The size of the tires and wheels greatly influences the behavior of the car on the road. AVTOVAZ recommends installing tires and wheels of a strictly defined size on Lada 4×4; only in this case the manufacturer guarantees the service life of chassis and suspension components and assemblies. In the review, we will tell you what the size of the wheels affects during the operation of the machine and what recommendations the manufacturer gives.

About winter tires on Lada 4×4

When choosing tires for the winter, use the table above. In addition, it is allowed to use winter tires (M+S) of the above dimensions and index Q with a corresponding limitation of the maximum vehicle speed (up to 160 km/h).

Choose winter tires on your Lada 4×4 that are as narrow as possible so that the pressure of the car on the surface is greater, this will improve traction. Also remember that wide tires are more sensitive to the ruts on the road.

Sizes 235/75 and 240/80 R15

If the car is used for trips into nature (fishing, hunting), then it makes sense to bother installing more solid tires.
This will allow you to operate the car on any off-road conditions. But, for installation you will have to make some modifications, otherwise the new wheels simply will not fit into the wheel arches. The first thing to do is lift the suspension. This will increase ground clearance and eliminate the need to widen the arches. To do this, you can use a lifting kit from AvtoVAZ. It includes everything you need. The quality of the parts is quite high, you can also look at offers from companies producing tuning parts. Raising the car is not enough. It is necessary to modify the gearbox; the existing ones cannot cope with the increased load. Instead of the standard gear ratio of 3.9, 4.44 is installed. The last thing to do is increase the disc offset. To do this, use light alloy spacers. For greater reliability, it is advisable to install a hub with double-row bearings in the steering knuckle; they are more resistant to loads.

There are plenty of off-road tires of these sizes on the market. Choose the option that is most suitable for the cost, their quality is approximately the same.

Conclusion

In fact, the choice is quite large, but if you want to make a truly off-road car, you will have to tinker with modifying the suspension.

The choice of tires for R16 wheels is not large; most often they choose sizes 185/75 R16, 175/80 R16, or 215/65 R16. Due to the paucity of choice, many SUV owners install R15 wheels on their Lada 4×4.

Thus, the choice of tires will increase significantly and you will be able to choose the appropriate tires for certain operating conditions. In addition, a car with such wheels will look more stylish. In addition to standard tires for R15 wheels, you can install 205/75 R15 tires.

Finally, install alloy wheels on your Lada 4×4 and you will get a stylish SUV!

When choosing wheels, you should take into account the full diameter of the wheel; it should not differ much from the standard one. Compatibility table for Lada 4×4 tires and wheels:

Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.

Don't forget about the rim width:

When installing tires or wheels that differ in parameters

from those recommended by the factory, you can:

• be refused warranty repair of the chassis;
• be stopped by a traffic police inspector, who has the right to draw up a report on the car’s non-compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations;
• fail to pass technical inspection.

Standard sizes

Before choosing wheels and tires for the VAZ 2121 and 21214 Niva, you should carefully study the sizes of their standard, factory wheels. From the factory, this car was produced on wheels with the formula: 5J x 16, H2-ET = 58, DIA = 98, PCD = 5 x 139, 7. Accordingly, alloy wheels for the Niva should be the same, or slightly larger/smaller the maximum size allowed for this model.

In order to better understand what we are talking about, you need to know the decoding of the standard wheel formula. Thus, you can choose wheels and tires for the VAZ 2121 and 21214 Niva, correctly. Explanation of the formula:

• 5J – this number means that this wheel can accommodate 5-inch tires. Depending on the tire manufacturer, the allowable size may be 1 inch less or more. The letter “J” means that this disc has only one side.
• Number 16 is the diameter of the wheel rim assembly.
• H2 - indicates that the design of the wheel rim provides for the presence of two hangers. Khanty are special protruding rings located on the edge of the rim. They serve to ensure that tubeless tires are securely fixed, especially when the force of the road surface moves onto the working plane of the tire. Simply put, they secure the tires during maneuvers and are mandatory on off-road rims.
• ET – designation of the disc overhang size in mm. Of course, they are allowed to disdain, but only to a lesser extent, and no more than 1 cm. Remember, the smaller the offset, the greater the distance between the wheels of Niva 2121 and 21214.
• DIA – hub diameter size in millimeters.
• PCD is a designation indicating the number of holes for mounting the wheel and the diameter at which they are located.

As mentioned earlier, on the Niva 2121 and 21214, it is possible to install slightly larger or smaller wheels. So, the most successful choice would be the wheels from the American prototype - the Chevrolet Niva. They are ideal for fastenings and have the following dimensions:

• 0J x 15 ET = 48 – for stamped options;
• 5J x 15 ET = 40 – for the option with cast samples.

It is best to select the appropriate rim diameter after you have decided on the choice of off-road tire.

What does the size of tires and wheels affect?

The smaller the unsprung masses

(this includes a lot of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.

If we talk about manufacturers who make wheels specifically for VAZ cars, then it is best to use products from KRAMZ. They have an anti-shock, stable design, and relatively light weight, thanks to the material from which they are made.

Wheels from the Volga will fit on the Niva

Dear Volga drivers, please tell me whether Niva wheels are suitable for Gas 2410? The bolt pattern is the same 5x139.7, but I don’t know about the offset and other things. And then the option turned up to buy excellent size 17 wheels that were on the Niva, so I’m in a stupor as to whether they will fit. And the same question, but about UAZ wheels, the bolt pattern seems to be the same

guys... greetings... the problem is finding wheels for gas-31029 205*70*14... interchangeability from the Niva only with spacers, if set to 15? So without spacers, what wheels can be replaced?

From UAZ 15e, they rest against the upper threaded and steering rod. You need to install an 18mm spacer. and more. Longer studs are needed. And behind them they will scratch the tires on the springs.

In general, everything is simple: the Volga has 0 offset on its rims, and the Niva has 45-50. those. If you put standard Nivov wheels on a Volga (I mean standard in reach, not in diameter), then they will stupidly rest against the body and will not stand up at all. BUT, Mr. Sprut, you're in luck) I have five-centimeter spacers for Volgov hubs, just for tightening up Niv wheels. If necessary, write in a personal message.

When choosing universal tires, you should not install wheels with a radius higher than 15 mm due to the profile of the rubber.

You should try the wheel on the car, since the bolt pattern indicates that the studs should fit perfectly into the holes for them, and after installing the wheel, the nut should make at least 6 full turns before it is tightened with a wrench. Only in this case can you drive a car without fear of breaking the wheels.
