Well where did you get this wheel? It appears from the pic that it was in an accident and the bottom and left spoke are possibly bent. If you can take some more pics with better detail. If the wheel is straight then the thin metal frame the airbag is attached to is bent. You can remove that piece and lay on a flat surface, then carefully bend back into shape or get a new one.

I got it on ebay. I'll remove the carrier like you suggest and see if it's bent. The wheel itself looks ok.

I bought my wheel and airbag separately. It was slightly off not quite as bad as yours is, but I took a little time and a critical eye and got it to fit perfectly. Have fun.
