Default Piston ring gap and oil ring tension

OK so the rings I ordered are too big my bore is 3.900 I ordered 3.905 bore rings
Will I be fine to file them down ?
If yes what should my tension be for the oil control ring ?

Ls1 with vrx4 cam and 243 heads and flat top sealed power pistons just a little info on the engine

Usually file fit rings are about .005" over sized, so you should be good there.

As far as tension, that's something the manufacturer would know.
