Why don't you just save yourself a lot of time and money and keep the twin screw, and just run four singles on the back ???

Pull both wheels from each hub, then install one wheel flipped to the outside on the inner lug nuts. That way they should line up pretty close to the front tires.

I sometimes did that in the winter on my C-50 (only it was just single lug nuts). You get much better traction and it is quick and easy to throw a single tire chain on a single tire if necessary.
