Do not use a hammer......you will see dents from this method. I sit on the ground and use both hands and both feet to push in place. No dents this way....

Then1/4" gap is built in, that will never get smaller.

I thought, THOUGHT, that gap was for wheel weight clearance.

I usually request to install weights on inside side of the wheel when as far is posible...
