A brake rotor for a braking system of a motor vehicle is provided. The brake rotor includes a disc section for rotating about a longitudinal axis and engaging a brake pad assembly. The brake rotor further includes a hat section for attaching to a wheel. The hat section has a stepped surface spaced from the disc section along the longitudinal axis, and the stepped surface defines a recess for spacing the wheel and a portion of the stepped surface from one another when the wheel is attached to the hat section.
