is it possible to run full width (14 Bolt) axles and get the same wms as CJ axles.

I found 14 Bolts are with WMS 63" avalaible but the wide Cj had only 56"
now i run 8x15 rims with bs -25mm

are so rims with ??? backspacing available and is zīthis combo possible, and may be one of you run this combo

I've seen someone run a 14 bolt with hummer rims, ending up reasonably narrow - xenon flares covered his tires. Now if you did that with cab and chassis hubs on the 14 bolt, your wms should be ~56 inches.

standard 14 bolt wms is 67
c&c is 63~64
backspacing on hummer rims is something like 7 inches.

Problem with all this is that I think the hubs will stick way out there, and getting any kind of front 60 to match for width while retaining the steering linkage in a reasonable way might be difficult.

My friend used a standard, 67 wms 14 bolt in the rear, and a full width ford dana 44 on the front, and with hummer rims his 12.5 tires were still out wider than the stock flares (on a YJ), but with xenon flares they were covered.

Hope this helps.
