I'm not sure I'd worry about the place of the wheel bolts as long as it is in the dropouts. If the chain stretches, say 1/2", then that will push your wheel back just under 1/4", and you will be close to being too far back (but then it will be time to change your chain.

As [MENTION=393028]hardboiled718[/MENTION] mentioned, getting the wheel off to fix flats will be important.

KMC does sell 1/8" half-links that should work.

It won't mach perfectly, but as long as you keep pedaling, nobody will notice.
