Snafuflux Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've been scouring the forum for a definite answer regarding obtaining snow rims/tires for the winter months. This is our first winter with our '13 Limited and my wife will be carting around our new born so I want to ensure they're safe throughout the winter months. I also know the smallest wheel possible is optimal in deep snow. I've found lots of people report that 17" will fit on all '13 Edges except the Sport due to larger brake callipers. Now I've gone to several tire companies locally and they all are worried that the 17" rim will not fit because our Edge has the 20" package. Even Ford was telling me not to go 17". When I said that I thought only the Sport had bigger callipers he got defensive and said "Alright if you know best."; made me question if I did... So here I am. Does anyone know of a way that I can tell if indeed the 235/65R17 rim/tires will fit on our Limited? Or would anyone be willing to provide additional information confirming or disproving my thought that the suggested sized rim/tires will fit? Your help is much appreciated.

akirby Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Tirerack thinks 17" wheels will fit a 2013 Edge Limited and they're usually correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafuflux Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yah agreed! I saw that too and thought it was a good option until Ford pushed back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Did Ford say that or was it a dealership employee? There is a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafuflux Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I called parts and they asked for the size of the wheel. I gave them the 17" specs. he then asked which vehicle and I said the limited with 20" option. he immediately said no I don't suggest this.

omar302 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 If you check any spare parts website, the front rotors are the same for all models of the Edge (2011-2014). So if 17" wheels fit on the Edge SE, they should fit the Limited & even Sport models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafuflux Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Even this neat little tool indicates that 17" should fit: http://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/edge/2013/ I'll move forward with trying to find the correct wheels and tires to fit. From what I see here I want 17" with 7.5" width and bolt pattern of 5X114.3, Maybe I'll go to a local performance shop rather than Canadian Tire and see if they'll carry what I'm looking for.

XB70 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 The 17" wheels with winter tires mounted fit my 2014 Edge just fine. AWD and all winter tires at every corner really gets around in the slippery stuff quite well. In a couple of weeks I'll switch from the 20" Scorpions to the winter setup. It changes the look of the Edge a lot. But it's only for the winter and the difference in traction is incredible. If you like I'll post some photos and get the tire size info for you.

Nexus Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I also have the 20" package and I've been using 17" for two winters now without an issue. I believe they are what you quoted above 235/65/17. They work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I had a 2013 and the winter safety package form Ford was 17" Had, past tense, as i just traded it in for a 2016 i have pictures of the 17" rims & tires posted on this forum classifieds here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
