Hi there! I'm reaching out for your knowledge and assistance. After searching the web for powermeter options I ended up buying an XCadey Cannondale specific one. On my previous setup I was running a 42T chainring with enough clearance (the marks in the pictures are from a really muddy ride). However, I just installed the powermeter with a 40T chainring (I'd like to have the 42T back at some point), and it's so close to the chainstay that I don't want to risk it. The current setup has a 5 mm spacer on the Drive side.
What options do I have? Would a 6 mm spacer do the trick?
I'd love for this setup to work as there are not many options given Cannondale's Ai shenanigans.
Thank you!

Unless it rubs I don’t see an issue. It’s close but it isn’t that close.
a thicker spacer on the drive side just shifts the chainring further outboard toward that chainstay, so you’ll trade clearance on one side for the other
