As said, there are spacers and then there are spacers. If you only need to find 1/4" you should have no problems. You can probably find some of it with a couple of careful passes with a grinder on the caliper where it's hitting the wheel and if it's touching on the wheel ribs, a little bit of local filing will also help. Old wheels, so make the corrections as smooth as possible to minimise the chance of cracks. You might get away with no spacers at all but maybe 1/8"/3mm fine to keep things tidy.
Nice classic wheels!
