Spreading the rear 10mm on a decent steel frame should not be a big deal - I am riding on a frame that was at 120mm and is now at 130. (And I am a big boy.) The problem is what you do to stuff in the spreading process. Personally, I'd price out how much a good shop or buiilder would charge to do it. If you can afford it, let them do it.
