So, my question is: Do you think the size difference would be a problem? do note that I plan to change all of them, and not just swap the ugly ones, so the size would be uniform.

5mm = .0196850394 inches
3/16" = 0.1875 inches

oh sorry.. obligitory "should I?": should I?
Shouldn't be an issue. It's not likely that the "5mm" bearings were precisely that size anyway.
