In your situation, with the quill adapter to a bolt on, you do not need any spacers. your headset is secured by the threads and a nut. on a threadless stem I use one (atleast) below and 1 above the stem. the top cap then presses it all together before you tighten the 2 binding bolts.

people often have a large stack of spacers on their steertube to try to raise the handlebars a little without buying a new stem with a different angle. Or maybe because they dont have a hacksaw to cut it down.
