UITabBar selectionIndicatorImage with 3 bars creating unwanted padding

Question

I have a UITabBar with 3 bars in my application. What I am trying to do is implementing a custom selectionIndicatorImage. Everything is fine except for the last bar where I get a weird 1 pt padding to the right.

Example

Code

[[UITabBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbar-test.png"]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbar-selected.png"]];

Dimensions

tabbar-test.png 320x49 and 640x98

tabbar-selected.png 107x49 and 214x98

I met this issue and did not find a nice solution. At last, I use a 3rd part controller:
