Tiger avon on a trailer

Can someone please tell me the size of a finnished Avon. I'm buying a ifor Williams flatbed trailer and it might as well be one that a Avon fits on. Could do with knowing the width of the wheel centres and the length of the centres please.

Thanks for that but 14' is too big. I was hoping that the wheels would fit on a 10 x 5 or 10 x 6. I don't mind if it overhangs at the front or back.

Hi
We have an MK Indy which fits ok on our BJ Micomax trailer 10 ft X 5ft9inches
I think the Indy is a bit larger.
Trailer also fits in a std garage
See picts in our archive.
good luck.
