Hey, I have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited with stock tires of 245/60 R18, I would like to put a wider tire on it,

can a 275/55 R18 tire be put on this car?

I plugged the 175×55×18 into Tire Rack calculator and got this:

 

WE'RE SORRY

Looks like your answers narrowed the field down to zero tires available for your 2011 Ford Edge AWD.

Tirerack shows exactly 1 275/55R18 tire (it is a sport truck all-season).

 

being .3 inches taller and 1.2 inches wider, you can visualize having the tire .6 inches further out and closer to the inside, turn the wheel full lock and see.

 

I personally have not tried putting on a wider and slightly taller tire on an Edge. My 2012 Fusion is very close on width when I try to use wider rims with more backspacing, but if I was to just do tires 1.2 inches wider seems like it would fit (I used foam board attached to the tires and turned the steering full both ways, and tried compressing the suspension).

Yea, I seen that tire, but TireRack didn't recommend it. I'd look closely as it could turn out to be noisy or ride hard. (This tire has no competition).
