Default Vane to Nock distance - 4 inch Vanes touching rest when bow is not drawn

So I'm still setting up my new Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo. I'm playing around with 4 inch vanes, but since the brace height is only six inches, the vanes are touching the rest when the bow is not drawn. They're actually raising the arrow up about 1/4 inch.

Do you think this is a problem, or is it not an issue because the bow isn't drawn.

It's a QAD Ultra HDX rest with the spacer block installed for Hoyts.

Draw length is 29.5
Draw weight is 70

Not a problem at all. The shaft will settle into the rest upon drawing and the rest will be out of the way as the arrow passes through. Just be sure you have clearance everywhere else.
