An assembly comprising:
- a wheel hub that is rotatable about an axis, the wheel hub comprising a first mounting boss and a second mounting boss that is spaced apart from the first mounting boss;
- and
- a brake rotor that is disposed on the wheel hub, the brake rotor comprising a mounting flange that comprises:
- a first mounting flange side;
- a second mounting flange side that is disposed opposite the first mounting flange side;
- a first mounting flange flank that extends between the first mounting flange side and the second mounting flange side and that engages the first mounting boss;
- a second mounting flange flank that extends between the first mounting flange side and the second mounting flange side and that engages the second mounting boss;
- and
- an inner mounting flange side that faces toward the axis and extends between the first mounting flange flank and the second mounting flange flank;
- wherein the first mounting flange flank and the second mounting flange flank are axially tapered such that the first mounting flange flank and the second mounting flange flank extend farther apart in a direction that extends from the first mounting flange side to the second mounting flange side and are radially tapered such that the first mounting flange flank and the second mounting flange flank extend farther apart in a direction that extends from the inner mounting flange side away from the axis.
