My friend made it

I didn't understand this bit - when you remove and re-fit a wheel it can only go back in one (correct) position, fully into the dropouts on both sides.
When it's in, it's in sort of thing.
If it was me, I wouldn't be bothering with getting shims made etc - I'd just file enough off the post mount to give me .030"-.040" of clearance.
