The Park tool uses 6 alloy rings to make sure the race doesn't get damaged. I doubt the King piece would make much difference in this instance.

As Mr Kirk mentioned above, stop and take a measurement of the crown race diameter of the fork. I would guess it is slightly oversize, and King ( I believe) makes over & under sized baseplates if you didn't want to mill the carbon (assuming the fork has a carbon race instead if an alloy piece). What fork are you using? Does it have an integrated bearing race already?
