Bill1 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I read through some messages but I am still a bit unclear on swapping tires/rims the 2014 crossroad I am looking at comes with 225/55/R19's it seems to be really difficult to find steel rims in this size, I do see listed 225/65/R17's used with winter tires mounted are these a swap or they just won't fit or would be unsafe, if the do fit and are safe what would be the difference, I would guess the Crossroad would sit a little lower to the ground.

bramfrank Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) The Journey (any year and all models) can take 17" and larger wheels. Older Journeys (the ones with the smaller brakes) can also take 16" wheels. The tire size is obviously impacted, because for any wheel size, the width and circumference of the tires needs to conform to what the vehicle can handle. So, like many among us I have 17" steel wheels with my 225/65/17 snow tires mounted on them and the original 19" wheels with (in my case) a set of 225/55/19 Bridgestone ECOPIA H/L 422 PLUS installed. Those sizes are what FCA delivers with the vehicles. They diameter of the tires is close enough that there is minimal impact on speedometer and odometer accuracy. Ride height is pretty much the same, too. Edited April 17, 2018 by bramfrank mechanical-idiot, Armando G, jkeaton and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
