Yeah, if the freewheel is engaging too few threads it's probably not a good idea to use a spacer behind it. But it's been so long since I've dealt with run-of-the-mill (non-Phil) FW hubs that I had completely forgotten that you can move the chainline back and forth on those a bit, too, by adding or removing spacers or washers to one side or the other. Here's a link to an on-line retailer that offers some from 1mm up to 4mm, including a bag of assorted sizes. Then, when you've got the chainline where you want it, re-center the wheel.
