Axle diameter problem?

Finally getting some parts to build up my old Derosa SLX circa 1990-92 or thereabouts. Had settled on some mid - late '90's Campy, but when I got to wheels I figured I would use and extra set of Industry 9 I25's that I have with Torch hubs which I love. I believe I will have the clearance with tires and such BUT when I started to play with it, it looks like the axle may be too large in diameter to fit in the drop outs. Did axle diameters increase as an industry standard? Guess I didn't realize that and will now need to buy new wheels to match. The old ones are an old Shimano 600 with 8spd freehub.

Thanks!
