Dont know about the UK but in NZ those spacers that are really just a fancy washer are banned. The reason was a stock car that had spacers a little too thick and the wheelnuts let go mid race and the wheel killed a child.
In NZ we can get a spacer that bolts to the hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer but even these need an engineers cert.
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
