Abstract
A vehicle wheel assembly has a vehicle wheel with a number of angularly spaced mounting bolt receiving apertures, a wheel hub with axially inboard and outboard surfaces and a plurality of radially outwardly protruding bosses interspersed with clearance spaces and a disc brake rotor having a like plurality of radially inwardly protruding bosses interspersed with clearance spaces. A first set of threaded fasteners couple the wheel to the outboard surface of the hub and a second set of threaded fasteners couple the rotor to the inboard surface of the hub. Each hub boss includes an axial depression in the region of the bore for receiving one of the second set of threaded fasteners allowing a head of the threaded fastener to be axially recessed inboard of the wheel receiving portion of the outboard hub surface.
