A friend of mine is a design engineer at Goodrich Landing Gear Systems, and he took me out on the production floor one night after hours. The brake systems are really compact, I am positive that they could fit under a 17 or 18 inch wheel, it might need to be deeper than 7 inches though. This stems from the fact that many 737-200 airplanes use a 14 and 15inch wheels. Granted many other use 19 and 21inch wheels.
