kixazz2529 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Just wanted to share my experience in purchasing aftermarket rims/tires for my 2011 Ford Edge Limited AWD. I was back and forth between 22" and 24" and was happy to settle on the 22"...they look very good on the car. As for tires, again back and forth between 265/35/22 and 265/40/22...I decided on the 265/40/22 as they are the stock sport rim's tire size and offer a little more sidewall although they cost a little more. Also, key thing to note for 2011's, for the hubcentric ring the inner measurement should be 63.36mm. I originally purchased 70mm as one site had listed that as the size, that is incorrect and leaves too much of a gap. Additionally, I purchased an H&R lowering kit however i was pretty surprised how the wheels and tires look on the edge with the stock springs and may actually end up not lowering it and selling or returning the H&R springs. If anyone is interested in lowering springs I will sell them before I return them to Tirerack if interested. Pictures are below....I do not yet have the Black inserts installed but once they are up I will add some pictures. Please let me know if you have any questions that I can hopefully help out with.

Cellbine Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I really like the size of the tires. Great choice! Did you upgrade from 18"ers? How does the ride feel now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Good choice KAZ, I wouldn't lower it, looks good the way it is, unless you want a little better cornering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did upgrade from the 18" stock rims and kept them for the winter. The ride really does not feel that bad at all. I think I've noticed it a bit more because of other peoples mentions of a little rougher ride but nothing at all that i can't get used to in a few days.

Cellbine Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 That's good. I'm excited to see the black inserts, I think that will take it to another level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in the H&R lowering springs as long as they will fit an 07 Edge... I believe they will and am sure I have read before that 07-12 is the same lowering spring. What size is it?? 1.75 front and 1.5 rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOYRIDER Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 What has been your difference in gas mileage, roughly? I'm interested in moving to 22's as well - Ride quality and MPG are my main holdups. You've addressed concern #1 above. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatinitup Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I believe it all depends on the type of Tire and Rim package you go with. For instance, I used TSW wheels on my Edge, 22x9 along with the Yokohoma Parada Spec-X tires and I couldn't be happier. Coming from owning vehicles in the passed, lifted 10-12" and sitting on 38" tires, I know all about ride quality and how important it is. My Rims/Tires are so smooth I don't even hear them when rolling down the road.. And its smooth as Glass. MPG hasn't been effected much! Actually, I posted a pic on another forum of my Edge about three weeks ago on a road trip with my wife. Keep the cruise control on right at 70mph and averaged 23mpg.. Thats with 22's and a Cold air intake and the air set to non circulate and not on Max A/C. Pretty damn good for rolling 22's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
