RustyEdge Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I just saw a 2013 Explorer Sport with the 20" machined wheels and wow!!! I want those wheels for my Edge, they are exactly what I'm looking for. I don't know much about them yet, but was wondering if anyone saw any reasons why they wouldn't fit my '11 Edge? I attached a picture for those of you who may not have seen these yet. I'll be scouring ebay and other sites to pick up a pair of these as long as they fit!

BeDevil79 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice wheels, similar to the Edge SEL appearance package but more concave. They should fit, there's a lot of Explorers with Edge Sport 22's on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Biggest concern would be the hub bore size. Since you have a 2011 Edge, the bore on your car is the smaller one (63 mm or so if I recall correctly.) When I was checking into getting Explorer wheels for my 2013 Edge (same hub bore as yours) I never could get a direct answer as to what size hub bore the Explorer has. I even asked over on the Explorer forum and couldn't get a definite answer. Some said it was the smaller size, and others said it was a larger size (around 70 mm). If it's larger, you can always add hub centric rings to make up the size difference. If it's the smaller size, it will be a direct fit.

RustyEdge Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The spokes are a little narrower than the Edge SEL which I like. I'm definitely a fan of the black / machined look on these cars. Is there any down side to using the hub centric rings? They seem pretty simple but I have never used them before just wanted to see if there were any negatives just in case. Thanks, -Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMike Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I like them. A buddy of mine has a Ford Flex and put the 22'' Edge Sport rims on it. Looks sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
