sigmamason Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I have a 2011 Ford Edge Se. I found a guy selling a set of 2017 Rims from his 2017 Sport. They are 20s. Will they fit? I tried a few searches on google and found nothing. I know that the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 for the 2011 & 5x108 for the 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 You just answered your own question. The second number in the bolt pattern is the distance between the lug holes. 114.3 does not equal 108. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 they will fit as good as a square fits in the same size circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FAST4U Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 "...the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 for the 2011 & 5x108 for the 2017…" You have your answer right there… so NO they won't fit. Ford changed the bolt pattern starting with the 2015 model year…. Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikula Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 https://www.amazon.com/5x114-3-Adapters-CHANGES-Thunderbird-Continental/dp/B00HQQSTVS This just made me realize that I can score some of those and actually buy the rims I like, and just adjust the offset. Why I never thought of that, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightanium Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Maybe it just me but I would never use those on anything I own. I feel they are unsafe. Could be wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLinNBC Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Not necessarily unsafe if installed correctly but can be hard on wheel bearings as the angle of thrust is moved away from the design. Further, most certainly has a detrimental effect on handling as hanging a big weight further out messes a lot with the suspension design. And there's the added weight of the adapters. At a minimum you need adjustable rebound and dampening to compensate but that will reduce the effect, not eliminate or improve. All these factors also relate to the bigger rim trend: metal weighs a lot more than rubber and air. Going from a 21" to 22" rim has measurable effect, going from an 18" to a 24" is nuts if you care about performance and drivability. Race cars of all varieties have small rims and big rubber (sidewalls). There is a reason for this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
