Which spacers to make downpipe stop rubbing?

I have the Ichiba downpipe on my IX and for some reason it's rubbing the tie bar. I put around 3 spacers at each bolt and it still hits at rough road areas. Up to how many can I add to the bolts to keep from hurting or straining the tie bar and what it does?

Thanks. I didn't know that it would originally work out this way or I would have gone a different route. NOw that it's on I just want to know how to deal with it.

I think a 3/8" spacer will do the trick.. If anything you can kill two birds with one stone and thermo wrap your downpipe.
