Installing the hydraulics in an LNC2.

Good I checked clearances for the wheel and tire before commiting to hoses and  mounting of the hydraulic fittings in the stub wing/fuselage closeout rib. The tire and the hydraulic fittings coming through the closeout rib want to occupy the same space. And the tire is seriously close (1/4") to the bottom skin/back side of the spar in the retracted condition.

Is this condition common? I can certainly change the fittings to a 45 degree from the "T" in the wheel well for the high pressure side and put a "T" on the outside fitting of the cylinder rather than an elbow. Is this a reasonable fix?
