Beringer Wheels on an F1

I'm not getting much from Beringer on which axle I need for fitting up their 500 x 5 wheels and tires on my project. Their catalogue shows only tapered axles, but the wheel is not tapered. It's 1.25 inches side to side through the bearing. The axle i have stops it from going fully on.. if the shoulder wasn't there, the 5" length seems about right.
Have any of you mounted these before? I'd appreciate your help. Thanks

Ron----I show that Beringer use tapered axles. Any possibility the bearings are reversed in the wheel?

Tom,
No, both halves of the wheel have the same size bearing.
ID 1.25 inch with a full length sleeve over both. I do see in their catalogue they only offer tapered axles. 😕 confused....
