I doubt you can measure that gap within .0005", so I'm thinking you have .025" gap, which is a bit high I'd say. But .0025, if it is that, is too close.
I think you have probably made a typo on the dimension, .025 is less that 1/32" by .007".
You can measure it in any system you want, let's stick to thousandths for the US market though.
If I recall correctly the OEM should have .012" to .016" (.30 to .40 mm) gap.
After market ones should be as the maker says I guess.
