I got 1"7/8" between them. I havent even checked the panel covers. Although they should be ok.

The only issue I see, is if you need to run nipples between them for whatever the reason may be. You'd need to anticipate the size of the fittings to do that.

When you have numerous pieces of equipment along a wall, it is OK for work space to overlap, as long as you have 30" in front of any given piece of equipment, even if it is also in front of its neighbor. If the equipment differs in DEPTH, then one piece can penetrate its neighbor's work space by up to 6". So given a big 12" deep panel next to a little 6" deep panel, that is OK. They can share the working width, with a depth starting from the cover of the 12" deep panel.

What is not OK, is a 10" deep disconnect squeezed between a 24" deep transformer and a wall, if there isn't 30" between the wall and transformer.

Can you give the code section that says that?
I know that is allowed above or below the equipment by 110.26 (A) (3) but I am not sure side by side is ok.
