2/10ths of an inch (about 5.08 mm), should make no difference unless your calipers are pulling back too far, or you go metal to metal on the brakes really badly. If you are really concerned about it, you could make 4 2.5mm shims to attach securely behind the pads to clear up any apprehension. I use a brake pad pressure tool from Innovative to set my brakes up.
