Just gonna clear up some misinformation.
DO NOT use a DE spacer on the VE motor. You will most likely crack the oil pump drive when you torque the pulley down because the spacer goes in deeper than the drive.
You can run the DE crank pulley on the VE and there will be no issues with the front cover clearance. The only issue is that the belts will be slightly misaligned, but it will still work just fine. I have had the DE UR pullies on my VE for close to 80k with zero problems. So either run it how it is, machine down the part of the pulley that rests on the spacer, or go with the gspec pulley. Those are your options.

The DE crank pully is thicker & needs some material machined off before it is fitted to a VE. Putting it on as-is could damage the oil cover/seal.
The VE crank pully has less material so you need a spacer if you put it on a DE.
