ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly (10) for a vehicle comprising a rotor (12) having a central portion (14) with a periphery, a wheel mounting surface (16), and a hub mounting surface (18) opposite the wheel mounting surface (16). A hub (26) and a wheel (24) are mounted to the rotor (12) in a sandwich arrangement. The rotor (12) has a recess (30) about the periphery of the wheel mounting surface (16) of the central portion (14). The recess (30) enables the wheel (24) to be mounted on the rotor (12) to isolate clamping forces of the wheel (24) to prevent the wheel mounting forces from creating a moment which would move the disc portion (20) of the rotor (12) out of radial alignment with the wheel (24), i.e., to prevent runout of the rotor (12).
