The rebate changes the centre to flange distance very slightly, and this is easily the least important measurement, as anybody with a grasp of trigonometry will know. It takes a big change in this dimension to make the jump from one spoke length to the next, which is why we use the same spoke length for inbound and outbound spokes, even though the inbound ones are effectively about 5mm closer to the centreline. Your rebated holes actually mean the difference between inbound and outbound will be less than for a normal hub.
