It might be helpful if you can post a pic of the wheel you want to use. Include a close up of the hub itself. Good luck

You don't even need to buy a shorter axle. A couple of minutes with a hacksaw and file will give the same results. Also, I believe 135 mm Parallax hubs can be respaced to 130 mm but you will have to lose the rubber nds seal.
