No shims.
As stated, very few reasons why the flywheel would hit the mag plate. Either that flywheel taper has been opened up as Frank said, or the mag plate is damaged. Is the brass ring in the center properly attached to the plate? Not cracked? Look underneath. You have to take it off anyways to inspect the support ring.
By the way, what a find regarding your girlfriend! Not only does she find a motor, she helps work on it!
My wife has a few "jobs" that I make her do, but she hates every minute of it lol
