Walter,

My IV-P kit was delivered in 1995 so there may be some differences between
our respective kits.  Like you, I had wheel to door cutout problems.  I
asked the factory rep about juggling the axle spacers.  His reply was that
the spacers could be reconfigured as necessary to get sufficient clearance.
In my case the net result was that spacer thickness was decreased.  Between
that and having had the factory cut shims to adjust toe-in, track is fine
and tire wear is minimal.

I would suggest that you check with Don Goetz at the factory.  In my view
he's the last word on the IV.
