I'm sure the chassis engineers that the Chassis Manufacturer Forest River uses for the Cedar Creek...most likely Lippert or Leland....use Computer Aided Design to engineer the chassis for that specific 5er.
My Jayco 5er has a mere 6" seperating the tires. There are a few brands that toyed with wide apart wheels, 18" or more...Keystone for example. Supposedly gave a more stable ride. Different trpes of suspensions would warrent the tires to be closer together or farther apart too.
If it really bugs ya call the Cedar Creek Factory in Elkhart and ask to speak to an engineer.
