I used a 10mm solid rear axle on my Huffy mountainbke, whose wheels use a 7s freewheel and with 135mm hub spacing.
The axle length had to be great to accommodate the hex nuts and thick aluminum dropouts, but I had a Sansin Tandem axle that was 180mm or so and it has lasted through two seasons of off-roading.
