The size of tires and wheels not only adds style to the car, but also greatly influences the vehicle's performance on the road. Each manufacturer indicates acceptable standard sizes, and AVTOVAZ is no exception. In this review, we will look at the wheel size of the Lada Largus.
Usually, the manufacturer, depending on the modification of the car, indicates several acceptable wheel sizes, Lada Largus is an exception. The instruction manual indicates the only wheel size for all trim levels: 185/65R15 . Lada Largus wheel parameters: 6Jx15, offset (ET) for R15 = ET50. Wheel hub bolt pattern 4x100. Everyone knows that the Lada Largus is a 2006 Dacia Logan MCV adapted for the Russian market. The technical characteristics of the foreign car indicate exactly the same wheel size.
Based on reviews and surveys of Lada Largus car owners, we can summarize:
- The most popular tire size with a diameter of 14 inches turned out to be 185/70R14 , by the way, it is indicated in the table with tire pressure. Another less popular option is 165/80R14.
- The majority use the standard wheel size 185/65R15 . Another popular size of the same radius is 195/65R15 . A few installed 205/60R15 and 195/60R15 tires on their cars.
- Fans of larger wheels install tires: 205/55 R16 , 195/60 R16 and 195/55 R16.
- R17 wheels: 205/50R17 , 205/45R17, 225/45R17 or 215/50R17.

Review of the best summer and winter tires
It is better to have separate sets of tires for driving in winter and summer. For driving at sub-zero temperatures, a good solution could be products from Belshina’s company – Artmotion Snow. There are no tires on it.
However, this model is perfect for traveling within the city in winter. Its cost will be approximately 1,900 rubles.
Marshal I Zen KW15 will cost the buyer a little more – approximately 2,900 rubles. There are also no studs, but such tires make you feel more comfortable on the road. The maximum permissible speed on the highway is 190 km/h.
Landsail Winter Lander will be an excellent solution for drivers who practice an aggressive driving style and prefer to drive at high speed. The tires hold the road well, the H speed index allows you to move steadily at speeds of up to 210 km/h.
BF Goodrich G-FORCE WINTER2 is a typical Velcro. Despite the relatively low cost, this model boasts good grip on the road surface, regardless of its condition (rain, snow, ice). The strong sidewall makes it easy to take turns.
Goodyear UltraGrip Ice+ comes with 250 studs per wheel. The presence of steel spikes allows for excellent “holding” of the road, regardless of its condition. Even ice will not become an obstacle for the driver - a car with studded tires will take any turn perfectly.
Many owners are quite frivolous when choosing summer tires. However, good tires will make the car more controllable and stable on the road. Falken FK-452 guarantees good grip in any weather. The presence of a large number of furrows eliminates the process of aquaplaning.
BF Goodrich G-GRIP is an inexpensive and very durable tire. Many owners note its almost complete silence at any speed. Good grip on the road is ensured by the shape of the tread.
Maxxis MP10 MECOTRA allows you to reduce braking distance to a minimum. The cost of such a model is relatively low. However, at temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius, the tires begin to make noise.
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-1 allow you to comfortably drive a car of almost any weight - regardless of the number of passengers or the presence of cargo. It differs in the depth of its tread. A good choice for those who often travel on dirt roads.
Dunlop SP TOURING R1 is grippy on both dry and wet pavement. It is distinguished by its insensitivity to ruts. However, off-road it does not show its best side. The use of recommended tires with a nominal pressure is the key to safe operation of the vehicle.

Tires directly affect fuel consumption, vehicle cross-country ability, its behavior on the road, and noise level. The appearance of the vehicle also depends on the tires. AvtoVAZ recommends a certain wheel size for Lada Largus.
Let's consider the parameters allowed by the manufacturer and study possible variations. Let's get acquainted with the top 5 winter and summer tires (according to owner reviews).
Lada Largus is represented by three models (Largus R90, F90, Cross). Options with 7 or 5 seats are produced (except for the F90 cargo vehicle). The basic requirements for tires and wheels differ only for the Lada Largus CROSS. Parameters important when choosing wheels are indicated in the user manual. The recommended index of load capacity and speed, the standard air pressure are also set in the instructions.
Model | Size, load capacity index | Center diameter wheel holes (DIA) | Radius between holes (PCD) | Number of nuts, pcs. | Wheel width, inches | Disc offset (ET) |
R90 | 185/65R 15 88 H | 6J | ||||
F90 | 185/65R 15 92 H | 6J | ||||
CROSS | 205/55R 16 91 H | 6J |
Owners consider the categories of acceptable sizes. One of the reasons is the range of prices; manufacturers have better options among non-standard tires. Sometimes rubber remains from an old car.
Some people think that the larger the wheel, the better. Let's learn how to choose safe wheels.
How to choose the right tire diameter
The choice of tires or wheels for the Lada Largus affects not only the external design of the car, but also the behavior of the vehicle on the roads. Car manufacturers indicate acceptable dimensions. Before installing the appropriate components, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic parameters. After all, replacement of products is carried out in order to improve driving performance.
The Largus instruction manual indicates only one acceptable size - 185/65 R15. Factories install stamped wheels on Largus 15 inches. In addition to the standard size declared by the manufacturer, car enthusiasts install 14-inch tires with a dimension of 185/70 R14. Among 15-inch tires, the tires chosen for Largus are 195/65 R15; 205/60 R15, 195/60 R15 are rare.

The size of tires and wheels affects not only the vehicle's performance, but also its appearance. All designs indicate the corresponding parameters, which allow car owners to choose models for their vehicle. This review examines wheel sizes for the Lada Largus.
Which summer tires are best for Largus Cross cars?
When choosing, the speed and weight index, brand and tread pattern are taken into account. The production date of the products plays an important role - if they were made more than 5 years ago, it is better to refuse such a purchase.
The pattern is divided into two types: asymmetrical, directional and symmetrical. The last option is considered the most popular. Since the symmetrical pattern is suitable for most cars. This option is considered as the most convenient for moving around the city. The main reason for choosing this pattern is low cost.
The directional tread pattern allows car owners to drive off-road, providing ideal directional stability and handling. Unfortunately, there is some noise when driving off-road.
When replacing wheel structures, it is necessary to select standard models. When installing large components, you will have to choose the appropriate tires with a low profile. To move on a flat road, it is better to use low-profile tires. This tire improves dynamic performance and handling.
Selecting wheels for Cross
Lada xray wheel size.
tires and wheels for Lada Xray, wheel size for Lada Xrau The manufacturer did not just add the word Cross to the name of Largus. This means that the new car is more capable of off-road driving. It’s not for nothing that the designers decided to increase the vehicle’s ground clearance. For the Cross, larger wheels are installed - R16. AvtoVAZ does not give you the opportunity to choose others - you only need to install the 16th diameter.
Designers, of course, provide additional parameters for wheels on the Lada Largus Cross:
- bolt pattern - 4×100;
- width - 7.0J;
- departure ET 40;
- centering hole - TsO 60.1.
However, Cross has not been on the market long enough for the ideal wheel size for a model from a third-party manufacturer to be empirically determined. However, the younger model, the regular Largus, has been on the market for a long time. Therefore, it makes sense to turn to owner reviews. However, the common phenomenon of Largus drivers changing 15-inch wheels to the diameter of R14 Cross is not suitable. What's the point of lowering the ground clearance in a car designed for off-road use? So, the car will again become a station wagon, all the efforts of the designers will be nullified.
When choosing wheels for Cross, you need to consider the following parameters:
- The rim size may vary by 1-1.5 inches. This is the standard deviation for discs with a diameter greater than 15.
- The width is less than 25-30% of the width of the rubber profile.
Such deviations in theory are allowed from the factory wheel of the Lada Largus Cross.
Based on reviews and surveys of Lada Largus car owners, we can summarize:
- You can’t get away from size 16 at Largus Cross;
- when installing wheels of a different size on a new car, you can easily lose warranty service - this is the main factor in the near future;
- installing disks of a smaller diameter neutralizes the increase in ground clearance, which makes such a change unprofitable in terms of cross-country ability;
- installation of other wheels, especially larger ones, requires adjustment in width so that they do not extend beyond the arch;
- The ABS system will have to be calibrated if the size is changed significantly.
Most car enthusiasts prefer not to touch the disc, but to install tires with different sizes. This allows you to achieve the desired characteristics in terms of aesthetics or driving performance. However, you need to remember that changing the tire size entails consequences similar to replacing the disc. This is especially true for profile size. Low-profile tires often experience so-called punctures on our roads - irregularities bend the profile and wrinkle the rim. This leads to expensive repairs.
Safety comes first - so you should be careful when changing the design of your car. It is worth noting that the manufacturer selected wheels for Largus Cross with unique parameters that are rarely found
It is unknown for what reasons the choice fell on these particular discs. There are designs with a smaller reach parameter, but they will be wider. Because of this, the load on the bearings will change, but the main thing is that the sides of the car will always be in the mud. Even in dry weather there will be a layer of dust on the sides. Experienced car enthusiasts recommend installing KiK wheels, which are certified by AvtoVAZ. This way you can maintain the warranty on your new car from the manufacturer.

What size and wheel alignment angles for Lada Largus
Increasing the width of the products themselves will also have a positive effect on road holding, on the accuracy of car control, grip on dry roads will become better, and driving on uneven roads will become more comfortable. However, resistance to aquaplaning will deteriorate, noise will increase, fuel consumption will increase, and the tires will wear out faster.
On the Lada Largus the wheel parameters are as follows: 6×15/4×100 D60.1 ET50:
- width - 6 inches;
- bolt pattern - 4×100;
- standard diameter - 15 inches;
- diameter of the central hole - 60.1 mm;
- the offset is 50 mm.
What is the tire pressure
The tire pressure level is specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Model | Front tire pressure, kgf/cm² | Rear tire pressure, kgf/cm² |
R90 | ||
F90 | ||
CROSS |
Constant monitoring of this parameter is necessary. Fluctuations to a lesser or greater extent affect the behavior of the car, efficiency, and driving safety. Let's look at the relationship more specifically. Pressure higher than specified:
- the tire is harder, the comfort of movement decreases,
- the risk of damaging the wheel increases when hitting a stone, hole,
- grip on the road deteriorates,
- braking distance increases,
- the tread pattern wears unevenly,
- wheels rotate easier
- machine stability improves.
Pressure below normal:
- fuel consumption increases,
- rubber wear increases (due to an increase in the contact patch area),
- car steering accuracy deteriorates,
- stability on the road surface decreases (due to changes in the angle of inclination),
- the risk of skidding increases.
About summer tires for Largus 185 65 R15
According to car owners, a tire from Renault Logan 5.5×14/4×100 D60.1 ET43 is ideal, but the Lada Largus will need a tire size with parameters 185/70 R14. Factory-assembled 16-inch Largus Cross alloy wheels. They have unique parameters: width is 6 inches, drilling is 4x100, offset is ET50, CO is D60.1. The declared size of parts for the Lada Cross corresponds to 205/65 R16 tires. AvtoVAZ supplies Continental Premium Contact tires with a low profile (55% of the width).
The smaller the unsprung mass (this includes the mass of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you install wheels that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced to 0.2 seconds.
DIY tire replacement rules
In order to save money, many car enthusiasts are thinking about replacing tires themselves. The process is not the easiest, but doable. To work, you will need a balloon, mounting blades, a jack and a compressor or pump. When performing the procedure, you should take into account some tricks, without which this event is doomed to failure.
Removing the tire from the rim
First you need to remove the wheel from the hub. Then it is laid on the ground so that the nipple nipple is at the top. All the air is released from the tube or tire, in the case of a tubeless tire, and the nipple nipple is recessed inside. You need to stand on the wheel with your feet so that the edge of the tire separates from the rim of the disc. Sometimes extra force may be required if the rubber sticks to the metal.
A mounting blade is inserted into the gap between the edge of the tire and the disk, then a second one. The main task is to turn the sidewall of the tire beyond the edge of the rim. If the wheel has a tube, it is pulled out through the resulting gap. If the tire is tubeless, you need to unscrew the entire side of the tire by the rim, then unscrew the second sidewall of the tire using the same edge of the rim and remove it from the rim.
When working, you must apply considerable force and be careful not to damage the disc. Cast products made from light alloy materials are especially fragile.
Mounting a tire on a rim
Before installation, make sure that the tire is the correct size and has no defects. It is recommended to remove the balancing weights and the old nipple. When installing, you should take into account the markings on the tire, usually the direction of travel in the form of arrows.
To facilitate the installation task, you can apply a soap solution to the edge of the tire and the rim of the disk, but within reasonable limits, otherwise the tire will slip. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. First, one edge of the tire is put on, after which the second one is wound on the rim.
Recommended wheel and tire sizes for Lada Largus
The size of tires and wheels not only adds style to the car, but also greatly influences the vehicle's performance on the road. Each manufacturer indicates acceptable standard sizes, and AvtoVAZ is no exception. In this review, we will look at the wheel size of the Lada Largus.
Usually, the manufacturer, depending on the modification of the car, indicates several acceptable wheel sizes, Lada Largus is an exception.

Tire size for Lada Largus
Acceptable parameters are indicated depending on the modification of the vehicle; the Lada Largus tire in this version is an exception. The operating manual indicates the only tire size for the Largus car for all trim levels - 185/65 R15.
Product size Lada Largus
Design parameters for Lada largus are designated as follows: 6Jx15, offset (ET) for R15 = ET50. The hub bolt pattern is 4×100. The Lada Largus car is adapted for the Russian market. The technical passport of the Largus foreign car indicates the same wheel size.
Many motorists set the standard wheel size to 185/65 R15. Another popular size of the same diameter is 195/65 R15. A few installed 205/60 R15 and 195/60 R15 tires on their cars.
Many motorists like to install large tires: 205/55 R16, 195/60 R16 and 195/55 R16.
R17 wheels: 205/50 R17, 205/45 R17, 225/45 R17 or 215/50 R17.
Exclusive sizes: 215/35 R18 and 215/40/18.
Wheel offset
The international designation ET is from the German word Einpresstiefe. The smaller the offset, the larger the car's track. The wheel protrudes from the wheel arch of the car. There are wheels with negative offset.
"Lada-Largus-Cross": review, technical characteristics, description
Reach is one of the most important indicators of a wheel that affects the stability and controllability of a car. With a reduced offset, on “widely” spaced wheels, the force on the steering wheel, as well as the load on the hub bearings, increases significantly. A wheel with an increased offset is shifted deeper into the wheel arch and can, when turning or large suspension strokes, touch vehicle elements, which will lead to damage. When selecting new wheels, it is not recommended to deviate from the standard offset value by more than 3–5 mm in one direction or another.
Diameter and width
Rim diameter is usually specified in inches. It must match the tire diameter.
The width of the rim is the distance between its edges. Usually it is also indicated in inches, although manufacturers give the tire width in millimeters. The current trend is to increase the width of wheel rims and, accordingly, tires.
People like to tune these two parameters (diameter and width). Most often, they strive by all means to increase the seat diameter and width of the disk. At the same time, the tire, in order to fit in the wheel arch, becomes low-profile, which warms the soul of many. But at the same time, we should not forget about GOST for the depth of potholes on our roads - there is such a document! A hole up to 5 cm deep and with a sharp edge has a right to exist. And no one will be punished if you damage your car in it. Now imagine what will happen to low-profile tires in such a pit, even a “GOST” one. For example, with standard rims on Hyundai cars with a diameter of 15 and 16 inches, owners manage to install... 18-inch ones on Solaris! For example, with a tire measuring 215/35 R18, this solution provides only 75 mm of clearance between the tire seating surface and the road. Such a tire will most likely suffer (the bead may be punctured) even in a “permitted” hole.
However, there is an alternative approach. The bottom line is to try to install wheels of the minimum size, just so that they do not cling to the brake mechanisms, and “catch up” with the diameter with a high-profile tire. Among the advantages of this method, we should note the softness of the ride and the lower price of small-diameter tires. For example, the design of the Hyundai Solaris chassis (and the Kia Rio platform) allows the use of 14-inch wheels. And with a tire measuring 195/70 R14, you get quite normal wheels - a little higher (less than 3%) than the original ones, measuring 185/65 R15. But the softness of the ride becomes like that of a Renault Logan.
It should be noted that the same options for using discs of different diameters are also implemented on crossovers. For example, on the previous generation Nissan X-Trail you can install 16-inch wheels, which is clearly evidenced by the re-rolling of this diameter. And the car came off the assembly line with 17- and then 18-inch wheels. Although there are known cases of using wheels up to 20 inches. Here, too, the only question is what do you want to get: a car that gravitates towards an SUV or a tough “sports barn”. The main thing is to know moderation in everything, because the engine and gearbox are not changed.
What has VAZ changed?
Now let's talk about how VAZ betrayed its size. Even on the progenitor of the first Zhiguli, the FIAT-124, the diameter of the circle on which the holes for the bolts were located was 98 mm. And since then, this size has been strictly observed on all VAZ cars, except Niva and Oka.
By the way, Italians are also faithful to traditions. For example, on the FIAT Albea, which was officially sold in Russia, it was possible to attach a wheel from a VAZ.
At the same time, the landing diameter gradually increased over the years and changes in models from 13 to 14 inches. But the latest Grants, Kalinas and Priors still use the 4x98 size.

But with the arrival of the French B0 platform, cars with a “round” size of 4x100 rolled off the assembly line of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. These are Largus and XRAY. Vesta can be added to the same list. This is how VAZ changed its historical size. Cheated with “French women”...
How to choose the right tire diameter
The choice of tires or wheels for the Lada Largus affects not only the external design of the car, but also the behavior of the vehicle on the roads. Car manufacturers indicate acceptable dimensions. Before installing the appropriate components, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic parameters. After all, replacement of products is carried out in order to improve driving performance.
The Largus instruction manual indicates only one acceptable size - 185/65 R15. Factories install stamped wheels on Largus 15 inches. In addition to the standard size declared by the manufacturer, car enthusiasts install 14-inch tires with a dimension of 185/70 R14. Among 15-inch tires, the tires chosen for Largus are 195/65 R15; 205/60 R15, 195/60 R15 are rare.
Let's summarize all of the above
- If you do not drive at very high speeds, are limited in money and the roads in your city are not of very high quality, feel free to purchase steel wheels for the VAZ Largus (but together with decorative caps).
- If the “appearance” of a car is of paramount importance to you and high-speed driving is not alien to you, then it is best to purchase alloy wheels. But you must be prepared for the fact that they may burst - then you will need to buy new ones, because alloy wheels cannot be repaired.
- If you are a fan of sporty driving and high speeds, then only forged wheels for the VAZ Largus will be the optimal solution for you. Their unique properties will allow them to be used for a very long time even under intense loads, because it is almost impossible to disable them. But the very high price of such wheels is the only drawback that prevents everyone from buying them.

Choosing the right wheels for Largus from the Russian manufacturer Lada is quite simple. But you need to know that there are two versions of the car - Largus and Largus Cross. The second version is distinguished by increased cross-country ability and some design elements. It is also equipped with alloy wheels of a larger radius. The usual modification is equipped with stamped and cast products, depending on the configuration.
Which summer tires are best for Largus Cross cars?
When choosing, the speed and weight index, brand and tread pattern are taken into account. The production date of the products plays an important role - if they were made more than 5 years ago, it is better to refuse such a purchase.
The pattern is divided into two types: asymmetrical, directional and symmetrical. The last option is considered the most popular. Since the symmetrical pattern is suitable for most cars. This option is considered as the most convenient for moving around the city. The main reason for choosing this pattern is low cost.
The directional tread pattern allows car owners to drive off-road, providing ideal directional stability and handling. Unfortunately, there is some noise when driving off-road.
When replacing wheel structures, it is necessary to select standard models. When installing large components, you will have to choose the appropriate tires with a low profile. To move on a flat road, it is better to use low-profile tires. This tire improves dynamic performance and handling.

What size and wheel alignment angles for Lada Largus
Increasing the width of the products themselves will also have a positive effect on road holding, on the accuracy of car control, grip on dry roads will become better, and driving on uneven roads will become more comfortable. However, resistance to aquaplaning will deteriorate, noise will increase, fuel consumption will increase, and the tires will wear out faster.
On the Lada Largus the wheel parameters are as follows: 6×15/4×100 D60.1 ET50:
- width - 6 inches;
- bolt pattern - 4×100;
- standard diameter - 15 inches;
- diameter of the central hole - 60.1 mm;
- the offset is 50 mm.
Increasing the width of wheels and tires
As the width of the wheel and, accordingly, the tire increases, stability and controllability improve, but fuel begins to be consumed much faster.
Wide tires help to “hold” the road better, since the grip and area of the contact patch with the asphalt is larger.
Regarding the disadvantages, we note that tires with increased width are prone to aquaplaning, which is dangerous at speeds above 50 km per hour. The Lada Largus runs the risk of drifting off the trajectory when driving through large puddles at speed. There is also increased noise and increased fuel consumption. This is why the correct size of tires and wheels is so important.

What is the tire pressure
It is important to check the tire pressure level before each trip. If the value is too low:
- adhesion properties deteriorate;
- rubber may burst during a sharp turn;
- the tread wears unevenly;
- fuel consumption increases.
Excessive pressure also causes problems:
- adhesion properties with the road surface deteriorate;
- the car reacts more sensitively to all road irregularities;
- the load on the main body elements increases;
- There are extraneous noises in the cabin.
You can familiarize yourself with the recommended pressure parameters yourself. Detailed information about this is located on a special metal plate placed on the car door. For front wheels, 2 is normal.
4 bars, for the rear ones - 2. 6. Moreover, the load, the number of passengers in the cabin do not have any significance.
To monitor tire pressure, it is best to keep a pressure gauge handy. Today you can buy it in any store - literally for 200-300 rubles. This amount is quite enough to purchase a mechanical or electronic pressure gauge.
