If you are changing the starter I would not shim it right away.Shims are used only when the starter SOUNDS tight. 9 times out of 10 shims are not needed. If the new starter sounds tight ( binding due to tight ring gear to bendix gear) then use one shim at a time to free it up. Even if the old starter had shims, the new one may not. I hope this helps you. Mark you can go to the auto store and buy shims slide em in and tighten it back down
