Back in the days of the old XJ Forum somebody had a spread sheet showing both the fender flare method and the "dirty" method -- which was measurements from axle to frame or something like that. Does anyone know if that spread sheet is still available somewhere?

But the man said he has chopped his fenders, so he's looking for a datum that doesn't rely on non-existent flares for measurement.

how about someone with their stock flare give us a measurement from the bottom of the flare to top of the fender in the front,(centered over the axle of course) and to the bottom of the rear window in back. Then we just have to add the 17.5 front and 17 rear to that.

Now, if you have removed the front fenders completely, or cut above the back window, this won't help, but shouldn't be many of those out there
