Default Wheel spacers

I have some larger than stock(295/35/19) rear tires and they rub on the inside when going over large bumps. The only option I have found so far is a 1/4" drm spacer that goes for ~$130, does anyone know of anything in 1/8 space that maybe goes for a bit less $.
Thank you.

Check Summit or Jegs, Gorilla makes an 1/8" spacer.

Thank you.
I bought two pairs of 5mm hub-centric machined aluminum spacers from Amazon last weekend - arrived yesterday and they look great. They were $24 for a pair - see
here here
.

These are about as thick as you can safely go with stock studs, FYI...and I would suggest not using a cast, non-hub-centric type spacer. IMHO.
