What is the tolerance of the originals? As a general rule of thumb order the same or lower tolerance (i.e. if the original is a 10% order a 10% or a 5%, but never* a %20).

*Unless you have high accuracy measuring equipment and you can buy a bunch of sloppy tolerance parts to cull a good one from cheaper than the correct tolerance part.
