Those trucks (axle assemblies) should be fine too as long as they are not a lot wider than the board itself. If the wheels stick out a little bit no huge problem but more than a half inch and you will almost certainly trip on them while pushing/kicking until you get used to it.
You'll just have to adjust kingpin tension so they don't flex too much and you get wheel bite on the deck.

Make sure you mount them with the kingpins on both of them to the center of the board and not rotated out toward the nose/tail !
Easy mistake to make if you haven't built one already.

Oh no, Well then we got our first problem...Those truck axels (already ordered) are already a bit wider then the board, but the wheels look kinda wide, I may have to reavaluate specs...I did the math on that thinking, wide and stable, not considering to much of a good thing, and comprimised usability....Begining to think building one is not as easy as it looks.

Omg that thing looks scary to ride on, I bet it goes over the little rocks nice though, Those wheels look like the ones on my nephews little toy dump truck.
