A luggage piece may include a main body (110) defining at least one compartment with a wheel housing joined to the main body (110). The wheel housing may include a first portion (125) and a second portion (130) with the first portion (125) and the second portion (130) defining an angle of greater than 90° and less or equal to approximately 140°. The angle may often be selected to be within the range of approximately 100° to approximately 120°. The first portion (125) and the second portion (130) may further be configured so that a wheel (120) joined to the wheel housing does not extend beyond a rear side of a main body (110) of the luggage piece. The wheel housing may further include a central portion (160) joined to the first and second portions (125, 130). The central portion (160) may define at least one axle hole (195) sized to receive a portion of a wheel axle (165) of the wheel (120) therein.
