The drive side has a cone nut, spacer, and a lock nut where the freewheel slides over to attach to the hub. It is a 150mm hub with 30mm of spacers to make the 180mm spacing for the dropout. So that's why I'm assuming a 177QR or 170mm bolt on hub would work as long as there 10mm axle.
read up on cold setting the frame, I've never tried beyond 10mm. 20mm or more is fairly extreme. Expect potential alignment issues and cracking the welds on the stays. I'd still recommend against it, but it's your bike afterall, good luck
