XTM X-factor axles are probably your best bet for off the shelf parts... i dont know specs.. but they are pretty wide...

Stock the x-factor axles are widest, I think 14" but I'm not pulling my tires to measure. However with some faburkatin you could make mad/twin axles as wide as you wanted.

I've built Twin/Mad axles as wide as 15" before. Could go wider if needed. Just need the right length dog bone and a few extra hub carriers and your golden. Stock,Twin/Mad axles are 12" hex to hex if I remember right. It's been a LOOOOONG time since I was running stock width. | |

sounds HUGE make your own using steel tube and 1/4 buugy axles like mine- Losi aftershock diffs, Losi hyper 8 shafts,OFNA Jammin knuckles. You can get a wheel width of 16" outside to outside of tire |
