For anyone in Canada, eastern Ontario, I highly recommend quattrotires (online tire sales)
Excellent prices, good selection of tires, very quick delivery.
Last March I ordered 4 General Grabbers for my Jeep, they were the cheapest I could find. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and they were delivered by 1pm Friday that same week. When I checked the date stamp on each tire (I was concerned they may have been selling old stock) three of them were manufactured in January, one in December the previous year.
I ordered a fifth for my spare a month later, and received great service again.
Did I mention it was also free shipping?
I will be using them again when I purchase a set of snow tires for the Journey, I just have to decide on wheels, as I do mot want steelies.
They're located in St.Jerome, QC, near our family cottage.

I just wanted to mention that the information you posted Black Diamond is very misleading and confusing. The information that Bazinga posted is 100% correct. And tire size has nothing whatsoever to do with the rim rubbing.

Kinda hard to justify a road trip with a wife and three kids, just to pick up a set of rims!
Hopefully the taxman is kind again to us this year, we usually get a sizeable return, which allows some funds for toys

Here's the link . http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/city-of-toronto/17-eagle-050-alloy-wheel-matte-black-5x5-5-5/1127873427?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true They list all these rims on kijiji in different ads plus a few more.

Sean, where are you located, and on what site did you find the rims? If I can get a set of those for $600, I'd rather do that, and run winters on them, than buying a set of steelies for next winter!

Maybe it's like that episode of Seinfeld, where the couldn't get the BO smell of the valet driver out!

Oh, and just found that black one I posted above, google for;
dodge+journey+kmc
It brings up a few nice examples of bigger wheels. The black one I posted has 20's, with a 40 offset, probably 9 inches wide.

On my Jeep I had the Rough Country 1.5", which are also hub centric, and had no issues whatsoever with them. I'm regretting not trying them out on the Journey before selling them.

I better check the 1010tire calc to see what you mean
So, I just checked 1010tires, and I think I'm bang on in my thinking, plugging in stock wheel width and offset, compared to new wheel and offset, says
"Extend an extra 39mm" position of the outside edge of the wheel. So essentially, measure 39mm (roughly 1.5inch) out from your current wheel, and that's where your new wheel will sit.

Disclaimer, I'm just trting to help you out!!
So, when I eye balled w/tape measure, my 1.5inch spacers, from the edge of my current, stock tires/rims, the spacers would have put my wheels even with the fenders, or flush.
Now, 1.5inches = 38.1mm
So unless I'm totally offbase and confused, or missing something, you would need at least a zero offset rim, just to put your wheels flush with the fenders.
You say you want them to stick out past your fenders, you, again, unless I'm totally out to lunch, should be looking at negative offset rims, like what are used on Jeeps to get the wheels/tires, to stick out past the fenders.
Remember, I'm coming from the Jeep world, where my Jk had, I believe 40mm offaet stock wheels, and I put on the 1.5inch spacers to avoid rubbing larger tires at full steering lock, and the spacers barely put the wheels/tires sticking out of the fenders. If my calculations are correct, with the addition of the spacers, I was at about a 2mm offset.
I no expert, but have lots of experience over the years with aftermarket wheels and playing with offsets. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me, I just don't want you Sean, or amyone else, to be disappointed after spending their hard earned cash

Just make sure the centre bore is correct, you may also need hubcentric rings if it is different.
Did you find the rims at a shop, or second hand? If at a shop, they could probably test fit one for you first.
Being a +20 rim, it won't stick out as far as you think, it will only be a 20mm difference over your stock wheels. To make them flush with the fenders, or stick out, you will need an offset of 0, or less. Check that link to the tire size calculator I put in my last post, you can plug in the different wheel sizes, offsets, etc to help you pick out your wheels.
Just trying to help you out, don't want you to be disappointed after you purchase the wheels.

Welcome! Nice Journey, looks like you're one of the lucky ones that actually got a front plate mount. Up here in Canada, we're required to run front plates, yet the mounts aren't supplied with the cars, just two holes in the darn bumper...

Dave, your story touched my heart. I'm about to go through a painful time myself, as my wife is having surgery tomorrow to remove a cancerous tumour, and with cancer, we all know too well that it is not easy to beat.
My wife is a lot tougher than I am, and she seems to be taking it in stride.
I couldn't begin to imagine my life, or my kids lives without her.
My grandfather passed away when I was 18, and my grandmother just passed before Christmas. She 93, and was without him for over 20 years, never forgot about him or took down pictures. Warms my heart to know they're finally back together, after such a long time apart.

I did some googling when I first got the Journey, looking at options, and as the bolt pattern is the same as my previous Jeep, there are a lot of low offset rims available
My favorite site for comparing tire sizes and wheel offsets, is;
https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
Where you can compare factory wheel/tire specs, to others you are considering.
Attached picture is not mine, but one I found via google.
I was tempted to try my 1.5" spacers on my stock wheels, that I had kept from my Jeep, and with a quick look with a tape measure, the factory wheels would have sat pretty flush with the body/fender.

Neto, where do you live? Do you encounter roads that say "tire chains required"?
If not, I wouldn't bother. A good driver, with a decent set of snow tires can get pretty much anywhere on normal roads, your limiting factor would be snow depth and the Journey's ride height.
In my 20+ years of driving, (I drive everyday for a living, no, not a truck driver, but a service rep) I have driven in many parts of Canada during the winter, from Quebec to B.C. and have never once felt the need for tire chains.
