How wide is my rear axle?

97 XJ 8.25 rear, how wide is it WMS(Wheel mount surface) to WMS? Is it 60"? That number rings a bell for me.

I searched here and with google and I cant find it, but I know its out there because I've found it before.

I'm making wheel spacer/adapters for the Isuzu D44 I got. The Isuzu is 58" WMS to WMS on a side note.
 
Ive read 60" and 60.5" WMS. If it wasn't pouring I would go measure for ya.
 
60.5", isn't the bolt pattern different? If it is you might be better off making an adapter instead of a spacer.

Yes it is 6x5.5, and the spacer/adapters will bring the axle to width and 5x4.5. So it looks like I'll be making them 1.25" thick if I need to go from 58" to 60.5"
