Where the dicum touches, take a little off. Dicum, cut. Dicum, cut. Once the dicum makes 100% transfer from wheel to spacer, you're done, and you have a general template to make the other spacers from, using the dicum to check fitment. Hopefully squareness wouldn't be an issue with using a lathe.

It's tedius, but only has to be done once...hopefully. It's no worse than grinding cylinder heads to clear pushrods....
