The outer lock is a locknut, so removing it would expose the axle it is threaded onto and there would be nothing to maintain the bearing preload.
Plus sometimes the locknut or other outermost nut has to be a specific diameter to fit into the recess in the dropout properly.
Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer and see if they do a conversion kit to 135, assuming that turns out to be the spacing.
