Without seeing the situation it is hard to give a good opinion but here is some food for thought. You either need to move the gear door or more the wheel. I would think moving the wheel would be my last choice. That would require changing the gear pivot attachment so as to change the angle of rotation slightly. First choice...Make a poster board template of the "good" door and see how the opening compares to the "bad" side. Maybe the hinge is to long or to far aft.
