Can't answer that, my seats go back until they hit the rear seat, with the
rails in the stock location.

The factory method of slitting the carpet to fit over the rails sure makes
it easier to lift the carpet (after it gets wet in the rain for example).
IMO unless you're putting padding or insulation under the seats, the spacer
is not necessary.
