Yup its what I do as well.

Sometimes, you don't want spacers - if you are trying to correct a
slight error, you may need the tiles fractionally closer. Using a
high

I find with some spacers, the leg is marginally thinner than it is
wide. So rotating it 90 degrees in the gap make it a little
smaller. Two used together are a tad more than one width etc.
Hence careful selection of combinations can tweak the gap in or
out as required.

1mm thick plastic plant labels make good tweakers

And bits of cereal box.

Fag packet shurely?

Don't call me Shirley.

The British Standard Fag Packet is a very useful tool. Being 95mm x 55mm x
20mm it make an ideal spacer for all sorts of things.

Curtain pole brackets for example. 55mm above the reveal & 95m either side
is the perfek spacing.

Very close to the golden ratio is your BSFP.
