The reasons are as stated above.

If you look at the A340 -600, the wing landing gear pitch trimmer trims the gear for rear wheel touch down first, but the centreline gear is trimmed to touch front wheel first. If you look along the alignment of the gear the wheels that touch first are almost in line, for obvious reasons.
