I shimmed the main gear pivot bracket rearward with 1/8 inch thick phenolic sheet. (I say this to illustrate there was room enough between forward and aft spars to do this, on my kit) I then lowered the rear bracket (aft spar) to make the retracted wheel more parallel to the top skin. I achieved enough clearance to not need to remove core material from either the gear doors or the top skin. I have the outback gear. Try rearrange the aft bearing blocks ... I had to reverse mine (on rear spar) to achieve the above installation. Work with the rear attach bearing bracket in different attitudes. Be careful to get the pivot bearing facing the proper direction. Hope this is clear enough to help you.
