What wheels are on the Lada Vesta: wheel bolt pattern and tire size

What wheels can be installed on Vesta

What wheels does the automaker propose to install on the Lada Vesta?
AvtoVAZ does not recommend changing the tire size or offset, suggesting that only wheels with increased or reduced width be used. Wheels with a diameter of 15 inches can be installed in widths from 5 to 6.5 inches (remember, the base has 6 inches). And wheels with a diameter of 16 inches can be from 5.5 to 6.5 inches wide (the base is 6.5 inches). The same applies to 17-inch wheels on the Vesta Cross or wheels on the sports Vesta - if you wish, you can install narrower wheels, 5.5 and 6 inches wide, without violating the requirements and warranty policy of the automaker.

As for tires, AvtoVAZ allows the use of tires with other speed and load capacity indices. Standard 185/65R15 88H tires can be replaced with tires with load capacity index T. And 16-inch tires 195/55R16 91H can be with speed index 87 and/or load index T. Wheels on the Lada Vesta Cross size 205/50R17 89V can be replaced tires with a lower load index H.

What non-standard wheels will fit on the Lada Vesta

Although most car owners tend to enlarge their wheels to improve the appearance of the car, sometimes the opposite happens. For example, it is common practice to drive on larger diameter alloy wheels in the summer, and then take smaller wheels and a larger tire in the winter to make the car more controllable and softer on snowy roads. The best option for such a replacement is to install 185/65R15 wheels from the basic configuration. It is not recommended to install wheels smaller than 15th diameter, and we have not seen examples of such a replacement.

Vesta on 19-inch wheels

As for the maximum diameter, the critical height of the wheel assembly for Vesta is 660 millimeters. Therefore, not only the original 17-inch wheels are installed on the car, but also wheels with tires with a diameter of 18 inches. In this case, the tires should be no larger than 225/45 R18, and for some car owners they already cling a little to the wheel arch liners. True, on drive2 there is a case with installing 19-inch wheels, but this will require improvements in the suspension design. And in the case of installing 18-inch wheels, some tire sizes also allow you to lower the car, which many do. In any case, when choosing wheels and tires, you will need a calculator. Just sit down and calculate whether your purchase will fit into the wheel arches or not. Or look at our table below.

Is it possible to reduce the offset and install wider wheels? Do not forget that the manufacturer already recommends installing 17-diameter tires on 6.5-inch wide wheels with an offset of 43. That is, there are not many options here. The maximum permissible width of wheels on a Vesta is 8 inches with an offset of 38. In this arrangement, the wheels practically do not stick out and do not touch the arches. Anything more requires modification of the machine design. By the way, don’t forget that a smaller offset reduces the life of your wheel bearings. So you will have to either change it more often, or buy more expensive parts.

We also remind you that any replacement of wheels with non-standard sizes has advantages and disadvantages. By installing larger tires and wheels you will definitely improve the appearance of your car, its dynamics and stability. But you will have to pay for this with less comfort on bad roads and a possible increase in fuel consumption

In the case of low profile tires, which will most likely have to be placed on large rims, you will also have to get used to constantly monitoring the tire pressure, because the tires are more sensitive to this important parameter, as well as to shaking on uneven roads

Alternative wheel options for Lada Vesta are in the table.

Standard wheels

A car wheel consists of a disk and a tire, which have individual characteristics.

The AvtoVAZ concern indicates the standard tire size for the Lada Vesta car in the basic configuration - 185/65/R15 88 N (the manufacturer allows the use of T). It means:

• width – 185 mm;
• profile – 65% of 185 mm (120.25 mm);
• The tire must be mounted on a rim with a diameter of 15 inches;
• 88 – load capacity index 560 kg;
• H – speed index, up to 210 km/h (for T – up to 190 km/h).

Such tires under the name ArtMotion for AvtoVAZ are manufactured at Belshina OJSC; the products are characterized by moderate softness and good rubber wear resistance, low noise and excellent road holding. Belshina OJSC also produces tires with identical characteristics in a winter version - the ArtMotion Snow model.

In the basic configurations of the Lada Vesta, these tires are mounted on stamped steel rims of size 6J 15 ET 50 4x100 60.1 (as an option - light alloy models of the same dimensions ANNA-15 from the manufacturer K&K), which means:

• 6J – disk rim width (6 inches);
• 15 – mounting diameter in inches;
• ET 50 – offset 50 mm;
• 4x100 (PCD, bolt pattern) – the disk is secured with 4 bolts located around a circle with a diameter of 100 mm;
• 60.1(DIA) – size of the central (hub) hole.

For top-end configurations of Lada Vesta, the factory installs wheels with dimensions 195/55 R16 91 N (T allowed):

• width – 195 mm;
• profile height – 107.25 mm (55% of 195);
• R16 (mounting diameter of the disk) – 16 inches;
• 91 (load capacity index) – 615 kg;
• H (speed index) - up to 210 km/h (T is allowed - up to 190 km/h).

These EcoContact tires are supplied to AvtoVAZ by the German company Continental. They are mounted on light alloy wheels of the K&K company model Ptalomey-16 with dimensions 6Jx16 ET50 4x100 60.1, the geometric characteristics of which differ only in the mounting diameter - 16 inches.

For basic versions of Lada Vesta, installation of wheels of these dimensions on K&K alloy wheels is also possible as an additional option.

In the Luxe configuration of the Lada Vesta, for an additional fee, it is possible to install wheels even with 17-inch rims of the same model - Ptalomey-17.

For clarity, let’s summarize the correspondence between the sizes of tires and wheels of the Lada Vesta in a table.

This is interesting: How to determine whether all-season tires are or not

Wheels for Vesta

What is the bolt pattern of Chevrolet Niva wheels?
In addition to the basic parameters of the wheels, from which you can draw a conclusion about the correctness or incorrectness of use, there are other characteristics, as well as features that cannot be ignored if you want to avoid problems in the future

ET

The characteristic designated ET (disc offset) is the parameter that the manufacturer indicates in any case, and which should be kept in mind when selecting discs for the machine.

If you choose wheels of sufficient width, and at the same time having a reduced offset value, then the stability of the car increases, but the hub bearings begin to experience heavy loads, as a result they can collapse - and the result, alas, can be an accident.

Therefore, it is highly not recommended to reduce ET by more than 5-7 mm.

PCD

In this case, the value of this characteristic when selecting disks should be observed without any deviations. After all, if the value of this parameter for new disks differs from what is contained in the manual, the disks simply cannot be installed.

D

A number of brands make the hub hole diameter (D) larger - specifically so that the discs can be used on different cars. The only thing that will also need to be purchased in case of difference D is centering inserts. This is the name given to special rings for adapting discs to different car models. In other words, if you purchased discs with an inflated D, it’s not a big deal. If it’s the other way around, alas, you wasted your money.

Despite the fact that wheel manufacturers often take care of their consumers, a number of drivers are frankly lazy to install centering inserts - and, logically, when the car is moving over 100 km/h, the wheels give off a wobble in the interior and steering wheel, and if you don’t immediately guess why matter, any diagnostics will not show anything - as a rule, they sin on balancing, which has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Rim width

If the rims already contain rubber, then using wider or narrower rims than the standard ones can change the parameters of the plane of contact of the wheel with the road surface, which will cause the car's dynamics to suffer. Moreover, when driving on unpaved roads or on snow, tires with a wider rim will slip due to the low overall pressure on the surface - therefore, the width of the rim must also be taken into account.

Factory alloy wheels

Lada Vesta wheel sizes, standard and alternative

At the factory, alloy wheels are installed on luxury trim levels. If you have seen a Lada Vesta in the photo with 15 alloy wheels, it means that the driver of the car installed them himself, or it is a luxury one. Typically, the manufacturer installs products from the Russian company K&K. It is a leading manufacturer of die-cast wheels. He has been making rims for over 20 years since '91. Kik has reliable equipment. The company provides a substantial warranty on the wheels. The Lada Vesta in the photo on 16-inch alloy wheels looks beautiful and stylish. It is not equipped with alloy wheels, you can pay extra for them.

Lada Vesta is equipped with high-quality factory wheels. They have practical performance characteristics and most buyers do not change them for many years. But some people see the Lada Vesta in the photo on 17-inch alloy wheels and want to install these for themselves. Be aware that then you will have to install low-profile tires, the ride will become less comfortable. But the solution has advantages, discussed earlier.

Installing larger diameter discs

Large rims not only change the appearance of the car, but also affect its dynamics, maneuverability, and stability on the highway, and not always for the better.

When deciding on their installation, you should know the basic principle - the larger the diameter of the disk, the lower the height of the tire profile, because the size of the outer diameter of the wheel is tied to the size of the wheel arch - when turning, the tire should not touch or rest against anything at all steering wheel rotation range.

Testing the Lada Vesta over the course of a year showed acceptable wheel size options:

• tires for R15 wheels:

175/70 R15;

205/60 R15.

• tires for R16: 185/60 R16.

• tires for R17:

175/55 R17;

195/50 R17.

17-inch wheels were installed on the Concept version of the Lada Vesta. Technically, this sedan can also be equipped with R18 wheels, but the outer diameter of this wheel (669 mm), as well as the tire width (235 mm), differ significantly from the factory values ​​and cannot be considered in the real conditions of Russian roads due to the too low profile as practical - defects in the road surface will quickly damage both tires and wheels, the price of which, due to their size, is several times higher than the cost of standard ones.

The effect of large-diameter wheels and low-profile tires on a car

Positive:

• increasing the style of the car and the effectiveness of the exterior;
• improvement of driving qualities - dynamics, road stability, steering sensitivity;
• better “absorption” of potholes compared to a smaller radius;
• with a tire profile from 55 – increased durability of the suspension;
• reducing the braking distance;
• increasing the efficiency of ABS and ESP.

Negative:

• uncomfortable driving due to sensitivity to road surface defects;
• restriction of use on roads with defective surfaces;
• the need for increased pressure control;
• greater need for kinetic energy at the start - higher fuel consumption;
• higher cost.

Low profile tire pressure

This parameter, ignored by novice car enthusiasts, is very important when operating cars with any tires, and especially with low-profile ones. The required tire pressure is always indicated by the vehicle manufacturer in the operating instructions and in an accessible place on the body, for the Lada Vesta - on the B pillar on the driver's side.

Low profile tires require increased attention to pressure, as insufficient pressure will make the wheels and suspension even more vulnerable to potholes and rocks on the road.

Solex carburetor: modifications

What kind of bolt pattern is on the VAZ 2114

The basic design of these devices was developed by engineers from the French company Soleks.

The Dimitrovgrad plant later received a production license, and all other modifications were made by specialists here. The popular Solex 21073 was developed at DAAZ. Reviews about it are only positive. The mechanism is easy to customize and is highly reliable. DAAZ-2108 is designed to work with a 1.3-liter engine for VAZ 2108 and 2109. Solex 21083 was modified for 1.5-liter power units. The same mechanisms were equipped with models from the first batches of the VAZ 2110 with a microprocessor-based ignition system. On classic VAZ models, Solex 21053-1107010 was installed. VAZ Niva models were equipped with the Solex mechanism 21073-1107010. Now it has been replaced by an injector.

Alternative to standard disks for Vesta

Mainly just to give the car a more attractive appearance, many motorists install larger wheel rims on the Lada, namely R17 and R18. This means using tires with a low profile, which is associated with discomfort when driving over uneven surfaces. However, some car enthusiasts prefer to sacrifice convenience for the sake of beauty.

17th radius

R17 are considered the most popular alternative rollers for Vesta. They stand out against the background of the standard 15s. For these, tires with sizes 175/55 and 195/50 are suitable. Of course, the larger the radius, the higher the price. Therefore, on average, you will have to pay about 3,000 and 5,000 rubles for stamped and cast ones, respectively. Products of top-rated foreign manufacturers, namely castings with a beautiful and unusual design, can be valued at 15,000 or more.

R18

They were first shown in the concept version. Later, rollers of such a large size appeared on the Lada Vesta Sport and in the Exclusive configuration. The cost of disks is much more expensive than standard ones, so castings with an 18 radius are estimated at at least 9,000 rubles. Tires for such rollers have a size of 235/45, their price can also be expressed in large numbers.

Alternative color combinations

The latest fashion trends have been to combine different colors to create a contrast with the body shade. It is not surprising that now you can find products not only of all kinds of designs, but also of various colors.

For example, black discs are installed on a white Vesta for contrast. And, conversely, white ice skating rinks look great against a black background. Silver (classic) is suitable for cars of any color, as it is a universal option.

Today you can find fashionable solutions in the form of colorful edging around the circumference of the rim, most often a bright red color is used. The option is also universal; it gives the car sportiness and individuality, allowing it to stand out in dense city traffic.

The best manufacturers of alternative drives for Vesta

Among the manufacturers of rollers with a radius of 17 and 18 for Vesta there are both Russian companies and foreign ones from different countries. Among them we will highlight the most popular.

If desired, you can choose alternative wheel sizes depending on your financial capabilities, design preferences and other requirements.

Features of standard tires

Ladas delivered from the assembly line are equipped with Belarusian tires from the Belshina plant, which are designed specifically for this car and are of fairly high quality. The type of tires on the Lada Vesta belongs to the ART Motion brand. This fact suggests that during the production process the rubber undergoes a series of tests in accordance with Spanish standards.

The tires have shown excellent parameters in practice, guaranteeing a number of advantages:

• High controllability, including on water-filled asphalt. This is facilitated by special arc-shaped grooves located on the inside of each tire. These grooves play the role of a kind of drainage system through which water is removed from under the wheel.
• The outer part of the tire has enlarged relief blocks, which increase the vehicle's stability on sharp turns.
• The protector is selected in such a way that the noise level is as low as possible.
• Three longitudinal grooves are responsible for the directional stability of the machine;
• Low rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption and improves speed characteristics.
• Increased grip properties provide short braking distances and eliminate slipping.
• An important role is played by the low cost of this rubber with relatively high quality.

Continental tires 195/55/R16 Continental tires 195/55/R16 Lada Vesta in the “luxury” configuration is equipped with tires from the German manufacturer Continental in size 195/55/R16, which are among the best on the world market. The most suitable size of tires and wheels for Lada Vesta is 16 inches.

The factory set of wheels includes 16 or 17-inch alloy wheels from K&K. This company occupies a leading position in the Russian market today.

Caps for Vesta

Many car owners strive to ensure that their iron horse has a unique appearance. Not everyone has the opportunity to buy alloy tires, especially since high-quality models are not cheap, and alternative sizes will require different tires. In such a situation, it is optimal to put wheel caps on the wheels.

The main task is to improve the appearance. In addition to beauty, caps also perform a protective function, namely, they prevent dents, scratches and abrasions of the wheel rim.

Depending on the design, the cap can also keep excess dust off the brake pads, increasing their lifespan. As a rule, the cost of products is low. Usually the average price does not exceed 2,000–3,000 rubles for a set of 4 pieces.

Features of the caps

These accessories may vary in the shape of their profile (flat or convex). You can also buy metal options, but most often you can find plastic ones: more practical and inexpensive. By design, they can be closed or open, as well as in different colors.

Depending on the manufacturer, the caps may have different fastenings. There are models that are fixed with bolts. There are also those for which nylon clamps are sufficient. Plastic caps are much more popular than metal ones, because they are inexpensive, they are stronger and you don’t mind them. Their service life is not that long. The open shape of the caps does not hide corrosion well, but provides good cooling of the brakes.

The cost of products depends on various factors. The most acceptable option is a kit for installation on standard R15s; the original one will cost 1,500–2,000 rubles. Accordingly, the larger the radius, the higher the cost.

Installation of hoods

Any car owner can install them on Vesta with his own hands; there is nothing difficult about it. Before starting work, you need to clean the disk from dirt and corrosion. If necessary, it is necessary to correct irregularities and dents, if any.

There is a recess on the cap for the nipple for pumping air into the tires; it must be aligned with the valve on the wheel. Next, you should make sure that the metal ring on the inside is in the grooves of the latches (the ring ensures equal pressure around the circumference). All that remains is to place the cap on the disk and check the reliability. Additionally, you can use plastic clamps to secure the cap to the wheel more firmly: this prevents the accessory from flying out when driving, which is not uncommon.

Dimensions of the car Lada Vesta sedan, SW and Sw cross

There are no identical cars; the dimensions of all models are completely different, this is due to the manufacturer’s decision, engineering projects and other technical aspects of production. At the moment, the Lada Vesta family includes three sedan models, SW and Sw Cross.

Dimensions Lada Vesta (sedan)

The sedan of the Lada Vesta family belongs to the B class of cars, however, the total length of the car slightly exceeds the standard for cars of this class. Basically, the length of class B models varies from 3.7 to 4.2 meters. The full length of the vest is 4.4 meters, in all other respects the dimensions tend to the European standard:

1. Length - 4410 mm
2. Width - 1764 mm
3. Height - 1497 mm
4. Wheelbase - 2635 mm
5. Rear and front wheel track - 1510 mm

Dimensions Lada Vesta SW

The dimensions of the Vesta station wagon have changed slightly compared to the sedan, but in some aspects the same dimensions are used. For example, the length, width, wheelbase and track of the front and rear wheels remained unchanged, but the height increased slightly:

1. Length - 4410 mm
2. Width - 1764 mm
3. Height - 1512 mm
4. Wheelbase - 2635 mm
5. Rear and front wheel track - 1510 mm

Dimensions Lada Vesta SW Cross

The biggest body change was received by the station wagon in the Cross version. Almost all parameters have changed except the wheelbase, which is still 2635 millimeters. The car became a little higher, wider and longer, which made it possible to increase the comfort of staying in it. Ground clearance (clearance) has also been significantly increased, you can learn about this in a separate article here.

1. Length - 4424 mm
2. Width - 1785 mm
3. Height - 1532 mm
4. Wheelbase - 2635 mm
5. Rear and front wheel track - 1524 mm

About standard disks

Two types can be installed on Vesta: stamped and cast. Standard size recommended by the manufacturer: R15 and R16. Each type has its own characteristics, pros and cons.

Stamped

Stamped R15s are provided as a factory option as standard. The tire size is 175/70 R15. Choose stampings both from an official dealer and in many specialized stores.

Vesta alloy wheels

They are made from special alloys based on aluminum plus additives for rigidity and strength (strontium, titanium, magnesium). The manufacturing process for alloy wheels involves high pressure to produce a durable design. The final shape is achieved on a high-tech milling machine. The higher cost of alloy wheels is due to the complexity of production. Casting is lightweight, but the products are less resistant to mechanical damage.

Depending on the configuration, the Lada Vesta can be equipped with two cast and stamped wheels of different sizes:

• in the basic configuration R15 with tires of 175/70 and 205/60;
• in more expensive versions of the R16, stamped or cast (Luxury and Cross equipment) with 185/60 tires.

Unlike stamped wheels, alloy wheels come in a variety of designs.

Casting can be ordered as a separate option for any configuration or purchased in specialized stores. If for stamped ones you need to pay no more than 2,500 rubles (on average 1,500), then the cost of alloy wheels starts from 3,000 (R15) and 4,000 rubles. (R16) for one copy. Depending on the manufacturer, the cost can increase several times.

Oversized wheels

Such discs don’t just change the appearance of the car; dynamic performance, handling, and driving stabilization also depend on them. Often, all this data changes for the worse when replacing larger disks.

If you are interested in such a setup, always remember that enlarging the rim will certainly mean choosing other tires (necessarily with a smaller profile). The fact is that the outer diameter of the tire in any case cannot be larger than that recommended by the manufacturer (don’t forget about the wheel arches), otherwise the tires will scratch along the arches when driving (especially when cornering), and this, as you know, is not at all good.

During 12-month tests, the following standard sizes were successfully installed on the Lada Vesta car:

• Radius 15 – 175/70 and 205/60.
• Radius 16 – 185/60.
• Radius 17 – 175/55 and 195/50.

Note that 17' diameter wheels were installed on test modifications of Vesta. In principle, 18-inch wheels can be mounted on a car, but the outer diameter of this tire is almost 670 mm and the width is 235 mm. These parameters are very different from those recommended by the factory, and, despite the formal possibility of installation, real domestic roads will not allow such tires to drive normally (low-profile tires) - road irregularities will quickly ruin the wheels - note, at their price, several times higher than the original ones.

Advantages of mounting large drives:

• Visual effect, the car seems to become more fashionable.
• Increased dynamic properties, road stability, and steering system feedback.
• Less response from road potholes.
• Thrifty attitude towards suspension life (with a profile of at least 55%).
• Reducing the distance when braking.
• Improved functioning of ESP, ABS systems.
• Reducing braking length;

Disadvantages of mounting large drives:

• Lack of convenience when moving (large transfer of road damage to the interior and steering wheel).
• Undesirable driving on bad roads.
• Increased control over tire pressure.
• Increased fuel consumption due to the need for increased energy consumption when starting off.
• High price.

Additional Information

In general, in addition to the selection of jets, there are a lot of useful and interesting nuances of setting up the Solex, so that it works correctly and is combined with the engine of your carburetor car.

You should always start by setting the levels in the chambers. They are installed manually according to the positions of the floats themselves, depending on the unit cover (everything is done using special templates). And in vain you think, like many gullible Solex users, that everything is already on display from the factory. To avoid overflow and stress on the needle, we make the appropriate adjustments by bending the float tongues.

After setting the levels, you can start idling. It depends on the position of the screws for the quality and quantity of the mixture (torsion should be performed with the suction removed).

Acceptable tire sizes

Knowing certain parameters of tires and rims, the problems of replacing wheels on a Lada Vesta car can be avoided. The manufacturer allows the installation of a large number of dimensions within the wheel diameter R 15 - 17. Some even manage to fit 18-inch models into the car.

It all depends on the desires and capabilities of the buyer. Properly selected wheels are the key to safety on the road. It is advisable to avoid mistakes and installation of unsuitable wheels and tires.

Choosing winter wheels for Lada Vesta SW Cross: comparing sizes and prices

The standard characteristics of the wheels, which are produced at AvtoVAZ and come with the Vesta, are very similar to the sizes of other Lada cars. However, installing them is not recommended.

Standard parameters of disks 185/65/R15 88 N. Explanation:

• Wheel width – 185 mm;
• Wheel profile – 120.25mm;
• Disc radius – 15;
• 88 is a number indicating the carrying capacity, which is equal to 560 kg;
• Speed ​​index – H (210 km/h)

These characteristics are installed on the standard equipment of the car.

Despite the fact that many people are not satisfied with the wheel design, it is very practical and does not catch the eye. The choice of such discs is not a decision of one person, but of a team of specialists. The model is presented in a neutral form without a complex structure. The wheels do not stand out from the crowd of cars. Standard wheels on Lada Vesta Cross have the following characteristics:

• Radius R17;
• Drilling 4×100;
• The diameter of the central hole is 60.10;
• Fasteners (Bolt 12*1.5);
• Disc width 6.5J x 17;
• Departure ET41;

Orange “Mars”, a plastic body kit along the lower contour and 17-piece wheels – everything is beautiful and practical. As it turns out, up to a certain point. When you need winter tires for Vesta SV Cross, discussions about the attractiveness of standard “skating rinks” fade into the background. In addition, doubts arise about the ability of low-profile tires to “digest” a packed, bumpy road without critical consequences.

What is the problem

The main reason for the agony of choice is the high cost of tires in their native size 205/50 R17: this is evidenced by reviews of the Lada Vesta SW Cross. Let's take, for example, the Finnish new Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9. In the factory standard size, one “cylinder” costs about 11,000 rubles. The average price of the same spike in size R15 is 5,500 rubles. Double savings.

The gain in the initial price is complemented by another plus: the second set of wheels allows you not to go to the tire shop every season. Changing the shoes twice and balancing the 17th wheels will cost 3,000 rubles, which is not cheap. The third aspect is the smoothness of the ride: it is noticeably higher with decreasing rim diameter. With all these positive aspects, R15 tires look great in the arches of the Cross Vesta. Another thing is ground clearance... But here, too, catastrophic losses can be avoided.

However, owners of new cars prefer to partially deviate from these recommendations and use products of other sizes. Let's compare the performance data of various tires and enter them into the table.

We get two optimal sizes: 15th (195/65) and 16th (205/55). These wheels only slightly reduce the main advantage of the Cross: 203 mm ground clearance. 185/65 R15 significantly reduces ground clearance - by as much as 7.5 mm.

Replacing disks

When switching to 15-gauge tires of a non-standard format, you will have to select car wheels using a calculator. However, the light alloy version for the 195/65 R15 tire has long been studied by Vestavod:

• Bolt pattern – 4x100.
• Reach – 43-45 mm.
• Width – 6J.
• The central hole is 60.1 mm.

Owners of Vesta SV Cross need to make a decision about choosing winter tires of a different size consciously. The instruction manual allows only 205/50 R17 to be used in this version. Installing a different standard size may cause contradictions of the following nature:

1. Loss of warranty (maybe not - discussed with the official dealer).
2. Refusal of insurance payments in accordance with current legislation.
3. Inability to register a vehicle because changes have been made to the design of the vehicle.

Standard wheel sizes for LADA Vesta 1.6i B/C

The LADA Vesta 1.6i B/C model was produced from 2015 to 2019. Table of standard and suitable wheel sizes for LADA Vesta 1.6i B/C.

Disc drilling parameters are usually called bolt pattern:

• LZ (number of holes)
• PCD (hole center circle diameter)
• ET (disc offset)
• DIA (hole diameter)

Fuel consumption

The new Lada Vesta is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine of two types: 1st - with 8 valves, 2nd - with 16 valves.

The 8-valve engine has the lowest performance: its peak power is 87 hp, and its torque is 140 Hm. The engine is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and consumes no more than 7.5 liters per 100 km.

The engine with 16 valves was manufactured at AvtoVAZ. Its power is 106 hp. The engine provides for the installation of both robotic and manual gearboxes. With a robotic gearbox, the engine consumes about 7 liters. per 100 km. This is exactly the engine installed on the Lada Vesta models that were the first to go on sale.

The third type of engine has the highest performance. It was developed jointly by Renault-Nissan, its power is 114 hp. Fuel consumption on such an engine will be 6.9 liters. per 100 l.

Basic characteristics of wheels on Lada Vesta

Lada Vesta is a domestically produced sedan, which has been produced by the VAZ plant since 2015. A special feature is the Lada Vesta wheel size with parameters R16-R17, in contrast to earlier models, which are characterized by the use of standard sizes R13-R14.

Initially, this model was released on the market with wheels size 185/65/r15. Gradually, the manufacturer decided to switch to wheels on the Lada Vesta of an increased size, reaching 16 - 17 inches. The decision to install wheels of a different size made it possible to significantly increase Vesta’s handling and stability on the road.

Selection of disks for Vesta

The quality of Russian roads leaves much to be desired, so sooner or later the rollers will have to be replaced, since they wear out much faster on such roads. Another reason for replacement is the desire to change stamped to casting or choose a different design.

In such cases, there is no point in recommending standard wheels with a radius of 15; it would be better to choose R16 or R17. For 16's you can use tire sizes 175/70 and 205/60. For 17's the optimal tires are 175/50 and 195/50.

The following discs are recommended by the manufacturer:

But that doesn't mean others aren't suitable. There is a huge arsenal of discs of various types and at different prices. When choosing them for Vesta, you should take into account that the bolt pattern (the distance between the wheel bolts) differs from that used on other VAZ cars. As before, there are 4 bolts for fastening, but if previously the diameter between them was 98 mm, then on Vesta the bolt pattern is 4/100.

At the same time, aesthetically the car will look original. But with such rollers you will have to use low profile tires. And this, given the condition of the roads, will make everyday trips unpleasant.

Rating of alloy wheels for Vesta

For convenience, this shortlist is compiled from bottom to top, i.e. the best brand will be at the end. The top casting includes the following brands.

1. LS Wheels. Manufacturer from Taiwan. The products are certified by Rosstandart and adapted to Russian operating conditions. Pros: a wide variety of castings, attractive design and low cost. Of the minuses: not the best quality.
2. Alcasta. This brand is preferred by connoisseurs of classics and strict design. The company's products have been sold in Russia since 2013. They are distinguished by excellent balancing from the factory, light weight and low price. The disadvantages include the softness of the metal and poor paint coverage.
3. LegeArtis. Stylish and high-quality alloy wheels, despite the fact that they are made in China. Production is carefully controlled at every stage, products undergo multi-level testing. Modern technologies are used, but the quality of the metal leaves much to be desired; at high speeds and when falling into holes, cracks and other mechanical damage may appear.
4. Replica. A brand that produces copies of original wheels from the world's leading automakers. The quality of the discs depends on the factory, and there are several of them. Over the course of many years of history, the company has gained an impeccable reputation. In addition to high quality and a large selection, car enthusiasts will be pleased with low prices. However, on some copies, namely those included in the kit, there are different weights and incorrect geometry.
5. Dotz. One of the world's best disc manufacturers from Germany. The company is narrow-profile and deals exclusively with car wheels, so the product is of a high level. All products comply with international standards and are tested at every stage of production. In addition to quality and beautiful design, the brand offers a range of prices and a wide variety. Oddly enough, there are virtually no shortcomings.
6. K&K. The products are characterized as high quality, inexpensive and reliable. This is a Russian product, and it is the wheels of this manufacturer that AvtoVAZ uses. Parts are manufactured using modern equipment and meet international standards. There are no minuses as such; the pluses include an interesting design.

Tires and their parameters

Before choosing tires, the driver must understand that the size of car tires very seriously affects various characteristics of the car. Perhaps the grip will improve, the car will stay on the road perfectly at speeds of up to 210 km per hour, others increase the load capacity and speed index. Of course, the manufacturer indicates factory values ​​that are considered optimal for a particular model. On the Internet you can find a list of proven winter tires and similar summer tires for each brand. But how to choose tires? The following parameters need to be taken into account:

• factory recommended tire size is 185/65 R15 and 195/55 R16;
• if the wheels are 15 inches, the tire size is 175/70 R15 and 205/60 R15;
• for 17-inch wheels choose tires 175/55 R17 and 195/50 R17.

The manufacturer puts optimal tires on its Lada Vesta cars. These are Belarusian Belshina tires. They are designed specifically for AvtoVAZ and have high reliability and good quality. If you are puzzled by the choice of winter or summer tires, you can install the products of the Belarusian plant. Tires for Lada Vesta belong to the ART Motion brand, which is of Spanish origin. This means that the quality of the wheels has been tested according to the standards of the country of origin - Spain.

This is confirmed in practice. Wheels have the following advantages:

Rules for choosing “secrets” for wheels

Recently, there has been an increase in cases of filing statements with the police that all wheels were removed from the car while parking in the absence of the owner.

In order to prevent such a development of events, you can use the installation of special secret bolts on the wheels.

What are these bolts? Special bolts, also called “secrets,” allow car owners to be confident that their car’s wheels will not be removed overnight. Their design consists of bolts with a special head shape, which are installed instead of one or more standard wheel mounts. To unscrew them, you need a non-standard key, which is included in the kit.

When choosing such devices, you should pay attention to their technical characteristics, and not just their appearance.

An increase in demand for such parts was noted during times of shortage, and was caused by the desire of car owners to protect their own cars from this type of theft. Even taking into account the fact that since then the number of cases of theft has decreased significantly, they still occur.

When choosing a security bolt, you should also take into account the fact that some of them can be unscrewed with a gas wrench or cut off with a chisel. The best option is to purchase bolts whose heads are almost completely buried in the cast disk, which prevents it from being unscrewed using the above tools.

Varieties of "secrets". The basic principle of wheel protection used when installing such devices lies in their profile, which comes in two types - external and internal. It differs from the standard design and requires a special key to use it. However, for inexpensive models of bolts, a regular one may be suitable. Profiles can take different shapes and are produced in the following variations:

• In the form of an asymmetric rectangle;
• With shaped heads, for example, in the shape of a star, the edges of the rays of which are rounded, or other complex geometric shapes;
• With the presence of special holes on the surface of the head that serve to insert a tool there;
• A combined option, which is a combination of several of the above.

Their effectiveness will be almost the same. If you have time and desire, you can dismantle any product.

Varieties of kits. The purchased kit most often consists of four bolts and a special key. The only difference is the shape of the head; other data, such as thread, length, etc., must be similar to the standard ones. Some other options may be offered by manufacturing companies:

• A set of four bolts or nuts can be supplemented with one or more keys, in case the main one is lost;
• Set of 5 bolts or nuts with main and additional keys;
• A similar kit in which the number of bolts or nuts is 8.

Materials

In order to determine which product will be characterized by the greatest efficiency, it is worth paying attention to what material it is made of. The best option would be to choose products made of titanium or hardened steel

The use of chromium or nickel makes it possible to protect the product from corrosion and provide it with an attractive appearance.

Bottom line. When soft types of metal are used to produce such bolts, their efficiency will practically approach zero. In addition, the negative side of such products will be an increased degree of wear.
