The only way you can get the wheels on an M less than 7 ft out to out is to turn the wheels so the concave side is facing in. My MD has the wheels all the way in with the concave out and it is 85 inches out to out of the tires. I agree that a 7000 lb trailer is not enough for an M. You need at least a 10,000 lb. But you can go up to 10,000 lbs gross weight with a class three hitch if you use an equalizer hitch. I also think a 318 engine is to small to be pulling an M around much. Short trip only!! I have the same problem and have been looking at trailers. I've concluded that the only way to go (without turning the wheels, which I do not want to do. Don't think they look right that way) is a goose neck over the wheels with an 8 ft wide bed. With the hitch and the trailer, you are looking at around $4K to get set up! I'm lucky, I already have the enough truck to pull it.
