That was one of the things I was doing the day my grandson knocked the XJ off of the floor jack when I was under it putting jack stands under the rear of it from one side.


One of those things broken R. hip, thigh, leg below knee, 3 broken ribs and a few other little things. Takes a little longer to heal up when you get older and had other sit backs during all this.

Yes you don't know how bad, been beat-up and so called disabled since 1979 when a car ran over me while standing beside one of my tow trucks and then dragged me 170' under it a VW. They told me I would never work again but I did and walked out of the hospital after a couple of months. But I did just worked with pain all the time.


But this wheelchair BS is killing me and not walking so far. I bought a used Power chair last week and it should at least let me get through the gravel driveway to my race car shop building and do at least a few things on the XJ from the chair, I hope. Then pray for no more setbacks.

32x11.5r15 on 15x8 rims. 3.75" backspacing should give you about 1.5 inches out from the fender. You could possibly get a 12.5 inch wide tire on there at this backspacing. Personally I love the stance of my setup and wouldn't change it.
