A 130 wheel in a 135 frame is a so-so thing, particularly if it's a small-wheeled bike with short chainstays. The dropouts will sit at an angle which will try to bend the axle as you clamp the wheel in place.
I'd rather get the right sized wheel, or respace the 130 to 135 - which is often doable w/o replacing the axle.
