192 ran wheels just under 3.5in this year and will most likely be going with 3in for the offseason and next year. 3in is probably as small as we'd go for use on a WCD, might go smaller with a swerve drive though. Small wheels make a huge difference when trying to make the drive gearboxes small and light.
I for one would love to see the work of art that a 192 swerve would be.
