1. An integral brake carrier for a vehicle disc brake having a brake disc, comprising:
a disc-encompassing frame portion having two parallel bridge struts and two frame portions arranged parallel to a brake-disc axis of rotation and connected to the two bridge struts; and
a fastening flange configured for attaching the brake carrier to an axle flange of a vehicle axle,
wherein at least one of the two frame portions widen in a direction from a side of the disc-encompassing portion facing away from the fastening flange, to an outer edge of the fastening flange, the widening being an increase in distance from a plane of the disc-encompassing portion, and
at least one of the bridge struts is provided with at least one side planar surface tilted by an angle away from a right angle relative to a side facing the brake disk, wherein the at least one of the bridge struts has a portion with a trapezoidal shaped cross section defined in part by the at least one side planar surface.
