Sprocket2324 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have a 2013 Edge Limited AWD with 20" rims and P245/50/R20 tires. I want to put steel rims on with winter tires but dont want to use 20" rims. Can I use a 17" or 18" rim? If so what size tires do I need with each?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Tirerack.com will point you in the right direction as far as wheels/tires for winter. I don't change the setup for the winter, running OEM 18" wheels with Nitto tires. Works fine for me, but then we don't experience deep winters here (usually).

If you put in 2013 Edge SE or SEL at tirerack.com that should give you the OEM sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB70 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 The local Tandem Tire store just checked this out for my 2014 Edge Limited AWD with 20" wheels. The wheel and winter tire package from my Taurus fits the Edge perfectly. That package consists of 17" Ultra Slalom wheels and Nitto SN tires in 225R/65-17 tire size. There is no problem with brake caliper clearance. The bolt pattern and offset are correct. We stood the OEM and winter tires next to each other to compare the height. The winter tire size is slightly shorter but these tires have three winter seasons on them. The OEM 20" tires have less than 2,000 miles of use. According to the documentation from Nitto there is less than 1% of an inch in diameter when comparing new to new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykanuck Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I Have the same vehicle as you. I put 17" edge sel rims on as I didn't want to have to worry about offset and Center rings. Found a pair for cheap (550 shipped) from eBay. The tires are blizzaks that were once on my trailblazer SS, no rubbing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 For my MKX with 20" wheels, I have 18" winter wheels + Blizzaks. Works great. Tirerack confirmed the fit. I got mine from Belle Tire in Dertoit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
