All 1 1/8 stems should come with the shim for a 1" threadless fork (just pop into any bike shop they will probably give you one...if you really struggle I probably have one...).
There should be lots of 1" ahead stems kicking around as well on ebay etc...
As to whether you can use an 1" ahead stem on a threaded fork without any issue I am not sure. You can get 1" threadless forks although they are less and less common these days.
