In my case I could reuse the old shims as the backlash was correct and this despite the fact that I changed the pinion, ring gear, differential and all the bearings and the pinion depth even needed to be changed by factor of approximately 3 (compared to the original one). On top of it I was using an old differential housing from a Lexus IS300.

So, it'd be surprised if you needed different shims if you just swapped the differential.
