How wide is a JK

[schwalby]

I've looked online all over and all I can find is the body width. Need to know total width from outside of wheel to outside of wheel.

It is going to vary a little bit, the track width is 61.9", track is the center of the tire to center of the other one. Add in the width of the tire (only one since half is sticking beyond the center on each side) and you'll be around 72" for a stock Rubicon (255/75/17). That jives with the max body width of 73.7".

Obviously, that goes out the window with aftermarket wheels and tires.

Looking at some trailers and want to make sure there is enough room between wheel wells or if they will have to be reinforced. I doubt I would ever have a Jeep that would need to drive over the wheel wells of a trailer but want to make sure.

That is what I figured, knowing that you were looking at trailers and all that.

Axles are 65" WMS -> WMS. Total width will depend on tire width and wheel backspacing. My JK on stock axles, with 4.5" backspacing and 35x12.50's ended up at just a bit less than 80" IIRC. Most standard flat bed trailers have 82" between the fenders.

The two trailers I am looking at are 83" and 78" between wheel wells. Not sure why one is smaller. They are both enclosed trailers first one being a 7K trailer and second being a 10K. Guessing the heavier weight axles are just smaller.

I think what I will just end up doing is having them reinforce the fenders and then I can make up some movable ramps so the Jeep will get up and over easier. Don't want to fight with doing that if I have to winch it in. Or someone else's Jeep.
