I have an old bottom bracket nut on the freewheel-side hub threads before the cog (14t in my case) which corrects the fixed chain line by moving the cog out 5mm. Been running it this way for 2 years with no problems. It's smoother and quieter than the 16/19 on the freewheel side. I only run the fixed cog with the 40t chainring.
