Single speed conversion to coaster brake

Single speed conversion to Coaster Brake

A friend has a road bike he converted to coaster brake.
I am interested in doing the same with my 2009 Fuji touring bike converted to a single speed.
I would like to make it have a coaster brake.

I looked at this:


Shimano Coaster Brake/Alex DC19 Rear Wheel


Coaster Brake Series Rear Wheel
Wheel Size: 700c
Rim: Alex DC19
Rim Color: Black
Hub/Brake Compatibility: Coaster
Tire Type: Clincher
Cassette Body Type: Single Cog Driver
Rear Hub Spacing: 124 mm
Rear Axle Type: 3/8" bolt on
Skewer Included: N/A
Hub Drilling: 36
Spoke Info: DT Swiss Industry
Spoke Color: Silver
ISO Diameter: 622 / road / 29"
Rim Material: Alloy
Valve: Presta
Valve Length: Short 32-40mm
Rear Wheel Type: Single-Speed
Weight: 1,180.0 g

but the rear hub spacing is 124 and I believe my Fuji is 130mm.


Any other options?
Can I jury rig this wheel and hub?

Thanks,
Alan
