(Assuming the 2015 game allows for such a design.)

Please note that that picture does have an issue in the corners - you need a frame member that is actually in the corner, otherwise your frame perimeter would be wrapping around the front and back wheels, which isn't allowed. Structural standoffs between the wheels isn't the issue, it's what to do in the corners!
