Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use Timbren Axle-Less system # A20RS545 in a tandem axle set up. You would need 2 kits though. Tandem applications will work out fine but that is the maximum recommended by Timbren because if a third system was used it would cause the front ones to drag more on turns. So tandem, good to go, 3 or more, won't work.

Since you want to use a larger wheel size you'd need to go with the higher rated Timbren Axle Less kit part #A35RS545. The wheel flange on the smaller hubs of the other kit can't accommodate the larger wheel diameters.
