You could do it, but if it were my bike, I would either add a 2-mm spacer on each side of the wheel... or actually, I'd move the axle to the left and add a 4-5 mm spacer to the LEFT only, to make it work like a bona fide 135-mm wheel. Or, if I were to buy a new wheel, I would simply get a wheel mounted on a MTB hub... like a touring wheel.

Basically, the 135-mm hub will give you a wheel with much less dish – i.e. much less vertical spokes on the right side – and therefore a much stronger wheel than a wheel built on a 130-mm.
