I am assuming this means my feet will just be 5mm closer together and the chainrings will be 2.5mm closer to frame.

Is it still going to work?
So, you've already changed the crank from an "e300x" The BB for the double version of that is listed at 113mm.
You need to look closer at the last link in post 4.
Also look at the various spindle lengths. They are frequently NOT symmetrical.
