So I changed my super single tires on my trailer to doubles & they are a couple of inches sticking out from trailer. Anyone know what I have to do in order to fix this ? ♂️

I'm no trailer expert but I would say your hubs are offset specifically for singles. Most likely changing hubs would be needed. I would contact the trailer manufacturer. Might cost more than its worth, if its even possible.
Looks cool........but not legal. -
You need narrower trailer axles, axles were designed for wide base wheels. Bummer.

Whoever came up with these super singles needs smacked up side their head! Those things are a death wish. Went from duals to super singles one time and had a mini heart attack during every single turn on interstate. They had a negative offset I guess and set inward 2-3” on both sides so I lost a ton of stability. Needless to say, they didn’t last very long on my rig.

As for the stability, I hear they do sell super single wheels with a 2-inch offset. -
Cant put duels on some of the newer trailers the whole sider is wider
PE_T Thanks this. -
We also use them for the weight savings... 400# per axle -
Put some rubber extensions around the top lip of trailer first , instead of changing everything out.
