If you were using that wheel in your old frame, then it has already been respaced once to 130mm: it was originally 126mm OLD.
So you can remove those spacers and the one you highlighted: it's there to space the wheel out to 126mm, it extends through the freewheel.
Scroll down the page linked to above, to Axle Spacing Adjustment.

My old Peugeot frame broke unfortunately so I bought a new (to me) one and am in the process of moving all the components over. Unfortunately, I have discovered that the old frame must have been forced wider at the rear dropouts at some point; the conversion wasn't done by myself. The old frame has 130 mm rear dropouts, the new one 120 mm. The wheel therefore doesn't fit. Is there some way I can remove some of the nuts or other bits of the rear wheel to get it to fit? In particular, I'm looking at the part with a red arrow in the image -- if I removed this but added a smaller washer it would fit (and the chainline looks good). Is this possible?
