I couldn't flush up either side of the stud butting into that exterior because it was 5 3/8 width and the one in the exterior was 5 1/2, which is normal size. We have no extra studs so what do we do? All we can do with something like that is get it as close as possible. The only other thing I could think of was to rip down a 1/8 strip but to do that by hand is next to near impossible.

I hear what you're saying. It's just a lot easier to get decent wood if you're doing a DIY job.
