I realize that the edge would stick out, but it would only be significant at lower speeds when smaller turning radii's are used. At higher speeds the turning radius is much larger and thus requires less turn angle.

Also I think I can design it so there is no edge/gap on either side of the vehicle even when positioned to turned to full. I think it will require some geometry that is a bit more complicated then circle but I pretty sure it could work.
