JLBlazin00 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ok so I wanna put a set of Mach M7s on my lady's 2013 Limited any help with offset and overall wheel width 20x8.5 or 20x9.5 and expecially the offset any advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.N. Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 With 8.5s I wouldn't go with any offset higher than 45 and with 9.5, 35mm would be the highest. I would go with a 8.5 and 35mm offset, it will only be 2.3mm closer to the brakes/suspension and give a nice poke of 10.4mm .

Anyone here has an idea or experience on it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I still have the "stock" setup, so I don't know directly about the Edge. But the basics remain the same. Keep the wheel/tire combo height the same to retain speedometer/odometer accuracy (and OEM navigation, if you have it). Lighter wheels will mean less rolling resistance, and better mileage/acceleration, but also possibly less "shock" absorption, unless the wheel is smaller and you put on a tire with more sidewall. Don't go smaller than the smallest OEM wheel size, so you retain brake clearance. Have you narrowed down your choices for new wheels? Are these going to be full-time, year round, or are you considering a winter set/non-winter set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, tires can affect mpg. On my old Fusion I lost 1-2 mpg at least going to cheaper softer tires with more rolling resistance compared to the stock michelins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maliken Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sorry for the late reply. Is it a good idea to have a new set of wheels for all season? I might gonna use all season tires for winter here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 If weather gets bad, and you can afford the $ and space for a separate winter setup, by all means do so! Tire diameter may be limited though, at least on TireRack I have not seen > 19" (?) offered. And you may save on a wheel/tire package as well. Overall tire/wheel height should be the same as your non-winter setup or your speedometer/odometer will be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
