Why do you need spacers?
Spacers in general are pretty dangerous because you put a lot of additional strain on your wheel lugs, but here's a link:

Where are the tires rubbing on the body of the car? On the inside of the fender? If you get spacers and they are rubbing on the inside of the fender they are just going to rub even worse. Spacers just move the tires out farther.
However, the link that aaron11272 gave should be fine for you. You can also get the exact same ones here:

Also, just so you know I have discused the issue of whether wheel spacers are good or bad with the tech guys at MM and they assured me that the spacers for 79-93's will be fine (as well as any other properly sized spacer). I was told that they have been using wheel spacers on their cars for many years with no problems. I do not doubt that people have had problems while using spacers, however, the problem may have been due to something other than the wheel spacer or the instalation of the spacer. Either way, use at your own risk.

If you put spacers on the front wheels, it will just make it rub worse. The spacers push the wheels out and make a bigger arc of travel, so the wheel goes into the fender even more.
WHat size wheel and tire you running? Are you lowered?

If you don't car so much about your turn radius you could try some steering rack limiters. Ford Part# N804842-S

I have two on each side in my car. Parking sucks, but hey, no rub. Also, once you get new tires, you can take them out and return to your original radius. Easy, cheap, reversible. Good luck!
