Upgrade Axles

[Trigger-Rubi]

Investigating axle upgrades. First question I want to answer is what width.
I like overall width currently WMS stock @ 68”, 9” wheel, -12 offset for an overall 78”.
So I wish to improve scrub radius and tuck brake caliper inside the wheel better.
New axle maybe WMS 72” which requires a wheel with around +25 offset.
Looking for beadlock wheels positive offset are rare and I like to have options.
Am I hoping for to much here?

I run a 72.5" wide axle with Raceline Beadlocks (4.5" BS) The caliper and ball joints are well protected. They're not deep into the wheel, but with that wide of an axle, you could do a 5" BS wheel and be OK. Everything suspension related would be well out of the way.

Fusion Axles will build the axle in custom lengths. I just put on a 60 semi float that is the same width as the stock Rubicon.
