Miller88 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 My parents are strongly considering a 2013 Edge, well, more specifically, my mother. They currently have a PoS 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The winter tires we have on it are 215 85-16 (approx 30'' tall). The tire itself should tuck into the wheel well - it's only slightly taller than the 20'' offerings on the edge. My question is about caliper clearance. Will the 16'' wheels clear the caliper? I know they will have to get different wheels (the JK Wrangler has 5x5 bolt patern) - but there are numerous ford vehicles in the junkyard with a matching bolt pattern in 16'' So, can a 16'' wheel clear the caliper?

Feirstein Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) It is not just the wheel size but also the offset that can cause interference. The only way to tell for sure is to get a wheel of the proper offset in a 16" size and give it a try.
