What are buggys running outside of tire to tire? I am just looking for an avg width, I know they are all different.

We're VERY wide at 79"

Many are running around 74"

The smallest are down in the upper 60's"

Just depends on your CG, body width, suspension, and driving style.

Kinda depends on what kind of buggy you're talking about, my last one was 92" on the front axle and I know of a buggy that is over 10'.

I know he didn't say it in particular, but I'm assuming since this is in the Comp forum that he's asking about comp buggy width. Like Dustin said it depends on some other factors how skinny you can go, but anything above 80" and you're giving yourself a disadvantage

yes on the total width. I decides not to go with that width due to seeing something similar and it not working what-so-ever.
