Main tire spacing

Does anyone know the center to center spacing of the main gear on an RV6 (when loaded)? I'm not seeing it in the archives under any search I've tried...

I saw this on a document just yesterday but damned if I can find it again for you today. What I can tell you from experience is that its almost exctly the same as a Cessna 180. I had to put an RV-6 into a farm shed one time and the wheels rolled into the same channels in the dirt that had been left by the owners old C180. I was very surprised... I'd have sworn the RV was narrower. If it is narrower its not by much.
