Wheel spacers?

I found this spacer on the front end of my sig truck tonight. I pulled the wheel off to inspect my brakes and I found what appears to be a wheel spacer. Is this stock or did somebody add this? And if it's aftermarket will it cause problems or is it okay? It appears about a quarter inch thick. It's in the bottom of the pic on the lugs. Sorry for the crappy pic but it's late and I'm tired.

I see the hub and I see the rotor but I don't see any spacer. Looks normal to me.

Look below the square notch on the rotor and you'll see another piece of metal about a quarter inch thick. I can't quite tell if it's another piece added on or part of the rotor but t looks like a groove or gap is between them

It's just a chamfer machined on both the rotor and the hub. Nothing to worry about.
