I think you could get away with just using maybe 3" wheel spacers and get 46" real east and be OK for a trails type 2 seater fine. I assume you meant 40" stock outside of tire to outside of tire?

A two seater for kids or adults?  I usually plan on 18-20" of hip room and I'm not that big of a guy.  That's also for a single seater.  You put two people side by side and you need elbow room too.

The differential is offset to the left side and has a short axle tube and a long axle tube. What I have in mind is to shorten long tube and axle the same as the short tube and axle. Then center the diff. which will offset the engine some but that will give me room for a battery or something beside engine. After centering the diff. with the short axles, would it be possible to use a CV jointed axles and attach it to the short axles on the diff.? This would give me the width on the wheelbase I would want for my buggy. I think I made this as clear as mud.

You COULD do that but you will severely limit the amount of suspension travel.
