I haven't had to do this when changing pads, but did need to shim out a Spyre caliper with 1 or 2 thin washers when swapping between forks once (didn't die). Though I'd say as long as the pad is still making contact up to the outside edge of the rotor, leave it be. Maybe chamfer the bottom edge of the pad with sandpaper if the noise is too annoying?

Just replaced the pads on some Spyre C's with some lifeline jobs and the bottom of the pad is overlapping the inside edge of the main contact portion of the disc by a few mm. Can i safely shim the caliper to raise the height or should i look for different pads? Or is this a non issue? I can hear the disc arms scuffing the pads if i spin the wheel slowly.
