Narrow Runways

I think 35' was the narrowest. My comfort level depends on the wind, etc.
In calm conditions, I'd be comfortable with 10'.

Methinks you exaggerate a tad?

What's the wheelbase of your plane?

Me agrees! The wheel span of mine is (I think) 11' 4".

May be a highwing/lowwing thing. My wheelbase is 6'. I'd do 10'.

Again, it's not as hard as it seems when you have to do it.

Weiser KEQY in Houston is 40' which seems narrower. An acquaintance of mine
put his Navajo in there due to poor preflight planning - think he scared
himself. Sold it not long after.

You may have me here. I was thinking about the Skylane I used to own.
I think it's track was less than 10', but a quick internet search just
now failed to find a site that listed this dimension.

I currently fly a club Arrow and its gear likely is more than 10' wide
as it at least looks a fair bit wider than the Skylane was.

So, I'll rephrase my answer to be: track + 2' in calm conditions. :-)
