disc fork spacing question - and your recommendations appreciated

i am a newby when it comes to discs

I am specing a mootour TI touring bile withn disc brakes. On the rear the spacing is 135mm, using a chris kink ISO disc hub. on this bike we are using 700c rims front and back.

the question is about the front fork I should use for disc brakes. I understand that the 135mm spacing on the rear will allow for a wheel to be built without dishing it to allow for the disc.

on the front, are the dishing issues the same? should the dropout spacing be 135mm for a hub like a chris king ISO disc front hub? (also 135mm I think).


and if so, how about recommending a high end lightweight touring fork with disc tabs for 700c wheels.
