Yes, 6061-T6 is typically used for wheel spacers, but be mindful that most wheel spacers are used on cars, not trucks. The loads and stresses on them would likely be higher when fitted to a truck.
Not that I would go down this path myself, but if I did, I would probably use 7075-T6, as it offers superior properties, like higher strength and fatigue resistance. However, 7075-T6 is typically more expensive.
My alloy super singles are hub-centric, which is a bit of a pain. I definitely would have preferred that they were stud-centric, but I did not get a choice in their design.
If you are using steel rims, why wouldn't you go with a stud-centric design?
