I recently got some hub centric 15mm which is just over 9/16".
I could not find an off the shelf 1/2" thick one.
With a steel wheel, you may not have room for the wheel stud/nut protrusion that sticks out of the spacer.
I would measure that carefully and/or consider trimming the studs & using shorter nuts.
See how much the studs/nuts stick out of the spacer here.
This is a 1/2" spacer in the picture with about half of the nut protruding from the spacer.
With that said, you may have to run a slip-on spacer, which is not terrible if only 1/2" thick

Thanks for the reply.
It looks like a slip on spacer is going to be the answer based on my ongoing research and your help. I am going to contact one of the custom spacer suppliers located in Lubbock Texas tomorrow. It is kind of one of those "rock and a hard place" things. I know I have myself boxed-in in that I want to keep the factory steel wheels. Issues with the stud length (with the steel wheels and if I use spacers spacers of similar design to yours) means new studs, going more than 1/2" slip on spacers also means new studs and then there is the safety issue to consider.
Standard "scope creep" like all of these projects. A simple thing like moving that wheel out 1/2" +/- turns into a minor headache in a heartbeat.
