Would it be a problem to remove the 1.5 spacer from the drive side as well as the .5 from the non-drive side? Specifically, I'm concerned about the drive side spacer and getting the chain too far outboard.
Seriously, don't worry about respacing the hubs, unless it's too annoying to get the wheel in and out.

I have run a 130mm hub in a 126mm frame (without respacing/realigning, just squeezing it open) for several thousand miles, and absolutely zero problems with the wheel or frame to report.
