Default Rotor question

Is there any notciable differnce in the thickness off different BBK's or after market factory rotors, in regards to the thickness of the hub material?

What I mean are some so much thicker or thinner that they would affect the offsets of the wheels vs stock rotors?

Larger surface area = better stopping power, and less stress on the brake setup. Thicker rotors are less likely to warp then traditional rotors. As for the thickness of the hub, it goes along with the amount of stress you can put it through before it fails. Hope that helps.

there can't be any meaningful differences - rotors, like wheels, have offsets to them, and those offsets are dictated by the application. No BBK is going to make a wheel sit further in or out vs another
