No, it's required. However, be mindful of R31, particularly the part I made bold:

  • A. must not be greater than ¼ in. (~6 mm) deep, or
  • B. not more than 8 in. (~20 cm) wide
Some angle brackets on the side of the wheel modules that extend in to 6" from the corners would be adequate to comply with the rules.
