It's not uncommon to see teams misaligned wheels to keep chain properly aligned. It can make your drive quirky, but it's not really the end of the world if you get appropriate practice in.

On the subject of spacers, you don't necessarily have to make them. We've used ~1/4" spacers made for #10 screws on AM wheels before without any problems. You should be able to get them from your local hardware store, or at least something close enough to work.
