Default help w/ recessed light fixtures

building garage & would like to install recessed fluorescent fixtures.
i like the 2'x4' fixtures used in suspended ceilings, but they're 2'
foot wide & my trusses are 2' on center, leaving a 22.5" opening. does
anyone make a 22.5" x 48" fixture. i've looked in to can lights, but
i'd need a lot more & they' cost a bit more. any suggestions?

if you're building the garage and the finished ceiling is not up, then
you can bridge the 24" centers with 2x to support your lights.\

good luck, tim1198
