You need to get your inner CV joints shortened by ⅜'s of an inch and make sure that whatever machine shop does it also machines a groove for the retaining band that holds the rubber CV boot in place.
Or alternatively you can purchase a shortened CV joint/axle assembly.

I thought they shaved 3/8" off of the cup. I could very well be mistaken.
