Tom Champagne Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Most tire/wheel sites say what fits the Edge,but in offsets from 35 to 45. I'd like to keep the new rims as close to stock as possible. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT475 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Most tire/wheel sites say what fits the Edge,but in offsets from 35 to 45. I'd like to keep the new rims as close to stock as possible. TIA Well I do not have the offset but I know rim for the EDGE 18" chrome clad has a backspacing of 5.75" whihc is the distance between the rim edge (not the lip) and the rotor interface. I measured this using a straight ruler sitting on the back edge and a caliper to measure the distance between the bottom of the ruler and the rotor interface. The rim is marked at 18x7.5". If the Offset is = Rim width /2 - Backspace, you get: 7.5"/2 - 5.75" = -2" or 50mm If I had measure the true rim width (lip to lip distance), the rim width is more like 8". So, 8"/2- 5.75"= -1.75" or 44.45mm My guess is that the offset is 45mm not 35m Marc G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07 MKX Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Lincoln, should be the same for an Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
