I wouldn't worry about it. Just be prepared to check your carry-on in the extremely unlikely case that they call you out on it.

That said, checking personal items is rare.
My carryon roller bag (legal) has been checked a couple of time but my roller computer bag (not legal) has never been check.

I have had my carry-on weighed and I've had gate agents advise me that my carry-on would not fit (sometimes they're right, usually they're wrong and it's always on a CRJ-200 or ERJ-145) but I've never had one bust out a measuring tape.

Welcome to FT!, glaszirkus
Have merged your query into an existing discussion,
At the top of this thread, there is what we call a "wiki" and there you will fit an listing of items meeting the UA size requirements. There have not been many recent entries and not sure if any have wheels.

I can tell you for sure that none of the personal items in the wiki have wheels. Someone else has asked this before, and the wiki has not been updated since then.

If the question is, "can I carry on a bag with wheels as my 'personal item' on a basic economy fare?" that's not likely to work. You probably won't get past the check-in counter.

Look at "rolling briefcases" that also have a strap (so you can carry it past the agent).

I have a Solo Dakota overnight rolling case, and that will fit under the seat on A320, CRJ-200, ERJ-145, ATR and just about any other plane I've flown on.
Admittedly, you do lose ALL of your under-seat leg room doing that, so not ideal if you're a long legged individual or on a longer flight.
It WON't fit under the seat on a 737 except the middle seat, as the positioning of the seat legs is wrong. I hope that's helpful.

Doubt it would not fit the sizer, depending on which one you have those bags are roughly 16" x 14" x 9" vs UA size requirement 17 x 10 x 9 --- even with the 1 inch of grace provided by the sizer.

If OP's question relates to basic economy restrictions, they don't actually stop you from using the overhead, they just won't let you carry-on a bag that exceeds the personal item dimenstions. I don't know how much play there is in the sizer, but 3.75 inches is a pretty significant overage.

Not a guarantee, of course, but I think it's not correct to say something that is 3 inches over in one dimension "won't be let on".
