Default Designing floats

Hello,
I'm gonna design a set of floats for my 4* 40 and my rascal 40. I know that the step on the float needs to be at the center of gravity, and the float length needs to be between 34-36", but how wide should the floats be, and how far ahead of the step should the floats go. I've never designed these before, but I have designed numerous boats, the rest of the design I have no problems with, it's just width and depth.
Thanks
