LordC,
If you didn't care much about that front wheel you could grind a bit off the right side nut or spacer on that hub,and shim(with thin washer) the left side to move the rotor a bit to the right.
I'm extremely wheel rich because of the 4 sets of Katrina wheels I have/am rehabbing-and the 10 other parts wheels- so I'm a bit to casual about destroying/modifying things.
Cheaper than a Avid 7, but selling the 5 and buying a 7 might be just a $30 difference. If the wheel/hub is nice you wouldn't do it.
When SB weighs in his advice is always the best and most considered from all angles-safety,cost, ease of doing etc.No surprise, he is a pro with decades of experience. Nice guy too-never any snide comments . Our/my advice usually involves some shortcomings- frequently with safety given short shrift.I'm a bit casual in terms of safety-I don't consider it enough.
Luck,
Charlie

I am thinking that with a fully adjustable disc brake caliper, like an Avid BB7, 135mm would work on this build.
