The strip needs to be just wide enough to fit under the tube and bridge the gap as you bring the hub halves together. Of course, it'll have to remain as you tighten the bolts but I've done this for several tire changes (when the airplane was new, I tended to brake a bit too much resulting in several flat-spotted tires) with no adverse effects. The strip should be just wide enough to cover the gap without riding up the sides of the hub.
