You won’t have any issues swapping wheels or even rotating the tires. Mine have been on/off, new tires and moved around at least 20 times.

The TPMS sensors showed up Saturday. I have an appointment for the Tire Rack mobile tire installer truck on Wednesday at 3PM. I now have everything I need, just need to get them mounted. For now here is some pics

Tire Porn! I've had good luck with Continentals in the past.

Nice tire! I ran some Continental summer only tires on my CTS-V for a year. They were pretty good and sticky, not great in wet, with minimal mileage......did I mention they were good and sticky :) I'm curious how you like them.

They came and mounted and balanced my tires today.

I have 1.25" front and 1.5" rear bora spacers and they give just the right amount of poke.

Do some research, they fit great!

You’re the one that needs to do research. You don’t have an Explorer ST which is what this group is for. You have an older model…so the hub works. Those wheels won’t bolt up to an Explorer ST without modification.
Basically…you’re in the wrong group.

If I remember correctly, the Edge Sport wheels have a different lug stud pitch/diamater, they may be 1/2" vs. 14mm studs and a different bolt pattern than the STs. I think Edge wheels are the same fitment as the 15-19 Explorers.

Just to clear up a few misconceptions, the first gen Edge had a 5x114.3 pattern and a 70.5 hub bore up to 2009. The 1.5 gen, 2010 to 2014 used the same 5x114.3 pattern but went to a smaller 63.4 hub bore, they both used 1/2" wheels studs. In 2015 the all new 2 gen edge came out with a new smaller 5x108 bolt pattern and now uses the larger 14mm studs. These wheels will not work without major rework.

The Explorers have always used the 5x114.3 lug pattern, from the original in 1991 all the way up to 2025. the hub bore has changed over the years, the 3rd and 4th gens 2002 to 2010 used a 70.5 bore. In 2011 when the new 5th gen FWD ex came out they went to a smaller 63.4 hub bore. The all new 6th gen 2020 to 2025 went back to the 70.5 hub bore. All explorers from 91 to 2019 used a 1/2 wheel stud, in 2020 they changed to a 14mm stud.
