I'm not familiar with your frame, but some old bikes used US standard sizes instead of metric.Those bikes use 5/16(~8mm) front and 3/8(~9.5mm) rear axles.A little bit of filing will take care of the difference.Also,some old forks use 95mm spacing.I had to file and spread the fork on my 80s shogun a little to use a modern wheel.
