MyWalletHatesMe Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 So I’ve been reading around and seen a few posts claiming that 255/55R19 will fit the dodge journey without issues. Some claim it needs a spacer and some claim they fit fine. from my experiences, a tire of that size in a all terrain configuration, even with a one inch spacer will not fit with stock inner fender liners. To fit a tire of that size to have proper clearance, the original liners need to be a removed and some trimming on the forward facing front of the body is also necessary. Not very much but a little bit. From there a custom inner fender can be installed by yourself or a shop with abs plastic sheets. If I were to do it again, I’d get a tire with a slightly smaller width for my clearance. A tire with a less aggressive tread may also work as the Goodyear wranglers I’m running on a 255/55R19 stick out quite a bit. overall it looks really cools and drives a lot softer over bumps and potholes. However for more steering clearance under strut compression I’d go with a tire with less width. The height is fine however. This is my first post here so I hope some people find this helpful. Thanks 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Welcome to the Forum! Sharp looking ride you have. BUT be on the watch for center of tire wear as that wide of tire on stock rim width will force a bulge in the center of the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulstad Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Just bought a used 2014 DJ R/T, fitted with 235 55 R19's all the way around. Everytime I look up new tires for it online(winter's coming, and I know I need new rubber), I get told the factory default for my DJ is 225 55 R19. Being "automotively challenged", will tires that are oversized like this be doing any damage/harm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 235 55 19 are what I have been running for over 4-5 yrs no problem except your speedo will show 70 mph and your actually speed will be 71 mph also since it is a different size than the more popular size 225 55 19 If you need to replace a tire due to a road hazard they may not have the same brand and size in stock and you might end up with mismatched tire of your journey,,,,, ask me how I know.....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use an online tire calculator to play with tire dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
