Hi, I am interested in these, could you tell me the exact dimensions of the mounting flat plate (diameter of where the screw hole is) and also the total height of the wheel? Need to check they would fit. Thank you!

@anele sorry for using both sides of the tape, didn't think at the time but it looks confusing...apologies.
The top of the plate is 3cm and the height is 3 inches. I hope i measured accurately !
