Anyone know where I could get hubcentric spacers for cheap? I got a quote for $150 for 4. I tried amazon but they don't have anything that's smaller than 1 inch.

How small of a spacer are you trying to find? Perhaps spending more for a quality product is in order, considering what they are being used for.

1/4" I don't want my wheels sticking out too far. They already stick out a good bit.

Those are too thick, however, I did see these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032HQJ7G/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

Does anyone know if they will work on these:
Pro Comp Steel Wheels - Series 51, 16x8 with 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern - Gloss black | 4WheelParts.com

Also, I have longer studs if that makes any difference. I installed studs from the rear wheels of a toyota matrix awd.

Wheel spacers arent something that you want to take a cheap route on if your going that route... Ive seen wheels snap off right at the spacer on the trail. I would spend the $ for something reputable. If the ones your looking at are $150 then whats another $50?

I see people talking about the wheels snapping off. Can you explain what that means? I don't understand and that's why I'm trying to go the cheap route. Currently I have a 1/4" generic lug centric spacer that fits my lug pattern and longer studs from a toyota matrix awd rear hub.

Just to clarify, I'm looking for a spacer, not an adapter. I intend on using my lugs nuts on my installed studs since there is plenty of thread on the studs with the wheels on.
 
Search Google for "failed wheel spacer". I'm assuming you only want a quarter inch to clear brake calipers. There are lots of threads on that.

I ran 1/4 spacers with longer studs for a while and then got .75 bora spacers instead. Much better. Easier to take rule wheels off, better thread engagement, and less vibrations.

If the spacer isnt installed correctly, chipped, other defects they can crumble or actually snap off due to pressure on the lug/stud. Google it like said above. Dont let it discourage you, just dont buy something "Cheap" or you'll end up with a very expensive fix. I ran spidertrax for years and never had problems. It is always better to not run them if that is an option, maybe wheels with more offset would fix your issue? At $150 your half way there on a set of 4 steelies.
