Converting Shimano Hyperglide to Singlespeed?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a new wheelset which comes with Shimano 105 (FH-1056) hub and a Shimano Hyperglide 8speed cassette.

I understand that the Hyperglide system has different grooves, I've done some research but I can't seem to find what I need to know.

- do normal singlespeed kits work with Hyperglide grooves?
- if not, do specific ones exist for Hyperglide grooves?

- then do I need to redish the wheel afterwards?


another thing is, that hub is spaced to 130, but the frame it'll go into is spaced 120. would the spacing be adjustable on a hub like that (with a cassette)?

thanks in advance for the replies, it's quite urgent!
