You should be good.
I recently re-spaced a 135mm hub to 132mm and used an axle for 130mm. I'm confident and I weigh near 240

Thinking about this now, I wonder if one should set the DS protrusion slightly longer?
I think if I was centering an axle, if it were .5mm long on the DS, I'd call it good and maybe better?
