Offsets

I have a 2014 Journey coupe with the 18’s. I would like to go with 19’s. Is there an offset range I can use that will fit without the use of spacers or is the 42 to 45 all I can use?Thank you.

That will depend on the width and design of your wheel. I currently run +28 offset wheels with 9.5 width squared with perfect flush fitment and no rubbing. You can use the myg37 offset calculator and see what will fit: https://www.myg37.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php

The Akebono brakes limit wheels you can run if you have an S model.

So I guess the real question is does it matter what offset I use? I’ve seen people using as little as 28 up to 48mm offsets with No spacers and from what I gather it just changes the where the wheel sits. Am I correct? I don’t want to miss out on wheels that I think don’t fit but do. Thanks!

Offset is simply how far your wheel is pushed out from the hub. Depending on the width of your wheels, offsets need to change to account for how much room you need on the inside of the wheels to clear suspension parts.

I should have posted this visual calculator instead of the one on this site. It helps you visualize things a bit better. Use your current wheels as a guide, and see how much room you have now and how much you want to add for flush fitment.

Tnt was very helpful thank you. So essentially I can use a 30mm positive offset but it will
chamge where the wheel sits.

Yes, the wheel lip will be almost flush with the fender with around +30 offset and 9.5” wheel
