Ooof yea hopefully you have a full flat bed (no fender wells, or at least very low fender wells).

My 1 chassis I have here (No body but add 1.5" to each side I'd say and only single wheels installed on the rear dually axle)
Front wheel width at the tires: 78"
Front wheel width at the lugs: 84"
Rear wheel width at the tires: ~88" (maybe someone else can confirm this)

Like I said my rear axle only has 2 wheels on it which helped to narrow it greatly and helped with loading on my regular car hauler trailer. My other truck I had to hire out to a guy with a winch and a hydraulic flat bed. The width wasn't the biggest concern there, it was more of the weight.
