Using Acrylic Discs To Frost A Cake That Is Going To Be Covered In Fondant

In order for me to get perfectly frosted cake I need to use acrylic disks. I am currently using the disks that are over sized by 0.5 inches. I am wondering if that is too much frosting to place fondant. I am wondering if I should only use acrylic discs that only are over sized by 0.25 inches.
I just ordered some from cakethings.com. They should be here by the end of next week. :-)
I would like the 1/2 inch because that will give you 1/4 inch around the cake. I think that's a good amount. 1/8 inch is too thin, imho. I use at least 1/4 inch and I don't have any issues with fondant, haven't had the dreaded bulge yet:)
Have you used them with fondant yet?
No I haven't use them with fondant yet. I am hoping to try it this week. I will let you know how it goes. I am worried that using the 0.5 inch over sized disks will have to much frosting in the cake.
