Wit dem white walls, and body color wheel trim...dats for sure 'mon amie'. Lol

22's!

On a heavy SUV, I would not go to a 35 AR tire, certainly NOT a 30 which are meant for performance cars, not SUV's. Plus, the lower the AR (sidewall), the bigger the tire/ fender gap, so unless you would put lowering springs on your car to close the gap it will look odd. Bent rims are in your future on pot holed roads.

The Rascasse, Monaco...too busy, too many spokes, pain in the butt to clean. Out of the three, Monaco is my choice, but not in black.

The body coloured stripes... AND the whitewalls.

After you get the rust issue addressed, I would take it to 'Krown' for piece of mind. frank

Buddy, you are funny! But here is what YOU said in our conversations... "I started at 17 mm, and ordered, then called back next day to switch to 30mm (1.18") I'm NOT looking for the big wheel truck look, and hope it's not a mistake." "If too big, and rub, I can have them Cnc machined, but would be learning lesson." "Or they will be in the classified section on here we will see they may cause problem for the 22 with the offset they have. I saw a pic of a guy with 2 inch spacers on one of these forum, and it looked goofy." "I don't think I'll have a problem in full lock, but I did order them a tad too big, 20mm, or 25mm would have worked". "All I can say is if I was interested in your opinion, I would have asked you for it. It worked out well for me exactly what was intended..." Tried to help the guy, didn't say anything he didn't say himself...LOL

Well it's your car, but sorry to say it doesn't look so good with the wheels sticking out a mile. I would order the 'correct ones'. I could not live with it looking like that. You did say you don't want that big truck look!

So, what's the word? Are you ordering new adapters?

'but I did order them a tad to big 20 mm or 25 mm would have worked ' Hmmm...where did I hear that before, 'measure twice, cut once.

Lol 'Spacers' are just that, different thickness of discs to let you make adjustments (up to I believe 3/8"). Then any thicker needs become 'Adapters' with the built in studs. No it didn't change the bolt pattern, but it could ie. putting Chevie wheels on Fords and so on. Go back on the WS from where you ordered, 'Adapters' is the Terminology frank.

Are 'adapters' illegal in your state? Do they remove the wheels for the inspection? If so, they would notice that the studs are 'short'.

I've had my 'ADAPTERS', not ('spacers') lol on since last June, then installed my 22's. The next week I had 'Hunter Hawkeye Elite Laser Alignment'. The reason I mention this is that Old School alignment method involved mounting the alignment adapters to the wheels by four clamping mounting points, and always left four damaged marks on the wheels. When they are the stock wheels, it bothers me. When they are expensive aftermarket wheels it would really piss me off. The new systems clamp to the tires, and no problem. I have not noticed any issues, and plan on getting car aligned, wheels rebalanced when I swap the wheels in the spring. Wheel bearing can be an issue also, so far so good.

The stock wheels sit in so far, that's why I got them, I run them year round. I never planned to take them off, but I would not be comfortable with running my stock wheels over the winter on short studs. Red Loctite, didn't have any blue...and I didn't want to spend the big bucks! Lol frank

As I tried to explain to you, Explorers are wider than an Edge, that why I chose the .75" width for the front, and 1.0" for the rear. Your wheels are pretty well flush, so by going 30mm, they are defiently going to stick out, especially on the front, and may even rub in full lock. Plus throw up road debris! Why you went with adapters is beyond me, especially 30mm! Yes, sorry, but I think you did make a mistake. Can't recall the exact measurements F/R, but as you can see in the pic a little less flush than the adapter, so that the wheel hub, and adapter make a clean seal. Torque to 100fp. Yes I used Loctite. Drive 100 miles, and re-torque all nuts.

...also You will most likely have to cut you stock studs flush with the ADAPTERS so that you wheels will seat with the ADAPTERS!

I'm kinda of surprised, that you're doing your research NOW! 30 mm 'ADAPTERS' will be too wide, especially on the front, and make your wheels stick out past the lip, unless you like that kind thing. Are you putting different wheels on, or staying with the stockers? I have 3/4", and 1.0" ADAPTERS on my Explorer Limited, with 22" Edge Sport wheels on 285/40 tires. I also got them from the same shop. I'm sure you dealt with 'Lenny', and surprised he didn't give you some better advice. My Ex is wider than an Edge, that's why I got my adapters to bring the wheel/tire flush withe the fender lip. Your stock wheels are pretty flush, so my question is why are you getting them, why so wide? frank

I agree, 'Pimp my ride'... How bout this? LOL

96 LBS? CF wheels? Not buying that weight reduction. Let's see the facts/figures. Just for fun, I went to 'Tirerack' and input my Hankook 255/50/20 stockers on my Explorer LTD -35LBS. Then I input Yokohama 'Parada Spec' 265/40/22 -35LBS! So the 'after market' wheels you got must be 'styrofoam'.!!!

lol I'm not sure that this 'thing' has CC's!

On an Edge for sure!

Look great!

You will look cheap...and cheesy. I laugh everytime I see them. Paint/powdercoat them.

I guess your nephew found ' the only pot hole in town'. Come on, pot holes everywhere, especially in 'rust belt' areas, and because of crazy fluctuations in winter temp is causing the pot hole issue. We have plenty in Toronto! That, plus the lower aspect ratio tires '40' for the Sport, and probably 35, or 30 for the Bimmer are magnets for finding pot holes. Bigger wheels have to go with lower 'AR' tires so they will even fit on the vehicle. Can you imagine a '265/75/22', lots of cushion there, but very tall (don't think they even make this size in a 22. Lower 'AR' tire are for better handling especially in sporty cars. The shorter the side wall, the faster the tire reaction time. I run 30/25's on my Vette, and drive with ' eyes wide open' wary of pot holes. Big wheels with short tires look better, but there are the trade off's...
