Claim:
1. A wheel assembly, comprising: a wheel defining a width and having a centerline extending perpendicularly to the width; a hub positioned substantially within the width of the wheel and having an inner surface and an outer surface; a brake disc coupled to the hub and having an outermost surface proximate the inner surface of the hub and defined by at least a center portion of the brake disc, and the brake disc having an innermost surface generally opposite the outermost surface and defined by at least an upper end of the brake disc, and the innermost and outermost surfaces of the brake disc is positioned laterally outward of the centerline of the wheel; a first plurality of fasteners each having an inner end configured to engage the brake disc and an outer end, each of the first plurality of fasteners extending along a first longitudinal axis between the inner and outer ends; and a second plurality of fasteners configured to engage the first plurality of fasteners for coupling the hub to the brake disc and the wheel assembly, each of the second plurality of fasteners corresponding to one of the first plurality of fasteners and having a second longitudinal axis collinear with the first longitudinal axis of the corresponding one of the first plurality of fasteners, and the inner and outer ends of the first plurality of fasteners being positioned laterally outward of a centerline of the wheel assembly.
