There is provided a wheel system for a vehicle, the wheel system comprises a stator, a rotor, a rotational bearing and an inwheel motor. The inwheel motor comprises a motor stator and a motor rotor. The rotor is coupled to the stator via the rotational bearing to rotate about a rotational axis. The motor stator is connected to the stator. The motor rotor is connected to the rotor to cooperate with the motor stator to generate an electromagnetic force to rotate the rotor relative to the stator about the rotational axis. The motor stator has a center defining a central plane extending through the center and perpendicular to the rotational axis. The central plane has an inboard side and an outboard side. In operational use, the inboard side faces toward a center of the vehicle, and the outboard side faces away from the center of the vehicle. The rotor has a mounting surface configured to be connected to a wheel rim. The mounting surface is arranged on the inboard side. The rotor couples the mounting surface to the stator only via the inboard side.
