Door frame help

[Greencarvings]

I picked up a nice exterior door at the habitat for humanity restore. I need to build a frame for it. How much wider is the frame than the door? 1/16? 1/8? 1/4"?

My exterior doors that are custom made, I leave 3/32" to 1/8" on each side and top and 1/4" at bottom. This work well with my stops, seals and threshold configurations. Remember an exterior door needs a little room to breath due changes in moisture and tempetures.
