Not significant. Just as an example, the props on the plane I fly are much heavier than the wheel assembly, much larger in diameter, and rotate faster. All of that equates to higher procession. Granted, the props will precess in pitch and yaw, while the wheels would precess in roll and yaw. But if you are rolling on final at a rate faster than you pitch on takeoff rotation, you're doing it wrong.
