Colson Wheel and AndyMark HTD Pulley

Just want to get some thoughts on something;

How would you feel about putting one of AndyMark's plastic 42-tooth kitbot HTD pulleys on a Colson 3'' wheel, given that the flange diameter of the pulley is 2.9'', which leaves only .1'' of clearance between that and the ground?

I think it'd probably be fine, but would like to get some more thoughts on it. It'd be very convenient, as the AndyMark pulleys are cheap, have the correct bolt-circle for the Colson dead-axle hubs, and we already have a bunch lying around.
