This is really common on Tigers, I'm not sure what to attribute it to...as a 
matter of fact, I had enough offset that I did hit the tunnel/passenger side 
when autocrossing one weekend. It has nothing to do with motor mounts being 
incorrect, leaf spring alignment etc.
Either "relieve" the tunnel with some "persuasion" or loosen everything from 
the motor mounts back and try to minimize the angle when re-tightening (a pry 
bar wedged between the trans and the tunnel works).
