If the forks are steel I'd say you'd be fine to just pull them slightly apart to get the hub in.
It's a little inelegent however- so if that bothers you then try respacing the hub.
Thinking about it I need to space my rear axle out 3mm on either side- last time I used washers, which whilst a fine practical solution always bothered me in terms of how it looked.
Where can I get 3mm spacers for a 10mm axle that will look the part?
