Are 60cm cupboard wide enough to fit in a washing machine and allow for vibrations?

Refurbishing my flat and had a last minute snag - the washing machine cannot be installed where it was meant to. The only elegant solution is to sacrifice one of the existing cupboards in the kitchen and fit in an integrated one. That cupboard is 60cm wide. So technically, the machine will fit. I'm however worried about the vibration it will cause the all the cupboards next to it when it's on. Most machines I find have a width of 59.6 to 59.9cm. Any recommendations, or suggestions on how to approach this? Would 59.6 be enough to avoid the machine vibrating against the cupboards next to it? (That's a 2mm gap each side max)
