To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such as Firebug: http://getfirebug.com/ , Chrome Inspect Element: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ or Internet Explorer 9+ F12 Dev. Tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565627(v=vs.85).aspx#csstool
There are others.
When editing CSS, use a Child Theme
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option.
Edits to parent themes are lost on theme update.

You could provide a live site link for assistance with CSS but: this forum does not support Commercial Themes. You paid the vendor for support when you procured it.

Hey,
Thank you for the info, I actually do web development just have no idea how to do this. The theme is actually free and anyone can download it. Sadly I am waiting on my server to come back up so I am not able give you any links. I know my way around wordpress enough to just use a theme as a base and build off of it.
Do you know how to actually have the navbar resized?
As noted, that would be with CSS….

I am not wanting .navbar { width: 900px;} I am wanting each ‘menu.li’ to change depending on how many items I have. So for example, if I have two items and my .navbar is 900px each item would be 450px. If I added in a 3rd item it would resize so that each item is now 300px and so on. What kind of css tricks allow for that I guess is what I am really asking…
That would look odd – when site is up post a link please..

Hey,
I get the site for the most part up and running. You can view it here, http://ballairefinearts.com/
I also manage another site, http://www.jrummyapps.com and the theme we are using has an option built in to “Scale Main Menu (Scale menu items so they spread across the whole width of the menu.)”.
After doing more reading last night I am thinking that it is more of a javascript change then a CSS change but I may be going down the wrong track.
Thanks for your help this far!!
Yes, you would need javascript to calculate any CSS adjustments.
