No... if you are using OMNI wheels (with the rollers at 90 degrees to the wheel axle) then you need them at 45 degrees in the corners.

If you are using mecanum wheels, the rollers are at 45 degrees to the wheel axle, and should therefore be mounted inline on each side (just like you would do for tank drive with 4 independent motors using regular wheels).
