  Hello:-)
  
  So you want in increase width of sidebar and of content, but it should be narrower then currently. It sounds like paradox :-) Please clarify.
  
  With regards.

  I want to change the overall width of the layout to like 870px. The content area to be around 550px and the sidebar to like 300px with 20px spacing in between content area and sidebar. Basically I just want to be able the change the widths of the content area and sidebar accordingly. hope that makes more sense. Thank you.

  But you have to agree that first version of what you have asked was clear paradox? :-)
  
  It is problematic to change basic width of layout. It will hit responsive design also. So I would like to ask why you want to do it, what are your reasons to redesign theme?
  
  Maybe we will find different solution for your issue, cause this seem like not good way.
  
  Anyway you can try with this custom CSS:

  
  .layout-narrow #header, 
  .layout-narrow #mid, 
  .layout-narrow #footer {
      max-width: 900px;
  }
  #content, .foot-content {
      max-width: 880px;
  }
  #secondary{
      padding-left: 20px;
  }
  

  With regards.
