Default JK Width Needed - People with 12.5" Tires

You folks on tires that are 12.5" wide...how wide is your JK from outside of tire to outside of tire? What backspacing do your wheels have? Spacers not needed since anything above 1/4" isn't legal in PA.

I'm going trailer shopping, so I want one wide enough to handle future plans.

Thanks!

yeah, its going to be tight, but you should fit. I have wheel spacers on my Jk and could'nt fit on the normal trailer 81”, I had to buy the Car hauler thats about 84" wide between the fenders.. the front would squeeze on, with 4.5" backspacing on the rims. I also have the spyntec kit which makes the front about 1/2" wider.

I took my JK with me and tested the trailers out.


Theres a Good thread about this on HRJA
