That would create a problem with the front.
The rear will probably spring 4mm OK, but front forks are far more rigid.

I built a set of wheels for an early 70's Japanese 10 speed that had similar front spacing.
I found an HB-M290 hub that happens to have a 2mm spacer on each side that I was able to remove.
