Spoke stretch and rounding down?

Hi all,

I'm going to build a front wheel using an American Classic Micro and a Sun M17A 28h tubular rim radially laced with DT Revolution 1.8-1.5-1.8mm (15/17/15 gauge) spokes.

Spokecalc gave me 292mm spokes but I'm afraid that they are so thin they'll stretch and I'll run out of thread.

Should I get 290's?

Thanks,
Ray
