"maximum width that you can be without a permit is 8' 6"" I believe this is true in Texas too but does vary from state to state. However, I will say that when you are transporting a plane down the highway it is amazing at what people notice. I moved my Diehl casting outside of the propeller slip stream to avoid the energize flow of that region. To compensate for that I laminated a 1/4" piece of plywood to the aft side of my main spar from bracket to bracket. No real engineering, I just thought the additional sheer web should be adequate. This was before I saw the spar test that Mark mentioned. If I had seen that I would never have added the plywood. Anyway the result was that my tires will no longer fit on my goose neck trailer so I had to make special ramps to get the airplane on the trailer. The ramps that were attached to the trailer had to be removed because they interfered with the new ones. No big deal, pull a cotter pin, pull the one inch steel pin for each ramp and they are off. What never crossed my mind was that the trailer license plate was mounted to the bottom of one of those ramps so that when it gets flipped up for transport you can see the plate. Long story short, not only was I over width, I didn't have a tag on my trailer at all! I got passed by a State Trooper and a local Police Officer on the way to the airport and neither one ever slowed down. I am not suggesting you do this but if you do you might just get away with it.
