  1. You need to look at machine shops that do industrial machining or farm and tractor machining. The machine shop that did mine did it on a lathe. I had to have the tires removed so he could clamp on to it. He just milled the lip out of the center, about 1inch deep, the depth wont matter, just grt the diameter right and you will be fine.

  2. The 2007-2010 Edge used a larger wheel hub opening of about 2.77 inches or 70.5 mm. The 2011-2013 use a smaller wheel hub opening of about 2.5 inches or 63.4 mm. You can have the centers machined out but you would be better off finding the correct wheel opening size.

     

    It is a bit easier to put the older larger wheels onto a newer Edge with the smaller openings. You would need hub centric rings of the proper size.

     

     

    He Is correct, the edge went to a smaller hub bore on the newer edges. Believe me, I learned the hard way. if you want to use them, itll cost about $200 to machine them.

  3. My old 22's are sale, they would fit your 2008 without any problem. Springs were only $260 from steeda, free installation, and a 100$ alignment afterwards. Too bad you dont live closer or Id offer to install the springs for you if you bought the wheels! lol

     

    hell I might even consider buying your old wheels if they are 17's or 18's. Id like to invest in a set of snow tires so I dont trash all my hardwork next winter.

  4. I love the fact that its lowered but ever since then i have been getting some squeking rubber from the strut isolators out side of that i really dont notice anything different other then how it looks.

     

    Id like to redesign a door panel kinda like what is in mercedes s class with a piano black peice of trim and some ambient lighting underneath..

  5. I finally got my new wheels put together and installed today....what a journey. It took me nearly 6months but i finally got them.

     

    2013 ford edge sport 22in wheels. $450 each

    Yokohama parada spec x 265-40r22 tires $260 each

    Tpms sensors $65 each

    Center caps 55$ each

     

    Having tires put together $175 ouch.....only to find out they wont fit cause the hub diameter was too small

    Having tires dissasembled $40

    Having a machine shop bore out the hubs to fit the larger diameter 160$

    Having the tires then reassembled another 175$.....

     

    So i think we are up to about 3900$. Thats a lot of dough just for wheels and tires...at least i didnt have to pay retail for the wheels $1800 each!!!!!

     

    So tell me, you think it was worth it? I think so.

     

    Couple that with h&r springs, blacked out grille....its getting closer.

     

    Next up quad HID retrofit or possible re-skinning the interior plastics with leather, red stitching and some piano black trim. I havent decided yet, i hate my seats enough to do them before the headlights. I need more cushion!!!

  6. I purchased and painted a new Grille in Flat black to better the appearance of the car. So I have this one for sale. This one came off my 2009 Ford Edge Sport and It has 35k miles on it. Nothing is broken. It does show a little sign of wear but its not real noticeable unless you really look at it.

     

     

     

    For sale on ebay I do accept Paypal!!
