I tend to have about an inch of rubber on either side of them. I just like them for their weight.

If you ever come back with a Jeep, you should check out the OHV trail they made in Lakeside(WildBill trail)... By Polson. It is non-stop obstacles.. some of which only a buggy can do. It is still a work in progress.. About 40-50 miles of trails.(120 in the works) I have damaged my rig there more than anywhere else haha. Its somewhat unique in that its a partnership WITH the forest service (The famed Holy Cross trail in CO is another) so there has to be a 9' bypass around the hard stuff.

The wife and I plan on a trip up that way in the Motor Home but in the summer and I wanted to take the XJ but she insisted on the WJ because of more comfort when the MH is parked and driving around sightseeing lol.

4.5-1.25=3.25" backspacing I believe.
