Default Street Bob trees to Fat Bob trees

If I swap my SB trees for FB trees and keep the SB wheel hub is there a disc spacer available that will move the disc across enough to fit into the caliper properly?

Anybody know how thick the space needs to be? Presumably half the difference between the width of the FB trees compared the stock SB trees.

Anybody else done this? Anything else to worry about, e.g. will the FB axle work with it?
