145 mm spaced rear wheel in a 135 mm hole

I am thinking about getting this set of wheels for a touring bike I am building for myself. the frame is a Trek 730 multitrack.originaly a hybrid,but full chromoly steel and a great ride for a big guy like me. Can the shimano hubs in this set be spaced down by 5 mm on each side? Or if not ,how bout 2.5 mm each side and spread the frame 5 mm? I had a set custom built around this set of hubs in late 98 and he built them to fit a 135 frame,but I am not sure how he did it.
If it can be narrowed evenly on each side,would it need to be redished to center the wheel? (I dont think it would,but there might be a detail I am missing),thanks for any opinions or answers
