stock turbines are 6.5 wide IIRC. rear axle width is narrower than front width if using a 2-wheel dolly. The whole set of specs can actually be found on wikipedia. Actual body width is 77.5 inches.

overall width from outside of the rim to outside of the rim, at least on the front, is 72 inches on a 98. Should be the same or slightly narrower on a box.
And yeah it's sort of a known thing here that they'll fit on Uhaul car dollies.
