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

Doesn't sound like a good idea does it? I've never tried it. Not sure I would.
@snottyotter you'd think so but the bloody things don't really work - there's nothing to 'hold' the adjustment point in place, and they seem to get re-set over time. It's the only thing about spyres that is currently garbage.

You could use a centrelock -> 6-bolt adapter and then shim that?

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.
