Be very careful regarding how you interpret items in parenthesis within the rulebook. As was demonstrated by <R16> last year, statements within parenthesis are not part of the official rule.

I'm not saying "sideways" wheels are or are not allowed, only that statements in the rules within parenthesis should not be overly applied.
