mjbaker84 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 she has a 2011 edge limited fwd with the factory 18's. If I buy rims like these would they have any issues swapping directly onto her edge? http://www.ebay.com/itm/290803890640?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 They should work fine. But remeber that 20" wheels will have a harsher ride compared to 18" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 she has a 2011 edge limited fwd with the factory 18's. If I buy rims like these would they have any issues swapping directly onto her edge? http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1423.l2649 thanks As long as the wheels are from a 2011 or newer Edge, they will fit with no problems. There will be almost a zero effect on your speedometer reading with the larger tires. Check this link to see the difference between the 18 and 20 inch tires. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Even the TPMS sensors will automatically connect after driving several miles at highway speed. If the wheels are from a 2010 or older Edge, the center bore is bigger than that used on 2011's and newer. You will have to add hub centric rings to get them to fit properly. They will also have a different type TPMS sensor which will not work with your vehicle. The sensors will have to be replaced with the correct ones. If you are not getting the sensors with the wheels, you can take yours from the 18 inch wheels and swap them into the 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjbaker84 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 thanks! I figured if I can get them for a good enough price it would be cheaper then buying good tires on her 18's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjbaker84 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 also whats a good price for the 20's plus tires at 80-90%? and what are the factory 18's with tires at 40% worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 also whats a good price for the 20's plus tires at 80-90%? and what are the factory 18's with tires at 40% worth? Price is hard to say because there are factors such as tire wear, TPMS and center caps included or not, lug nuts included, what are shipping charges, etc. I saw the wheels and tires you are interested in for $1200.00 with free shipping. That would be a good price if the wheels are in excellent condition. You are basically buying two good wheels, two damaged wheels, used tires, and getting free shipping because of the damage to the wheels. I just sold 4 20" wheels without a scratch on them with TPMS and center caps for $1000.00. I've also seen others sell the same wheels for that price. Tire Rack has the factory tires for $676.00 plus shipping. It is a decision you will have to make as to what you are paying for the package vs putting one together. Personally, if I were spending that much money just to jump up to 20" wheels and tires, I would want the wheels to be perfect or very good. Your tires with 40 percent will cost alot to ship unless you can sell them locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjbaker84 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 yea will the lug nuts on the car now work with the 20's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 yea will the lug nuts on the car now work with the 20's? There should be no problem with the lug nuts you have with the 18's working with the 20's. The difference comes into play sometimes when an aftermarket wheel is installed or replaced. Some times the lug nuts are not the same, with different types such as conical, radius, cone seat, etc. I just like to keep the same lug nuts with the wheels they came with.
