RMS seals are one of the cheapest, and most updated parts in the car, so it makes sense to stay current, particularly when you thing about how hard/expensive it becomes to go back in and do it again.

We have never really paid much attention to the realtionship of the seal and the inside edge; we simply set it to 13MM as measured from the crank flange face using the OEM tool, check it after the tool is removed just to be sure. Haven't seen any issue to date, and we have a fair number of them installed.
