Thanks for the info! I can't even find a framebuilder in my area. I spoke with the head mechanic at the LBS and he said he was able to spread the seatstays enough to get the wheel on and that it should be fine.
If I find that I'm struggling too much with that rear wheel, I may see if I can look into that.

When you pick up the bike, try the rear wheel. That way, you know soon whether it's wide enough or not.
You don't want to find out you can't get the rear wheel back in when you're trying to change a flat on the side of the road.
