Dual tires of a C&C will NOT fit under a regular bed!!!

Well I thought I had figured out how I was gonna configure my C&C but I was wrong. I bought a parts truck for the good long bed and stripped it. I did some measuring today and found that there is no way no how to get the dual rear tire under a regular bed. Wheel well is 80 inches and tires are 82-3 outside to outside, inner tubs are 49 inches and tires are 47 inside to inside so it aint happening without changing both sides of the wheel area.

So now back to the drawing board, change hubs, drums and backing plates and go with a dually bed?

Anyone familiar with super singles? I figure I can get the proper offset wide rim and run a single wide tire on it to make if look right and fit?

Oh well, any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Kevin
