Sounds right.  The spacers I used are actually 6mm which is 0.236" -- I 
can tell by examining the back of the wheel that neither the nuts nor 
the studs are fouling the wheel.

You get a little 'help' because with the spacers (vs sawing/grinding 
5/16 off the stud) you retain that little shoulder or nub on the end of 
the stud giving you perhaps a bit more clearance.

Note: I think one book (Piggott's) said to use 9mm spacers -- though 
that may have been a typo.  9mm wouldn't leave enough thread for my taste.
