Default anyone make a 1" or .75" wheel spacer

curious if anyone makes a 1" wheel spacer or a .75" spacer. My new wheels and 37's are rubbing the control arms well before full lock. I know I can adjust the steering stops, but Id like to retain as much turning radius as possible. So curious whats the smallest spacer that is made that bolts on. I hear bad things about the slip on spacers and Im not sure where to get longer studs to go that route.

Its not horrible now, just rubs more than I would like. The steering stops will most likely solve the issue, I was just curious what else was out there. My old wheels were 4.50"bs and these are 4.75 so its only 1/4" difference in bs and the extra 1" in tire height. again just looking at my options.
I do really want beadlocks as well lol. but that is not the plan for now.
