A 116 spool is not the same size as a 120 spool.  Here is a size comparison

Length of the spool:
116 - 2.856" - 72.5mm
120 - 2.580" - 65.5mm

Width of the part where the film is wound
116 - 2.814" - 71.4mm
120 - 2.5" - 65.3mm

Diameter of the end of the spool
116 - 1.25" - 31.7mm
120 - .95" - 21.4mm

Diameter of the middle of the spool
116 - .465" - 11.8mm
120 - .45" -  11.4mm.

The 120 spool i measured looks kinda suspicious... i think it may have come
with a holga, so it may be different than other 120 spools.  I made the
measurements with a pair of dial calipers, so they should be pretty
accurate.

The image size on my ica folder (which takes 116 film) is 4.2" by 2.42"
(10.6 by 6.1 cm.)

Here is a picture of the two side by side:
