Where is the track width measured from???
I want to build a JeepSpeed/CORR/Desert Racing inspired Jeep Cherokee and I need to figure out where the factory measurements for track width come from so that I can figure out what size fiberglass flared front fenders to get (6" or 8") and so that I can match the front and rear track widths.
Does the factory measurement of 56" come from measuring from hub face to hub face (I'm assuming that's a good place. . .would be right about the center of a tires section width if the wheel doesn't have custom back spacing right?)? If not, does anyone know where the reference measurement point is from?
Along with this. . .how much width would be added to the track width from the hub face (if that is where the reference point is for track width) for a 35x12.50 tire mounted on a 10" wide wheel on the vehicle.
Thanks guys. . .I'm new to the off-roading scene so I appreciate all your help/responses!

depends on the tire and backspacing of the wheel.
stock xj axles are around 59" from wms to wms (wheel mounting surface)
and if you plan on a jumping that, i highly reccomend at least trussing the front dana30 and swapping in a stronger trussed rear as well as all necessary body stengthening.

Does anyone know what the FACTORY spec is for the track width of an XJ Cherokee?
I've seen 3 different lengths now. . .found 56" on two websites, 58" on one website and now I see 59" listed here. . .now I know that they are all pretty close, but I would really like to know what the factory lists and where they measure from.
Thanks again guys!

Dimensions
(small differences may occur depending on optional equipment or trim level)
wheelbase = 101.4"
overall length = 165.3" - 168.8"
overall width = 67.9" - 70.5"
track = 58"
height = 64"
height with roof rack = 66.8"
ground clearance (from differentials) = 7.3" - 8.3"
approach angle = 37.6* - 38*
departure angle = 31* - 32.1*
breakover angle = 21* - 21.9*
curb weight 2wd = 2,891 lbs - 2,993 lbs
curb weight 4wd = 3,057 lbs - 3,386 lbs
cargo capacity = 71.0 cu ft.
