Think mine is 6' wide. Scotties back axle (full float and 15x10s with 33" tyres) will be about 6'4"

That's too wide for the width rims, you'll eat wheel bearings and fall into landrover ruts, be more likely to bend your axles plus your front discs will be directly in harms way.

I personally would not run flipped rims with spacers.

Pretty sure mine was 5'5" before the full float so with the extra 3" it's not 5'8" and It's too wide for the height really, would rather it be 5'5" :lol:
