Go get some of those free paint sticks at HomeDepot, measure two points that are 12.5" apart on each stick and drill holes on the points. Mount the axles to the holes, and Wha-La!

Or you can measure from leading edge of front wheel to leading edge of rear wheel.....basically
pick any two of the front and rear tire/wheel/axle points that are the same and measure distance between them.

Class 2 – Class 2.2: If a Class 2 vehicle violates any of the following requirements it must run in Class 1.
• 2.3.1 - Vehicle wheelbase is limited to a maximum of 12.5 inches. This is determined by measuring
from centerline of front axle stub to centerline of rear axle stub, with all the wheels pointing straight
ahead, with the vehicles suspension holding it's own weight.
