Default valve adjustment, feeler guages, is this one ok?

I bought a new set of feeler gauges to adjust the valves on my b16 and DOHC 1.6i-16s (ZCs) It has .15mm and .20mm and nothing in between, now the repair manual specs say .15 -.19mm for intake and .17 to .21mm for exhaust. So my question is, would this be ok to use and if so would it be .15mm for intake (since that is the spec, even though it seams kinda low to me) and .20mm for exhaust? Or should I get another new set of feeler gauges? Thanks

I adjust to the lowest # so the .20mm would bother me.

This should work, but it doesnt say what the individual sizes are.

They don't have the set that I have online anymore.
