Just bought some wheels with Chosen hubs and the front is assemetric. I seem to remember Hope used to do this
Why?

wot u mean "wider"
disc-side needs a bit more room to fit the rotor in ?
"Boost-corrected" 100mm hubs presumably have the non-brake side spaced an extra 10mm (to preserve the right rotor spacing on the brake side)

Donyou mean the flanges are asymmetric, or the bearings are different internal diameters like a Lefty hub?
A lot of hubs are asymmetric, the biggest advantage that I can see is it means you only have to order one spoke length if the rear non drive side has a tall flange!
I've never been convinced by any other bullshit reason, for example if the disk side was larger to deal with disk forces, nope not buying that.
