DuDz40VT Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hey y'all, Just picked up a 2007 SEL AWD Edge and would really love to replace my current 18" wheels with the 2011-current 20" limited Wheels or maybeee the 22" Sport wheels... Can I just swap them out? I know the bolt pattern is the same... but... any other issues? I saw some post about the hub size, but it wasn't clear... I'm leaning towards these 20" Thanks for the help!

ls973800 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Your 2007 has a larger hub opening size than the 2011 model. Yours has a 70.5 mm (almost 2.77 inch) opening. The 2011 has a smaller size of 63.4 mm (almost 2.5 inch). Some people have reportedly enlarged the opening by paying a machine shop to do so. I personally would not do this due to cost and weakening of the wheel structure. I know it is only 1/4 of an inch or so, but I would find other wheels. Your TPMS sensors are also completely different (the way they attach and the frequency they send on) than the ones used on the 2011. You would have to transfer yours onto the new wheels.

DuDz40VT Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 dang it ok, thanks for the info. Any idea what model years are compatible with the '07 hub size then? Are all 1st gen '07-'10 model wheels compitable or did they change the hub size before the refreshed '11 model? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 The hub size changed on the 2011 models. Anything from a 2010 Edge and older will fit your 2007. You can also check and find other Ford wheels which have a similar opening as yours. I believe the new Explorers have the larger openings. Start checking edBay for Ford wheels and ask the seller what size the opening is. You should be able to get a good idea what other models of Fords will fit yours. I found all this out when I replaced the factory 20" wheels on my 2013 Edge Limited. I ended up with some wheels from a Ford Flex which also uses the smaller opening.

Edgieguy Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 You can always use the 22" from the Explorer Sport Adrenaline or the 10' Edge Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
