Sorry I read the message too fast and should have created another thread
for this problem.

But I concur with DJ, I typically use 75µm (~3mil) for solder mask cleareance,
although I had to go below (down to 60µm] for some 0.5mm pitch devices in a board 
which was fabricated earlier this month. But whether you can do it or not
depends on your PCB house (in the first version the solder mask apertures
were merged).
