The metric/imperial mismatch would presumably just make the bearing centres not quite as tight on the axles, which might make the wheel rattle slightly, but not sure it would introduce any sideways slop? I'm thinking that truck-washer-bearing-spacer-bearing-washer-nut should be able to be tightened down, without putting any sideways pressure on the bearings, as long as flange inside the wheel <spacer width.
I think I should try doubling up the washers on the truck-side of the wheel, to eliminate any interference from the truck, then the same with the bolt-side.
Those bearings seem like a good idea, but only really eliminate the need for spacers, which I have.
