I'm replacing the bottom bracket on my BMX bike (2019 Fit Corierre) because it's grinding like crazy, and I realized I should also maybe be concerned about my spindle as well. I'm trying to figure out what these spacers (highlighted by blue arrow) are called because those I definitely need to replace. There's some rust on both ends of the spindle: if I clean it off and regrease will it be ok? Or do I need to just get a whole new spindle?
Thanks!

Why not just get a whole new bottom bracket? They’re not that expensive.
Bottom bracket spacers or washer just measure them and buy some washers
Profile Racing calls them crank/bottom bracket spacers. I would replace the entire BB and spindle, myself. The crankarms too, if they look like the spindle.
Rust? /s
