To repeat, I only noticed this because I'm running a Brembo 2 piston rear caliper for my footbrake and I believe from pad to pad it's 6mm and I have a 5.5mm thick rotor in it. For me, the 2mm was raining on my parade. For a stock caliper that has like 15mm of space between pads, it won't matter but your wheel will be a bit offset.
Sometime this week I will take the wheel of my street bike and see how tightly the stock spacers fit to see if perhaps I'm just being too anal about this remaining gap on my sprocket side. If they fit tighter than my current setup does I'll pick up an 07/08 hub and take some measurements on it vs the 03-06 hub. Perhaps the 07/08 comes with a thicker hub.
nobody cares about your facts, measurements or experience. this is the internet buddy and im right cuz i say i am
