bboytails Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I have a 2011 Edge Sport with the 22's and I'm looking for winter/road trip wheels. Does anyone know if 2015 18" OEM Explorer wheels will fit? The Explorer wheels measure the same as 18" SE and SEL wheels (18x8, Bolt pattern is 5x4.5" [5x114.3mm], Tires are P245/60R18). I'm just not sure if the Sport's calipers or anything like that will be a hindrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I am not sure about the 18" Explorer wheels, but I tried the 20" Explorer Limited Wheels (polished) & they rubbed against the brake calipers on my 2011 MKX (similar to your Edge).

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Any idea if a spacer would resolve the rubbing issue, omar302? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Omar, a spacer would definitely eliminate your rubbing issue. I have the 20" Explorer sport wheels on my '11 currently with a 3mm spacer upfront to stop the rubbing. The rear's are fine and don't rub so you can get away with one pair. -Russ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
