Don't need any spacers, don't respace and redish the wheel. Just throw on a Shimano BMX freewheel, and cross your fingers and hope for a workable chainline. On my girlfriend's SS I never respaced or redished the wheel, and with the middle ring on her once-triple she actually has a chainline good enough to work. It's within 5mm.
You could always flip your spindle or try a different crank (or hell, use the tiny ring!) if you're not getting a workable chainline.
