firemanmfd Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I have a 2011 ford edge limited and would like to get the sport 22" rims. Will my limited handle these tires? Also will gas mileage suffer? Figured someone here has made the switch..thanks everyone Edited August 19, 2013 by firemanmfd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 My understanding is that the bolt pattern is the same so there shouldn't be a fit issue. Your mileage will decrease slightly (as will off the line performance) due to the increased force necessary to get your momentum going on the bigger rims but it shouldn't be much. Also, your speedometer will be a slightly off and may need adjusted (not sure if any tuners exist or if the dealer would have to do this) due to the increased overall size of the new rims/tires versus your old one. If you previously had 20s it'll be a little off but if you have 18s it could vary a few MPH+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Because of the way Ford has selected the tire sizes from the factory, the 20 and 18 inch wheels are almost identical regarding speedometer readout, revolutions per mile, and height. There is hardy any noticeable difference between the factory 20 and 18 inch wheel/tire combination. To see what the differences are stepping up to a 22 inch wheel, use this tire calculator. Input the proper size tires or other optional sizes to see the differences. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator Don't forget that since you have a 2011 model, your hub wheel opening is smaller than the 2010 and older models. You can put those wheels on if you use the proper hub centric rings that are available. 2011 and newer models will be a direct fit. Bolt patterns on all years are the same.

Matt Lalande Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Did you do this and did it work out? I just posted a similar question. Could you post a pic of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Dont forget that Ford uses a stiffer spring on the the Sport suspension. This helps with all the extra weight these wheels push upon rebound. Your ride comfort may suffer a little. Figure on dropping 2-3MPG from 18's. Thats what I gained riding on 18's.

Matt Lalande Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Good point. I bought my limited today and I am doing the research on this. I might stick with finding the 20" tuxedos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
