Did you mean 2' on center?
*4' centers are acceptable (at least in Michigan) for a metal roof.

They are 4 foot on center. Metal roof. Walls are 2x4 stick built 2
foot on center studs attached directly to a concrete pad. (I think the
pad is thicker around the perimeter.)
My concern was with 4 foot on center whatever I use for the ceiling
(osb, drywall, foam board, whatever) might sag? Is this true?
