I think the widths are the same for Edsels and Fords, but the bolt pattern is different on Edsels unless
you get a rear end from an Edsel station wagon. Edsels used 5x5 while Fords and Edsel wagons used
4x4.5 wheel pattern.

 I meant 5x4.5 for the Ford bolt pattern. Mercury also used the larger bolt pattern.
