What I did was install it normally and figure out how far back I had to move it to make the door close, then drilled that far back from each of the holes.

I'm not sure what HU you are installing but for both my Pioneer AVH4000 and my Pioneer F90BT I didn't have to do any drilling. I just screwed the brackets in their normal spots and put the unit in. If I close the door hard it hits the main **** on the radio but it still shuts fine, the radio just gets muted sometimes.
