I've never had a bike with 753, but had a 531 Trek with 126mm spacing. I actually used to run 130mm wheels no problem (even without spreading the stays). Others with more experience using that tubing (and a RS) can chime in, but my guess is that it would be just fine, as 4mm is a pretty small amount.
