Default spacer question

I am reinstalling a rear wheel in a 98 dyna wide glide I am not sure how the spacers on each side of the wheel go back. Do the chamfered ends go towards the wheel or towards the outside. I called 2 harley dealerships and each gave a different answer

Thinking about this logically, one would think the chamfered end would go towards the wheel, otherwise why add the machine costs to chamfer one side. They could have just left it straight....

in otherwords...I’m not 100% sure...lol
