^ I think that makes sense, either way I know what I am trying to say
in short, make sure there is enough clearance on the inside right of the caliper to accommodate a thicker rotor

I understand what your saying, but i just dont think an aftermarket company would make a thicker rotor unless thay made an entire kit. A different adapter would need to be made the change the centerline for different thicknesses, which can work, but then were just getting crazy here. I would assume the rotor thickness is the same, or within .5mm. I think larger than that would need the centerline moved. Like you said for on your brembo, you want the next version .020 thicker, which is your .5mm. You have no complaints as it stands now, and i guess no one else would either, but for future ones i would make it thicker to center it that much more.
You could measure your new rotor and stock one to see.
