Jerry, the assembled inner wheel bearing height or width plus the newly made seal ring spacer cant be more than the original assembled bearing height or the hub will be shifted from the original position.
I've started to look into this and I'm not sure they make a thin enough tapered roller bearing assembly with appropriate ID and OD. Perhaps they do?

I believe the links provided above to threads with original bearing specifications, possible replacement bearings, and and the Timken catalog together can answer this question if you have the time and desire to go through it, find possible combinations and make the calculations.
