Were yours older models? What brand? I ask because all the modern Shimanos (CB-E110) and KTs and SAs are 110mm OLD. IIRC even my old Bendix hubs and Stingrays were 110. The frame being off at 105 would not be uncommon for a low budget coaster bike. All the cheapo bikes that I have owned have had spacing that's been off a few mms one way or the other.

Coaster brakes are usually quite narrow, fit in 110-114 mm spacing, though they can be fitted to frames with wider spacing by adding washers along the axle.
