Default Landing gear help

OK, I have all the all the proportions done and the fuse is built and the wing cores have been cut. The plane has a wingspan of 150 inches, and I have read some info on this forums that the landing gear has to be 25 % of the wingspan. That would mean 37.5 inches between the wheels. the problem being that I can`t get a landing gear that size down here so... would it be impossible to handle the plane with a 27 inch landing gear? The fuse is 106 inches including the engine and rudder. The wings.. well 150 inches. the elevator and stab are 45 inches (span) and the fin and rudder are about17 inches tall.
Any comments are welcome
