I'm building Chopper so that's what they're made for. You can likely get them to work with others by adjust lengths.

I'm building a Chopper droid and the Vex omni wheels specified in the plans are out of production. I instead got the Vex 3.25" (260mm Travel) Omni-Directional Anti-Static Wheels part number SKU: 276-8026. Instead of the printed axle shaft I designed these to use an M6x80 bolt. The Vex wheel is kept centered by the printed parts and the bolt provides a far stronger axle. The design allows the wheel with the square bore to ride on the round bolt. 

I suspect these will work for other droids if you adjust the widths. If not, hopefully they provide some ideas for how to adapt these wheels to your droid.
