By "right next to each other" I assume you mean "in the same plane" and not "coaxially".

Such being the case, a correct inverse kinematic translation would require that each of the 3 wheels in a set be driven at slightly different speeds.

If you just chain them together and drive all 3 at the same speed, you'll get some scrubbing of the contact patch which means additional loss of power and traction.
