To avoid this problem, you could try using timing belt pulley stock instead of just pulleys. That would be a guaranteed fit. As it is, you are machining them anyway.
We were actually thinking of that when I presented the design to the rest of the team. It would also let us run custom width belts if they're not too expensive.
