Question Axle wheel spacers help

Rear wheel axle / spacer set up-custom. My brain has stopped, big time.
Spacering out a custom rear caliper on rigid frame.
The wheel has the bearings, along with the inner hub spacer.
Spacers between the frame and the wheel;
should the lip of the spacer facing the hub rest against the outer most edge of the wheel bearing, or rest against the spacer inside the hub?

Saw a clear diagram posted by "Ripsaw" sometime during 2011 which answered my question.
