why are american school busses’ back tire built like that

I just watched a quiet place: day 1 and realized the bus looked like school busses I usually found while watching american shows. Why are the rear tires of the bus designed too far to the center hence the bus looks unbalanced?

The turning radius depends on the wheelbase. If you want to have a big bus that can still turn relatively sharply, you want short wheelbase.
