A rule of thumb I've always followed is 1/8" for flat wheels (ie colsons, kit wheels, etc), and 5/32" or 3/16" for blue nitrile. The properties of the blue nitrile tread allow for even the slightest amount of contact to affect turning, and because they grip the carpet so well the increased drop is sometimes needed to ensure there is no contact.
