You might want to have someone look at how you position your hands, arms, and fingers when you play. Sometimes people can do the most awkward things imaginable in their playing and not realise that it doesn't have to be that hard. There's no reason why you can't stretch just as far on a fretboard as you can when you just hold your hand at arm's length and spread your fingers out.

If you can stretch your fingers enough to span 2 1/2 inches with your first and third fingers, then you can easily play a C chord--well, with practice. If your fingers are smaller than that, buy a guitar with a shorter scale length. Seriously.
