It's fine. When you (inevitably) break enough spokes to decide you want a new wheel built, get a 140mm hub. It's fine 'til then.
Is it a freehub style (with a cassette) or a screw-on style with a freewheel? If the latter then anything heavily laden will probably write-off the axle soon enough anyway. It won't be you, it's just the limitations of the design. Freehubs FTW!
So you don't think pinching 2.5mm each side would be an issue?
