Gonna be building a car hauler, but I need the axle length and there are a few different "standard" axle lengths. How wide is the average car trailer?

The choices for axles are:

85" hub face and 70" spring perch center mounts for a 72" wide trailer frame.
89" hub face and 74" spring perch center mounts for a 76" wide trailer frame.
91" hub face and 76" spring perch center mounts for a 78" wide trailer frame.
95" hub face and 80" spring perch center mounts for an 82" wide trailer frame.

Thanks-Dan

Most of them I've looked at recently are advertised 82" (102" overall) between fenders. Don't know if that helps you. I would make it as wide as possible because there's nothing I hate more than driving a car on a trailer and crawling out the window. You may also want to check state laws on legal width and go as reasonably close to that as you want.
