^^ On some cheap/low end frames the dropouts aren't even equal, let alone filed to the same depth so you often seen them with the axle not tucked all the way in (otherwise wheel would rub horrifically). So long as both nuts are seated well against the dropouts (square to them) and the wheel is straight then likely no problem.
