger, use hub-centric rings sized 71.6 mm to the wheel bore. If the wheel bore is smaller than 71.6 mm, the wheel will not fit.
• Thread size: M14 x 2.00. Use matching hardware of the correct seat type for the wheel.
• Offset and width: OEM example is 7.5 in wide with ET 38. Use the calculator to model inner clearance to the strut and brake caliper and outer poke to the fender when changing width or offset.
• Overall tire diameter: Keep close to your OEM tire diameter to help maintain speedometer accuracy and proper ABS and stability control operation. Use the calculator to compare.
• Brake clearance: Spoke design and barrel profile matter. Verify caliper and barrel clearance. Test fit whenever possible.
• Load rating: Wheel and tire load index must meet or exceed the OEM requirement on your door label.
• TPMS: Confirm sensor compatibility and plan for relearn or programming if required.
• Suspension and body clearance: Check at full lock and full compression. Consider mud flaps and inner fender liners.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Many owners move between OEM-style 17 inch and 19 inch packages. Because trims differ, do not assume any specific combination will fit your Journey without checking. Use these guidelines:

• Keep overall tire diameter within roughly 3 percent of your OEM tire diameter. The calculator shows this difference.
• When increasing wheel width, use the calculator to watch inner clearance to struts and the sway bar, and outer poke relative to the fender edge.
• Use offset changes conservatively. Start from the OEM reference around ET 38 and model small changes until you maintain safe clearances on both sides.
• Maintain or exceed the OEM tire load index and speed rating printed on your door label.

If your door jamb shows 225/65R17, you can use the calculator to identify a 18 or 19 inch tire size with a similar overall diameter. If your vehicle came with 19 x 7.5 ET 38 wheels, use that as your starting wheel reference.

Installation Tips

• Safely support the vehicle on jack stands placed at approved lift points. Chock wheels on the ground.
• Clean the hub face with a wire brush so the wheel seats flat. Remove rust scale and old anti-seize.
• If using hub-centric rings, install them fully seated on the hub before mounting the wheel.
• Start all lug nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading. Ensure correct seat type for the wheel.
• Snug in a star pattern, then torque in a star pattern to the OEM wheel torque spec found in your owner manual or service data.
• Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
• Verify brake caliper and barrel clearance by slowly rotating the wheel by hand before driving.
• If your Journey uses TPMS, install compatible sensors and perform the relearn or programming procedure as required.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench for accurate final torque
• 3 ton floor jack and quality jack stands
• TPMS service kit or replacement sensors compatible with your wheels
• Hub-centric rings 71.6 mm to wheel bore if using wheels with a larger center bore

FAQs

• Will any 5x127 wheel fit my 2019 Dodge Journey?

  No. Bolt pattern is only one factor. You must also match or correctly adapt the center bore to 71.6 mm, ensure proper offset and width for clearance, confirm brake caliper clearance, and use the correct M14 x 2.00 hardware with the right seat style.

• My door label shows 225/65R17. Can I run 19 inch wheels?

  Possibly. Use the calculator to find a 19 inch tire size with similar overall diameter and model offset and width against the OEM baseline. Verify brake and fender clearance and maintain load index and speed rating.

• What hub-centric ring size do I need for aftermarket wheels?

  The vehicle hub is 71.6 mm. If your aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use rings sized 71.6 mm to the wheel bore. If the wheel bore is smaller than 71.6 mm the wheel will not fit.

• What lug nuts should I use?

  The thread is M14 x 2.00. The seat type must match the wheel design. Follow the wheel manufacturer guidance and torque to the OEM spec from your owner manual or service data.

• What offset works on the Journey?

  An OEM example is ET 38 on a 7.5 inch wide wheel. Use the calculator to simulate small offset changes along with width changes and verify inner clearance to suspension and outer fender poke. Measure on the vehicle whenever possible.

• Can I reuse my factory TPMS sensors with new wheels?

  Often yes if the new wheels accept the same valve style and the sensors are compatible. Replace seals as needed and perform the TPMS relearn or programming per the service manual.

• What is the backspacing on the OEM 19 x 7.5 wheel?

  A known OEM example is backspacing 5.25 in with ET 38 on a 19 x 7.5 wheel. Confirm your specific wheel markings and measure if uncertain.
