hey mate, did you know that spacers are illegal? You're better off getting granada hubs if you want a different bolt pattern (5x112 as opposed to 4x108).

easy as piss to change

you also may want to see if they have any other hubs in stock or can order:

There are also Granadas wrecking in ebay and you can specifically ask them for the hubs themselves

And also, why are you getting custom made spacers? They are available in pleny of different sizes? Surely it would be cheaper to buy some rather than have some made?
