The Shims are used in conjunction with a cast steel "Teacup" shaped spacer that sits between the inner bearing cone and the outer bearing cone. Only one side of the Teacup will use the shims, to obtain preload on the wheel bearings. The shims will be the same dimension (I.D./O.D.) of either the large or small end of the teacup, and also the corresponding face of the wheel bearing cone.

Unfortunately, I don't have a front hub disassembled at the moment to take pics or measurements. There should be a pic in the Parts List to show the arrangement.
