Wheels


Walk-n-Edge

Recommended Posts

Someone jacked up my 07 Edge SEL(FWD) friday and stole 2 of my factory wheels. Well for the price it would cost to replace the factory 17 1/2 painted wheels. I can get a nice set of used 20" wheels from craigslist.

 

Problem is, the wheels are coming off of an 08 Chrysler Town and Country. I checked and the hub diameter is 71.5. Where as my edge is 70.6. Besides the hub being different sizes. The actual bolt pattern is the same. I'm assuming the offset will fit the Edge too. Since the Town and Country is front wheel drive too.

 

Can anyone tell me if I can get by with the hub diameter? If not, can you show me an adapter I can use? The wheels are pretty nice and I'd like to get them rather than pay the same price for 2 new 17 wheels. And yes, I will be getting wheel locks once they are on.

 

Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I've gotten help with my question. Since I could not get a definitive answer here. I called a rim/tire shop. Here's what I found and hopefully this information will help someone else with the similar question.

 

The technician told me that since the hub on the Chrysler is larger diameter than the Edge. The wheel will go on no problem providing the bolt pattern is the same. The only thing is the wheel will not be fully centered. So the weight of the vehicle will not be evenly distributed on all 5 lugs at the same time. He said it's really not an issues since a lot of cars with aftermarket wheels are like this. The only thing you will experience is a slight vibration at 60 to 70 mph. Not much in this case since it's less than an inch of diameter.

 

So providing the offset and bolt pattern are the same. If the hub diameter is slightly larger it's not much of an issue. They do make adapters you can buy. I will be purchasing some soon. Right now I'm just focusing on getting back rolling again. I hate thieves.

Sorry to hear about the theft... It is a bummer that there's not much support here.... Not much else in the way of edge sites.... So do u know where to get the adapters? I'm assuming you mean the hub centric rings.... Post a pic of the wheels you're getting..
