I had a feeling that might be the case. Seems silly to have something where the width relies on compressible spacers. Torque it up a little on the high side and let's say it tightens 1/8th turn too far on both sides, it'll go around 0.25mm too narrow and knock side to side. Don't torque it up enough and it'll probably put too much side load on the bearings when the cranks are tightened up.
