honestly I would bet a 16x 8.5 would hold them

an 18 would be OK (but I think the next COMMON size up will be a 20x8.5)

that is what my race trailer is and I know the 16 was the next size down from Haulmark when I was looking

yea the 20' seems like the best of both worlds, big enough to haul them and your gear and small enough to pull with a 1500 series truck. Teflon

Look at the Logan Silver Eagle trailer....I bought the 14' model....price was higher than other brands, but after seeing it in person I am glad I spent the extra money with the Logan...

20' forsure,,,,,,, you can also use it for a small car like a mustang. And it will give you a little room for gear,tents,chairs, etc. 18' IMHO would be the min you could go. If you have the truck and the budget I would go up to a 24'.
I got myself a 20' pace back in the day for racing mx and wish i would of gotten a 24' just for the fact of hauling about any size car.

Tell me about it. I guess I should hook up some some snow chains on the King with our 7 inches of snow on the ground. God what a puss I am.
