If it has shims now and you buy an OEM replacement starter, then use the shims. If it does not have shims then you will not need them. Replace the starter with an exactly duplicate, installed exactly as the original. If in doubt measure the distance from the mounting plate face to the end of the drive gear shaft and make sure that distance in the same on the replacement starter.
