Default RE: Spinners

Dr1, I was told that right away by my Dad when I started getting into planes. Seems like most of the spinners that look right as, in preportion to the model, want to touch the prop, Example: I have a World Models Cap 232-46R. The Castrol Aviator plane of Mike Goulian. It came with a red 2.25 in. spinner which is a dead match for the red cirle on the pre-painted fiberglass cowl. I was barely able to put a 12x6 ( I believe) Master Airscrew on it. While it looks very nice corresponding with the paint on the cowl behind it, the prop looks small for the plane to me. I guess the only way to get the larger cut-outs is to go with the high$$ Dubros that EXCAP mentioned? I'm a little gun shy of taking the Dremel to one. Doesn't it need to be perfectly balanced as well as the prop does?
Thanks.
