The current record seems to be 1,536 wheels. Mammoet, the heavy-lift company, ganged together enough self-propelled modular transporters [1] to move a ship on land.[2] Each unit has 8 independently powered and steered axle lines, for 16 wheels. As many modules as necessary can be bolted together to make a huge moving platform. They're all networked, and coordinate steering and power.

The page disqualifies combinations where a "propelling unit" can be driven separately from a "trailer". This seems to fall under that same classifications; this is multiple attached vehicles, not a single vehicle.
