That is why I asked here. The people answering technical questions for companies tend not to know or cannot give out the answers to out-of-the-box questions.
Thanks again for the advice everyone.

If you have the wheel already give it a try. With a wheel dish of 1/2" or so it is quite possible that you may not need to replace the spokes. The only way to be sure is to try it.
I agree thought that company tech support is usually poor for questions that are out of the ordinary.
