    If they came off a post-middle 2012 Journey, they could not be 16", since the larger calipers make it impossible to fit that size wheel on the vehicle.  17" tires aren't outrageously expensive.  And yes. if you decide to do the 'big brake upgrade' (or you get a newer Journey) at some point these wheels will still work for you.

    if they came off a 2014 then yes shouldn't be a problem, might just want to measure some other rims just to make sure

    16 should be no problem, but why not ask your dodge dealership for the correct info?

    Cheap set for sale in the classified section. I “think” they are still available.

    I did the same thing, but I went with a 17 inch rim and a higher walled tire.  Don't forget to check the equivalent tire size to match the rim size (should match the original 19" rim and tire height) or otherwise, your odometer and speedometer will be off.  If you check the online tire stores, they will show equivalent tire sizes to the original.
     
    I hope I am making sense.

    If you have the small brakes the 16" rims will work, assuming proper bolt pattern and offset.

    Thanks but I am in Canada, the conversion rates and shipping would kill me lol. This guy with the 16” is local and wants $200 CAD.

    Haha, that’s a long story. I’ll never return there ever unless it’s something I cannot buy or find out elsewhere. I only live in a small town with 1 dodge dealership.

    I usually do (did) the same until I did a full flush on my other car when it hit 100K. I was shocked what came out. Glad you got it all out though.

    Have never done a full flush in any vehicle I’ve owned, just drained and refilled before it got so scummy it needed flushing, However I did flush my heater core as this year is known for the issues with the heater core. I also managed to get the remainder out by removing the coolant hose going into the engine.

    I installed Pioneer Ts-a6966r 6 x 9 speakers into the front doors of my 2013 without any problems. Also upgraded the dash speakers wih1" power acoustik tweeters. I was looking for a way to mount them so I used a hot glue gun to glue them to the top of the old speaker.  Huge difference in sound now.

    I have a 2011 DJ R/T.  It has been a great vehicle.  Had the cylinder 2 head issue.  Chrysler fixed it without issue in 2011.  My DJ still runs as smooth as the day I brought it home after 80k miles.  The 3.6 is a great engine.  The transmission does shudder occasionally, but that is a characteristic not a problem in my experience.  I replaced my brake rotors and pads, as warping rotors was a problem.  No problems with brakes or braking power with new rotors and pads.   That brake issue was corrected by Chrysler in the 2012.5 models.   I don't believe the DJ uconnect is plagued by  more electrical/tech issues than any other vehicle.  Vehicles have lots of tech nowadays.  There are some uconnect gremlins.  Mine have been very minor.  The rear suspension bushings on my DJ squeak occasionally.  The suspension works fine.  Some may say this is a problem.   Honestly, the only "problem" that I have currently is a rattle that I get at speed on the passenger side of the windshield.  Minor.  It pulls at my OCD strings, though.  I can't track it down.  
    I love the utility of the DJ without being a huge vehicle.  The floor storage bins are awesome, the cargo area is pretty large even with the third row up.  I must admit, my third row has never seen the light of day as I carry lots of gear.   I got 27.3 mpg on my most recent trip at approx 65 mph through the mountains of Colorado.   My DJ will usually get 22-26 mpg at 75-80 mph depending on the winds.  My DJ does not like headwinds.  I usually have bikes or boards on the roof which affects gas mileage.  The 3.6 has plenty of passing power.  The manual mode shifting makes downshifting for power easy.   
     
    I'm sure I forgot some stuff. . .   That's my honest opinion and experience.
     
    Peace.

    i had a 2011 ( a few problems with the undersized brakes) had 70 k on it liked it so much i traded it for my 2014 crossroad have had one small oil sender problem at 45 k but my  extended warranty took care of that (100. ded) plan on driving it till i pass on or it does. that said if your so worried about things you have read you might want to get something else. just remember you usually only hear the bad stuff about things and the good praise usually goes unsaid. good luck on what ever you decided.
