If drilling into a Pine block, I like to use a 3/32" bit.
For something like Basswood, you may want a tiny bit snugger.

3/32 is too big and 2.5mm is way too big. #43 is about right. The problem with Awana wheels is they vary widely in wheel bore size. Sometimes the axles are very tight which means you have to slightly reduce the axle size. Using a #43 bit ensures your axles will fit but the holes may need to be relieved.
