If you would like to be able to turn while in the traction mode putting your traction wheels on the inside might be a good idea. Like you said, the longer the wheelbase the harder it is to turn. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not so much.

The designer needs to identify what they are trying to gain by having two separate sets of wheels and make decisions accordingly.
