why are american school busses’ back tire built like that

Question

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?

Answer 1

Having a shorter distance between axles is important, as it improves maneuverability: a school bus is often involved in routes where sharp turns and turning around in neighborhood cul-de-sacs are required.
