The axle is approximately 163mm. Just measured it by eye using a tape held above it through spokes so very approximate!
Depends on width of your dropouts but another approximate measurement was around 5mm of thread showing when nut done right up.
Reason I could make these measurements is because the wheels are sat in my garage as I had to replace them. The threads stripped on the fixed side as I couldn't stop the cog from slipping back however hard I did the lockring up. Could well be user error as I maybe should have used a wider cog or spacers, although have used cog before and it was fine on other hub. So worth looking closely and using a spacer if necessary.
