Thanks,
You can add a shim if you need to adjust the offset of your flywheel but it is not required. Also if you do add a shim it needs to fit the crank perfectly and not be larger than the inner race. I have seen many times people use large thin shims and they get bent back ( towards the bearing ) and eat up the bearing seal.
