that would let you get it sideways for sure, but there would be no resistance to going sideways, so you couldn't correct the drift at all. good thought though.
um, i totally put the wheels on the axel in a terrible way. so, they didnt last too long, i am now puting a PVC sleeve over a go-kart wheel and tire and am going to try that out. From what i hear, the mod wheels do last quite a while when used correctly, i overheated my spindle and melted the wheels
