Use 2mm washers for the spoke nipples inside rim?

Changing the spokes in the wheel, bought 265mm spokes instead of 264mm and they are too loose.

Now i have two options:
  1. Have spokes stick out of the spoke nipples 1-2mm into the rim which is withing spec, however i don't like this option.
  2. Use 2mm thick washers for the spoke nipples to space them away from the rim thus spokes will not come stick out into the rim.
Is option two with washers acceptable or better i find a proper size spokes?




Unlike this diagram my rims don't have recess for the spoke nipples, so its going to be 2mm above the inner wall of the rim

This is picture of my rim with 1mm spacer, if i add one more spacer spoke nipple will be even higher.
