The spacers will screw up the alignment I am told.

Yes in theory but not in my experience. I use small spacers on my street wheel set to avoid any rubbing on the PSS9 rear shock because they are 996 rear wheels and are 1/2" wider than the 986 stock rear wheels that I use for the track. I can't tell any difference between having the spacers or not.
