I would say the "Edge" package is an 'appearance' package. Mine is a base Single cab XL, vinyl floors, manual window, black toe hooks, 5 spd, No thrills, No frills 3.0. Oxford white with color matched bumpers and the honeycomb grill is black.

That Ranger in the picture has "all" the Edge stuff, but not color matched bumpers to the truck and that honeycomb grill is gray, not black. To me, that's the difference in "Sport" vs "Edge"
Ditto in gun metal gray.

Mine would not fit on my 94 with locking hubs.

Even punching out the logo... the bore for the logo is considerably smaller then the hub.
You can drill them out with a hole saw from the back side and then they will fit just fine. I'm not sure what size hole saw offhand but there is one that just barely fits inside from the rear - I have done that on several sets of those exact wheels.

Yeah... there was a guy on here that also used a router with a wood bit to make them fit.

But I will stick to my original answer that they don't fit.

They can however be modified to fit.

Wish I'd have thought of that. I rather like the OP style of wheel.

I would use a torch on the steel chevy wheels to put them on my isuzu trooper because the hub was so much larger. Took like 1/2 an inch all the way around the middle and could out 33s on my trooper with the steelies
