Depends on whether the a/c has a castering gear or not. B747, B52 are examples that come to mind- due to the length of the wing it is impractical to hold a wingtip low all the way to touchdown, because you would drag a wingtip, so the gear will caster to allow you a pretty decent angle between flight path and runway.
Found it: B52 main gear can pivot 20 degrees. From the cockpit that looks like you're going to fly off into the cocktail lounge.
The 777 actually has steerable main gear bogies along with cameras to see where you are. Pretty cool.
