2FAST4U Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 After searching for several months, I bought some 22' wheels for my '16 Edge while I was on vacation in Florida… I think the gold stripe on the tires fit nicely with the color of the car... Here are some pics below: Claude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 ? really nice touch. Very distinctive, unique. Makes me want to put on a set of whitewalls on my Platinum White MKX. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2FAST4U Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Eeek 2 ! Oh well, I guess "you can't please everyone!" …but I think the whitewall tire gives it a lot of class. Also, I say to myself that "as long as I like them…that's all that counts! Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mgavin1985 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 How does it ride mine is like a tank with22 wheels I put wheel spacers on and it helped a tad. What part of suspension can I upgrade to take the beating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Nice, but how does it ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FAST4U Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nice, but how does it ride? Surprisingly, it rides about the same it did with the original 20"s. The tires look like they have a low sidewall but in reality it's higher than it looks because of the whitewalls (which make the whole wheel/tire combo look bigger)…but the ride is definitely ok.

2FAST4U Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 "How does it ride mine is like a tank with22 wheels I put wheel spacers on and it helped a tad." How can adding wheel spacers make the car ride better?? I don't get it... Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FAST4U Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Eeek! Eeek 2 ! nope. Well I see you guys aren't much into anything that's custom…but it's ok, no offense taken. Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETZ Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 You have to NOT know what you're doing when you are ordering your 'ADAPTERS' (that's what they are called). Having them stick out a mile past the fender lips, and then post this dribble that the incorrect spec adapters ' helped a tad'! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Very odd guy! Find his post with the pics of his wheels/tires sticking out. Read, all the BS he posted, even admitting that he made a mistake in ordering the the wrong thickness, plus he had a machinist that would trim them down for him, or post them up here to sell.!! I hear banjo music in the background. How can adding wheel spacers make the car ride better?? I don't get it... Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSPORT Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 2FAST4U - i think the 22"'s look good. My 2010 Edge Sport came with the factory 22" rims and that is what we liked about the vehicle. My wife was the one that picked it out. I get lots of questions about whether they are after market or not and comments that they look great. Of course, replacement tires can be a bit expensive.

roots57 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 It would look a lot better IMO if you lowered it a little (H&R sport springs) and reduce that wheel well gap a bit. To me it looks so propped-up. Of course lowering it will not help the ride quality, but then again on 22" wheels with 35 sidewalls, you can't expect much in ride quality anyways.

I already had some 22's on my '11 MKX which I liked a lot and I was a little disappointed that Ford does not offer any 22" wheels for the newer generation of Edges ('15 and up) so I bought some aftermarket ones which I only use in the summer time. I still have the original 20"s with for use in the winter time. Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that but since this is my daily driven vehicle, I preferred staying with the stock suspension setup. As for the ride with the 35 series tires, you'd be surprised how good it rides not too harsh, just right (in my opinion). Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2FAST4U Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hey now, we don't want to here that around here! Some peoples daily drivers take a beating (on purpose for some, accidental for others) I take meticulously great care of my Edge. I own a car wash and during the winter, I wash it every two days and daily if needed. Yeah it's a "driver" but it doesn't mean that it's not well taken care for… I think it's meant to be driven and enjoyed, not parked and never used…and besides, I don't think it'll ever become a collector car, so might as well enjoy it!
