When you say measure the chainline, how do you mean? can i do it without putting a chain on? It seems that the hub is too narrow!! even if i tried to space the sprocket, there wouldn't be enough thread!
but i'm guessing loads of people do this, so there must be a way?
You can get a new rear wheel build on a wider hub like a miche. Or get a shorter BB and move everything inwards from teh crankside. I dealt with my chainline problem by redishing the wheel out as far as I could to the right and getting shortest possible BB without having the crank or chainring hit the chainstay
