Adjustable spacer for panels against sloping studs?
Skip the wedge... attach new studs to the old ones on the side, at one end they end up aligned, at the other end 2cm out, then drive in 90mm wood screws again. Presto, you have a frame that's even, just with a 45mm offset against the old ones, but you'll have to live with that... maybe a wedge in the corner, or if you do those walls too, you can place an angle plate between the OSB and plaster, which will stiffen up the corner.
I wouldn't build a wall where the OSB boards aren't supported along the entire length of the stud.

If it is an exterior wall and you have space, it is not wrong to frame anew with 45*45 cc 60 or cc 45 somewhere between the existing studs to avoid the thermal bridge; the wall becomes vertical and slightly better insulated.
However, it is not recommended to do so.Boan said:Ignore the wedge.. attach new studs to the old ones on the side, in one end they end the same, in the other extend 2cm, drive in 90mm wood screws again.
