My guess is that they are not running straight mecanum on a flat surface.
The plaction wheels with treads are more than 8". Compare them side by side even with AM 8" omniwheels and they are definitely not the same height.
We ran the same setup with omniwheels on the end and they dont even touch the ground. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is 935 doing this to get all 4 wheels on the ground, with a better turning ability?
