Spacers perhaps?
Also, how difficult is detaching the shifting cable from an IGH?
Some people think the Nexus/Alfine is hard but not in my experience. downshift to 1, unbolt the wheel, pull the housing out of the cable stop, rotate the hub around and unwrap the cable. when the end barrel rotates a bit it comes out of its hook. I think people forget that you can pull the housing out of the stop first.
Although, if you have full length shift cable housing you might just be able to flip the wheel over and not detach the cable at all, just have it clamped to the downtube so it can run up either left or right chainstays, maybe with a hook/guide on the bottom bracket for tire clearance, nice and tidy
