Or you can shim them in to the correct position, assuming they are six bolt. And you don't need negative shims :)
I had this problem with XC race wheels on what is now Branwen's Cannondale - it was actually a real pita because the hope and old cannondale hubs put the rotors in such a different place that you couldn't even get the wheel in if you tried a direct swap. Ended up shimming the shit out of the cannondale hubs.
The calipers were direct mount IS, so no, no adjusting in five seconds there.

All these problems that I'm only hearing about after he sells me the bike!
Sounds like a case for new wheels at the least

Surely shimming the rotors can only correct for a lateral offset from the hub centre rather than a difference in rotor thickness.

My main wheelset is centrelock, which are thinner and with a 'lower chainline' than the thick rotor 6 bolt set. Not sure centrelock shims are a good idea and I'm struggling to find negative shims for my 6 bolt hubs ;)
Seems less effort to just swap tyres over when I need them

That reminds me... Got some chubby wheels to fit GF's Fatbike last summer and I should shim the rotors on whichever set of wheels has least offset.
Never seen a shim for centrelock though.

Use the same brand of rotors on both sets. If the hubs put the rotor at different offsets, that's 2 secs with a 5mm allen key, assuming it's a postmount caliper.
