The article states:
Wolftooth increases the length of the disc-brake side of the axle 6mm in the
rear and 10mm in the front. Then a spacer is inserted behind the brake rotor,
with some extra long rotor bolts
That is not the case for the front hub.
For the front, an extended end cap, and extra 10mm, is used on the DRIVE (not
disc) side to offset the hub TOWARDS the disc side. So no rotor spacer is
needed. You soimply need to re-dish the wheel.
That is why "Boostinating" the front is such a realistic and relatively easy
option.
It is also why Hope offers their Boost adapter for only front hubs:
