Default did i just bone myself in the butt with no lube? (piston rings)

i searched and decided to go with a .028 top ring and a .032 bottom ring as im running 14:1 and running a 200 shot... but.. this is my 1st time file fitting rings and it cut a little faster than i thought... most of the top rings measured out at .028 like i wanted but 2 of them are .030... and my 2nd ring all are .032 like i wanted but one is .035 if i have a little blow by im not going to be too terrable upset as i can just vent it out... but did i totally **** myself? ive built lots of motors but this is my 1st time file fitting rings...
?

Not ideal but the motor won't know the difference. It'll be ok.
