what are you on about?
the disc size has nothing to do with it

it's the thickness of the dics hub which means it's going to be the same across the board
the onyl reason you'll have issues is if you decided to put stoppers on that need different wheels to clear the calipers

if you needed a different ofset you could have the bells fabricated thicker if need be.

but you will find that most big brake suppliers make the bells to the same thickness as a standard disc, therefor not effecting ofsets etc

If they set the wheel out that much, does it mean that the hub part is about an inch thick ?

Prob because the caliper is huge and it needs this to retain the std wheel!

A 10 to 20 mm would not really affect much imo
