I'd run the inside rear tires as close together as You can on Your C. And the duals only have to be a couple inches away from the main tire, just far enough away so they don't rub where they bulge on the bottom. I would not run clamp-on duals, those old IH letter series tractors had a bad habit of cracking rear cast wheel centers, H's and M's especially, I suspect the C/SC would too as the centers are similar only much lighter. The off-set of the clamp-on dual puts too much stress on the center of the wheel and it cracks where the "U"-clamp bolts to the wheel.
If You want flotation I'd take ALL the weight off. Your tractor will push and try to go straight when You turn short, so using the inside brake will be required. I'd use the taller tire on the inside wheels, and run a couple less PSI air pressure on the duals. Look at FIRESTONE's tire website for the "Loaded Radius" of the tire size You have. Even without ballast duals should give You more than enough traction to use all the HP Your C has.
Only suggestion I have for the front is lighter weight and wider tires. I've even seen people "Dual" up front wheels on WFE tractors. On Your C new wheels & separate hubs will probably be required to get tires much wider.
