Personally I would go with something stronger. Most wheel bolts are 10.9 equivalent or higher. A2 stainless is a good bit below that. I don't know what specific size Blitz uses but any serrated flange nut thats 10.9 rated or higher would be fine. If you use steel, just make sure its chrome plated or something to withstand weathering. If your deadset on stainless, I would at least go with an A4 at minimum.

If your intention is to spin the face around and run the barrel as the lip, I'd be careful. There's a dip in the barrel on all reverse lip wheels which would look a bit weird like a faux step lip. Equips can be sandwiched mounted so its really only aesthetic but my old VSXXs couldnt even fit in the barrel due to this cavity being substantially smaller than the face diameter. Most flipping faces that I've seen is reserved for step lipped wheels which don't have that dip. But if your cool with the look, go for it.
To answer your question, nearly every Work barrel I've had has been 6.5" so I'd assume that is the most common. I've also had a couple 7" but I've never had a 5.5" barrel although I know they exist.
