mmtroop1218 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi guys, new here and just had a question. I know most of these questions have been asked a million times but its driving me crazy to go back and forth between all the threads to get answers, then I forget what I previously read and have to go back and find it, so I was hoping to have my questions answered in one spot. Here are my questions, first with a little background. I need to swap out my 2011 edge sport wheels (22") for a new winter set up. a) Everywhere I go im told that they do not make a steel 17" wheel option for my edge. Is this true, because Ive seen people on this site with them on there same year edges. b.) I found a pair of 20" 2008 limited wheels for a real good price but have read here that the center bore is different and will not work. Is there a safe way to make this work without machining out the wheel any further?? c.) can anyone tell me what other OEM ford wheels will for on the 2011 edge. Ive seen people use Flex wheels, and mustang wheels, but didnt know if they truly swap out easily or if there was additional work that needed to be done, and also what other wheels may fit (explorer, escape, ranger???) Help with these questions and any additional info to help, as well as any issues people may have ran into, would greatly be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true, because Ive seen people on this site with them on there same year edges. Yes, there is a 17 inch wheel for the Edge which came factory installed. I don't know what years they came, but they were a factory wheel. I found a pair of 20" 2008 limited wheels for a real good price but have read here that the center bore is different and will not work. Is there a safe way to make this work without machining out the wheel any further? The bore on the 2008 is larger than the 2011. It will fit your 2011 with no problem if you use wheel centric hubs on each wheel. You need to reduce the hub opening from 70.5mm (2.77 inches) to 63.4mm (2.5 inches). You can find these by doing a Google search. If you are planning on using TPMS sensors to avoid the light on the dash from staying on, you will need different sensors than the ones that the 2008 use. You need a set from 2011 or newer which use a different mounting method and a different frequency than the 2010 and older models. No problem changing them out. can anyone tell me what other OEM ford wheels will for on the 2011 edge. Ive seen people use Flex wheels, and mustang wheels, but didnt know if they truly swap out easily or if there was additional work that needed to be done, and also what other wheels may fit (explorer, escape, ranger???) I installed some Flex wheels on my 2013 Edge and they were a direct fit. No need for any centric hubs or anything. I believe the 2011 Explorer and newer will fit, but not sure if a wheel centric hub is needed. I got conflicting answers from several tire installers I asked. I couldn't find a wheel to actually measure the hub bore to see what size it really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
