Optimizing Chainline

I tend to avoid using the larger cogs on my rear freewheel/cassette because I can feel drivetrain losses due to my chain bending.



Using this for reference, I can roughly say that my chainline while using 34 or 30t on the rear cassette, my chainline is just outside of what would be considered "within tolerance."

Bearing this in mind, is there any way i can use some sort of spacers between my chainrings to try and help with this? Or how could I find a crankset in the future which allows for a better chainline? Anything I could measure?
