greeneye150 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) im trying to find the optional rim sizes that ford provides on this car. from what ive seen, the sel, the se, and the sport all have different rim sizes from 18x8(my default size) up to 20 inch, yet they appear to have the same clearance and suspensions. i am looking at some options to buy ford oem black chrome rims in 19 inch from the fusion and/or explorer but im not sure they will fit or cause any issues with the awd, being this car comes with so many different rim sizes im thinking physically they will fit but not sure if ford changes anything in the ecu from se, to sel, to sport. i hope i explained myself well and hope there is someone here that knows a bit more about this stuff than i do, thanks in advance Edited July 30, 2016 by greeneye150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 You can find the info in this previous post http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/20361-what-tires-came-on-your-edge-from-the-factory/ Also, the bolt pattern is 5x108 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 2015 comes in 18-21" sizes. As long as the diameter is good the car will work and awd is fine. Example: 265/40/21 is the same as 245/50/20. Same as 245/55/19 and 245/60/18. Make sure the brakes clear which should not be too hard as they aren't very fancy. Bolt pattern is 5x108 as mentioned above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneye150 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 thanks a lot guys. i have the stock rims in 18 that come with the SE but im in love with those chrome black ford oems and i think i would get some benefit from upsizing to 19 or 20 in addition to looking better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Bigger wheels generally add weight so you actually lose performance in braking, turning, accelerating. Assuming the tires are the same, you can get performance tires but the mpg hit will certainly still be there, it won't be huge but probably big enough to measure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 All else considered, tires rated for low rolling resistance will deliver better mpg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Explorer will not fit as a direct swap. Different bolt patterns but the fusion will 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Can be like me and spend $2300 on a set of super light weight 20s with summer tires. Now I can run 13.5 in 1/4 with less than optimal conditions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
