That’s not what Race Face fitting instructions say they’re for. It say’s they’re for setting the chainline (69,70 or 71mm ?).
Depends how mnay you need?

Those instructions just show 1 on each side but I was told to add/remove as nececary untill all the space was taken up.
[edit] read the troubleshooting section. It should be 1 each side if the BB is perfect, mine was obviously on the piss as it needed about 4!
I never looked into chainline, can’t see how 1mm makes any differance with 15mm of movement accross 3 rings and ~50mm of freehub! Mine was on SS anyway so used the freehub spacers to get it right.
