HockeyDude, so your wheels are 1.5" too far inboard. Here's how to solve your problem without spacers. Have your upper and lower control arms converted from rubber bushings to rod ends (AKA: Heim joints). Get the fabrication shop to extend the threaded mounting bosses by 1.5". Then you'll have longer control arms. OK, so you'll also need longer sway bars and driveshafts. Then, there's the matter of spacing out your tie rod ends too. So it's not cheaper than buying new wheels, but it would sure be a unique solution to what appears to be a common problem.
