if your bearing is resting on the pressure plate fully compressed, your clutch will always be engaged to soe degree. You need that 1/8th gap. Fully extended it will ride on the pressure plate and that is fine.

I have never heard of anyone running into a situation where there is no gap to the pressure plate when the slave is fully compressed, so I would double check how you are measuring. They do make spacers that go between the bellhousing and the block, but I would be absolutely sure before using one of those. See if there are any videos on YouTube that might help you.
