I'm curious to see how much wider my Wagoneer is than a YJ, TJ, or XJ.
I would like a measurement of a Jeep with 33x12.5" tires on 8" wide rims with 4" backspacing or less. Measure from the outside of each tire to the opposite side of the Jeep, and please note how far the tires stick out past the fender flares.
I will get the measurements of my Jeep tonight. As it sits, my 33x12.5" tires on 8" wide rims with 3.75" backspacing are completely under the fenders.
Thanks guys.

the Dana 44 in a waggy is .5 inches on each side, so the overall width is 1 inch greater. simply factor in your offset wheels and there ya go. A waggy's wideth is not much more than a YJ, the discrepency is in the back spacing for stock wheels, stock YJ's had like 5" back spacing while the Waggy's had some where in teh area of 3.5"s

John, I was referring to the actual size of the Jeep.
I know the axles themselves are not much wider (like you said, about 1"), but the BODY is a lot wider. The Wag completely covers the 12" wide tires on 8" rims & 3.5" backspacing, whereas a YJ or TJ with the same rim backspacing will have the tires sticking out a good 2-3" on each side. Not to mention the flares stick out past the body as well. So, you're looking at (2" on each side, plus 3" of flare= 2x2= 4+ 3x2= 6) 10" wider???
My Jeep measures 76" across the front of the body. How wide is the tub on a YJ?

Some are 61 some are 65. |

a cj is exactly the size of a yj. It is 59 1/4" not including the flares. Thats just the width of the body without the flares.

Bobby, the narrow trac waggy wasdone with in the early 70's I think, I was refering simply to his waggy |

Geezus, the Wag is even wider than I thought! 76" across the width of the body compared to the 59" of a CJ, YJ, and TJ. Over 15" wider?  No wonder I have a harder time fitting through places. LOL Thanks guys. John, the narrow track is the same as my Wagoneer @ 61" . They did have Wide-trac Dana44s (65"~) in the 2-door Cherokee Chiefs along with the J-10 pickup. The J-20 was even wider. |
