wheel assembly

Tire mounting system

A wheel assembly is the complete unit that attaches a wheel to a vehicle, including the wheel itself along with the tire, hub, bearings, and mounting hardware.

In automotive contexts, the term often encompasses brake components as well.

The mechanic replaced the entire front wheel assembly after the accident.
