Here's good thread on customizing spacers, cush-drives and brake-rotors for wheel swaps.

If you don't have your own mini-lathe, these guys can supply custom spacers

Depending upon load (weight, power, speed, etc.), making spacers from aluminium can save some weight, but can allow flexing and uneven bearing wear. Titanium is a good metal with densities, modulus and strength right in-between steel and aluminium. Bracing swingarm can help reduce this flex as well.
