I have been caught too many times. The other rule is that if you feel you have to trim leave it bigger than you figure you need it to be. Building Lancairs is not an exact science. It is easy to cut a piece off but much harder to put it back on!!!!! However in this case I cannot see that you could do much harm to trim it. I would leave it a 1/16"th proud of the rib as a "just in case provision" for when you have to make the final clearance between the wing and the centre section.
