what What size can beare the nuts holding the front wheel?

I am trying to install a front wheel inon a bike - the axle of the wheel is threaded, but I haveI'm having trouble finding out what size thread it is, and what nut can go on this. The size of the thread on the axle is the same as of aan 8 mm screw, but a standard M8 nut (with 13 mm hex) does not fit on it. Do bikes have some special kind of nut there?

If I look at the thread, and at a standard M8 screw, the thread on the bike axle is a bit more dense then on the screw, but I am not aware of existence of two kinds of M8 nuts, so far every M8 nut did fitI've seen fits every M8 screw.
