this one works ok on the same measurements as stidds uses, wish me luck, first time doing this

does this sound right

front
rim diameter 368mm
hub width 73mm
hub diameter 42mm
177mm spoke length required

rear
rim 368mm
hub width 57mm
hub diameter 47mm
174mm spoke required

this is based on a 36 spoke wheel, 3mm spoke holes, and 3 cross pattern, just making sure, does 177 and 174 sound about right for a normal old skool spoked wheel?
