Any one know how to widen my stance to a little under this?

I've seen spacers and BS on tires but what else would I need to do?

To get a wider stance, you would need either spacers and/or a wheel with less backspacing.

The one you have pictured there has a set of bigger/wider one ton axles out of either an older Dodge or Chevy.

You know that's a full sized axle on that XJ? That's why it's that wide. I wouldn't do spacers, people will argue with me.

Get a 10x15 wheel. 3.75 backspace. Then put a 12.5" wide tire on it.

Properly installed spacers should pose no problems. I have them on my TJ w/37's with little offset. From out side of the tire to out side of the other tire is 8' and have had no problems. Been on there for 5+ years worth of some pretty hard wheelin.

And I should have added to each his own I like the wide stance because I do a lot of off camber stuff and spacers are a lot cheaper than getting wider axles.

I've got 3 3/4" bs on 15x8" wheels and am no where near that. You would have to have some serious offset and maybe even spacers to get close to that. The bearings probably aren't gonna like it though. And if it's not pretty big it's gonna look a bit odd. (But that's personal preference) Would make the drivethru's tighter too. :D
