A wheel module for a vehicle includes a tire, a steering unit, a driving unit, a braking unit, and a suspension mechanism. The steering unit is configured to output a steering force for the tire. The driving unit is configured to output a driving force for the tire. The braking unit is configured to output a braking force for the tire. The suspension mechanism is supported by an upper end fulcrum and a lower end fulcrum so as to reduce vibration or impact transmitted from a road surface. An imaginary straight line extending along a vertical direction and passing through a center of the tire in a radial direction and in a width direction of the tire is defined as a tire central axis. The lower end fulcrum of the suspension mechanism is positioned away from the tire central axis when viewed from a side surface of the tire.
