It can be easily done by increasing the width of wrapper, sidebars. Thats the perfect process. But your code is somewhat busy, for which i can't see it clearly that I can tell you the exact thing to do. So if you can give me the theme, I can work it out for you.
Yes you have to make sure everything fits inside the wrapper DIV. So make sure Right Sidebar Width + Left Sidebar Width + Content Width = Wrapper Width and remember width = specified width + any left or right padding + any left or right margin + any left or right border
