this will help having to adjust the barrel adjuster.
What if the adjustment isn't 1.5mm?
You also have to be a bit careful adding shims. Too much and you may strip the lock ring.

Another option that is typically frowned on, but will work for a trainer specific wheel is axle shims like these.

To do it "correctly, you would add on the DS, remove an equal amount from the NDS and redish the wheel.
his results in a slightly weaker wheel. It's also a 50/50 crapshoot which wheel needs it.

IF you can make the adjustment by just turning the barrel adjuster a few clicks, that's the way to go. Just remember how many clicks and which way for each wheel.
It's much simpler.
