Adjusting width/border problems (I think)

Hello.

The affiliate sidebar ads on my website are each 160px wide, and the sidebar width *should* be the same width.

#leftside,#rightside {
	margin:0;
	padding:0 4px 4px;
	width:160px;

My problem is that there is a large amount of unwanted gray space between the post area and the sidebar/ads. I widened the post area, and that ended up pushing the right sidebar out instead of filling the gray space without touching the sidebars.

So, I figured out that the gray space is attached to the post, and adjusts along with it accordingly. How do I get rid of it?

I tried pushing the top left ad individually (not the sidebar) to the right and it ended up getting “cropped” by this gray space.

I tried putting border: none; to #wrap –

#wrap {
	clear:both;
	font-size:0.9em;
	padding:0;
align: center;
width: 1024px;
	margin-top: 5px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-left: 0px
border: none;
}

– and it doesn’t do anything. Help?
