\((2, 3, 5)\)-distributions, which are maximally non-integrable bracket-generating rank-\(2\) distributions on a 5-manifold, were studied by \textit{E. Cartan} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (3) 27, 109--192 (1910; JFM 41.0417.01)]. The author describes Nurowski's conformal structure for some \((2, 3, 5)\)-distributions. These distributions also arise from the configuration space of two surfaces rolling without slipping or twisting over each other, which is realized as the An-Nurowski circle twistor distribution. The author studies the case of hyperboloids of constant negative Gauss curvature. Under some conditions, the author finds the change of coordinates to the flat Engel distribution and writes down the Lie algebra of vector fields that bracket-generate the split real form. Moreover, the author studies another case of rolling spheres. This case is related to real rank three Pfaffian systems with \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) symmetry and complexifications of such distributions are discussed.
