I generally don't buy things to experiment without having a reasonable chance of success, so no... I don't have the wheel.

As for the amount of dish, it's typical for rear wheels to have nearly vertical drive spokes. With only a 2" wide hub and roughly 10" drive spokes, the left side spokes will be at nearly 10-1/2 inches. Bringing the rim back to center would move the spoke threads about 1/4" and that probably means the drive spokes aren't long enough and the left side spokes will poke into the tube.

The next thing will be to figure out where to get an inexpensive 48-hole rim.
