Willyd,
Try this search from google

wide body site:www.airforums.com

You might find when they started making them.

From what I gather the 8'6" started sometime in the mid-90's

I was recently in a 34' wide body and the increase in space is definitely noticeable, but I couldn't talk the wife into it, because it "smelt funny."

1996 was the first year of the wide bodies.

It may have "smelt funny" because there was too much there to clean.
