Are there any issues with this, besides 'measure twice, drill once'?

I know the 'design' specifies that they go right next to the body of the 
plane, but I'd rather not cut out the underside of my wings if I can 
avoid it....

I'm doing a retract -> tri-gear conversion, and was thinking that since 
there's this nice big hole already there on the back of the spar (where 
the retracts go) I could just stick the brackets in that spot, and 
minimize how much re-glassing I have to do...

Is there any benefit to having the gear closer to the fuselage, besides 
a narrower ground track?
