Thanks - I realized after the fact that I neglected to use the word "prehung"
in my original posting; I thought it would be more appropriate to have an
equivalent hardwood frame rather than the original painted members.

Looks like I'm talking about ripping down wallboard and moving studs if I want
to use stock prehung units. This is not something particularly appealing.

would the cost of custom doors be higher than moving or reframing the
door to use prehung/premade doors?

Not terribly hard to narrow a prehung unit. How much too big is the
standard pre-hung - and what size is it. Any good lumber yard / home
center can get numerous sizes of pre-hung doors.
