Default Hub Centric Spacers

I am making my own hub centric spacers for my C6 front brake upgrade on my '90. My street wheels are torq thrust Ms which have very little caliper clearance so I will need to move the wheel out a bit. I already have longer racing studs, but my question is:

How thin can I safely make it? I need about 1/2" or 13mm and I was planning on having a 9mm recess for the wheel bearing hub to go into and then a 9mm hub for the wheel to go over. Is the remaining 4mm overlap good enough? Would anyone be willing to measure some that they have for me?

The lip on a hub spacer is only there to help you get the wheel centered while you tighten the lugs. It does nothing to support the weight of the car.
