Nope. You need a new hub.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I have an AtomLab hub that is a 12x135 t/a. The axle has aluminum spacers on each side that makes it 150. I talked to Mike at AtomLab and he says its legit. Only thing is that you lose the point of having a 150 (wider, stronger, etc.).
If you have a standard 135, I dont think there is anything you can do.

hadley makes a hub body spaced for 150 that can be dropped to 135 spacing via a new cassette carrier. it also drops you from 8/9 gears to 4/5. not a bad thing depending on what you are doing. i've been hunting for one to use on my trials bike (i only use 3 gears).
also for BMW race links, they use a 135 hub in a 150 spacing, but that is to accomodate for the floating brake arm.
as far as i know there's no sure fire safe way to space a 135 up to 150. (unless you have the 150 hadley hub body with the 4/5 carrier then switch it back to teh 8/9)

I dunno if this does anything or even has to do with it........but I'd imagine if you used a 135mm hub on a 150mm frame with adapters or what not you probably have to re-dish your wheel. I always thought the point of running a 150mm rear wheel was to have a dishless wheel?
You would have to do some funny dishing of your rear wheel if you ran spacers. There's something nagging in the back of my head that makes it seem like a bad idea to run big spacers on either side of the hub - I'm not an engineer, but it just seems like there's a big weak point where, and possibly a lot of stress on the bearings.
Hmmm, I dont see why youd have to redish... The rim is still where it should be, the drops are just farther out. However I do agree that its not a good idea, and thats why Im selling that wheel and Im pissed at the dude who sold it to me who claimed that it was a 150 (and when I told him it wasnt he went on and on about how its fine and itll work etc--JERK).
<edit> thinking more about it, maybe youre right--depending on how the wheel was dished to begin with, you might need to realign slightly...
