Putting a solid pinion spacer is better no matter what size tyres you are running, but to install the lock rite you usually dont mess around with the pinion.

IMOP they are fairly cheap (cheaper then destroying the centre and having to replace the gears) whilst apart you could pull out the pinion and measure the collapsable spacer (micrometer) and just put the solid spacer in with the right amount of shims (they come with shims usually) and in theory if all reinstalled properly the crownwheel and pinion alignment will not have changed.

This is presuming you have the tools and can do it yourself.
