2015 18" wheel on 2018 Sport?

I'm pretty sure this will be OK, but will stock 2015 18" wheels fit on 2018 Sport?

I know diameter and bolt pattern are fine, but what about caliper clearance? Hub diameter the same?

 

I found a set of OE wheels for decent price that I'd like to get some winter tires mounted, but obviously want to make sure clearances are good before buying.

According to Wheel-Size.com, the 2015/2018 bolt circles (5 x 108 mm / 5 x 4.5 in), center bores (63.4 mm), and stud sizes (M14 x 1.5) are identical.

 

The following tire dimension & speedometer error comparisons are from TireSize.com (click on image to enlarge and/or save)...

Good luck!

Thanks for that info. My Sport has the optional 21's.

The one thing I'm trying to confirm is if there are an interference issues with the brakes/calipers.

I don't think there are, but I'd hate to buy them and find out they don't fit.

 

I also found a set of used Blizzaks for a good price.

I could be all in on a winter set for ~$800.

That would also stretch my current OE tires out a good 5 years since I have 2 other summer vehicles that get the miles for ~6 months out of the year.

Embarking upon further research, from a prominent vehicle sales website I obtained VINs for a 2015 SEL with 18s and for a 2018 Sport with 20s. 

 

Next, I pulled Historic Vehicle Bill of Materials (HVBoM) Reports for each VIN to obtain part numbers for brake rotors and brake calipers installed on each vehicle.

 

In addition to the original part numbers, HVBoM Reports often provide Motorcraft service replacement part references, in this case, for the brake rotors.

 

Both Edges show Motorcraft BRRF364 vented brake rotors for the fronts and Motorcraft BRRF393 solid brake rotors for the rears.

 

Both Edges show front brake caliper part numbers as F2GC2010 (RH) and F2GC2011 (LH), with NC suffix (2015) and NF suffix (2018); and rear brake caliper part numbers DG9C2D250 (RH) and DG9C2D251 (LH), with GD suffix (2015) and GG suffix (2018).

 

For visual reference of caliper-to-rim clearance, the following are images of the Edges from the vehicle sales website..

Good luck!

Just to close this one out, yes, the 18" wheel from 2015 fits a 2018 sport.

I bought wheels and checked one of them on the front, 'miles' of clearance.

 

As Haz mentioned, pretty sure the brakes on all gen 2 AWD models are the same.

 

I also picked up some Blizzaks, now just need to pick up my TPMS sensors and get everything installed.
