differences in spoke wheel hubs between models?

I am looking to get a used GS hub to lace in an aftermarket DID 2.50X18 rim for my new GS front wheel setup to properly run a wider tire. I was wondering if there was any difference in the bare hub shells between the smaller bikes and the bigger bikes? Even if the axle diameters are different I wasn't sure if the outer bearing diameter and overall hub shell width would be universal between all spoked wheel hubs. Any ideas?

1 member who found some spare hubs in his shop said he had a hub believed to be off of a smaller GS, but that it was a dual disc ready hub as I believe they all are. This is a clue in the right direction if even a 250 or gs400 would come with a dual disc hub when that model never came with dual fronts. Can anyone else confirm the o.d. bearing sizes of the hub shells as being universal? I have no idea if there is a difference in front axle diameters between different models, but I know there are some differences in fork widths.
Thanks!
 
the bearing o/d size i would guess being pretty universal. the inner bearing i/d is different but you WILL be able to match a bearing to fit your axle diameter
