2008 Ford Edge Limited rim help

Recommended Posts

I need some help trying to find out what these specific rims are. Currently the rims I have attached a picture of are on the vehicle. These are the rims that were on there when I bought it. It's a 2008 Ford edge limited awd which normally come with 18inch rims stock. However, these specific ones are 20inch and I cannot figure out what they are. I bought rims and tires from a shop saying they came off a limited 2008, but once they tried to mount them the brakes were too large to fit inside the rim so would require spacers. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Lets see if I can attach a small image from the order guide, your image is not showing up (first post thing like most boards?)

 

These are the 2 offered wheels for the 2008 Limited (the standard 18 inch and optional 20 inch):

I have the 20" premium wheels on my 2009 mkx and they fit perfectly.

 

If your wheels don't match either of the ones @dabangsta posted, attach a photo and maybe we can help.

Does anybody know where I can buy the chrome cadding for the 20" rim?

The plastic chrome wheel applique is not sold separately from the aluminum rim assembly...

If you'd consider a used wheel, Car-Part.com's search feature allows designating a region, state, or major city and a zip code to provide distance-to-seller sorting of salvage vehicles with the desired Edge/MKX wheels...

Good luck!

@chilli34 

What have you done so far? Based on your original posting, it appears that the wheels you bought were aftermarket. If so, only the original dealer can help. 

 

But it they're OEM, there's no reason that they shouldn't fit. After all, 20" was an optional size for 2008 MKX.

As for replacing just to chrome covers, there was some discussion here a few years ago. One or two had doen it. However i haven't seen these replacment covers offered for some time. (And they were a tad expensive). Removing the existing covers was the real problem. They were glued on and a bitch to pry off. (There was a YouTube video showing how to do this. Lost the link however).

 

If your problem is road rash, there's a couple of repairs you can do that work well.

1. Cover the rash areas with pieces of chrome tape.

Ans 2. Spray the rash areas with chrome enamel (my choice). Use several light coats.
