Default Bending Door Hinges?

I have a door (utility entry) that is tight against the hinge side, but gaps

this and is there a good way to do it? *1/8" over will look perfect, but
that is more than you can get by putting shims under the hinge.


You're not trying to center the door in the frame, are you? The hinge
side gap is usually smaller for a reason.
