We bought our Edge a few years back used. The 20" factory chrome clads are pretty well beat up. And both of us are supprised how this car transmits every bump in the road. Even our old '03 Lincoln LS Sport had more compliance than this.
A neighbor of our son has 2018 Mustang wheels he is selling off for a good price, and the bolt pattern matches, although its a bit of a way to go to to see if the 17" wheel clears the front brake calipers. Backspacing looks good as the rim width. The hope is better tire compliance with a higher profile.
But the question is, has anyone put 17" rims on this generation?
Secondary question. I can pull the clad's and repaint the aluminum wheel underneight, but has anyone found a softer feeling tire in the 20" rim 50 profile for this vehicle?
