Additional information markings on the disc
In addition to the disc width offset and disc diameter, you can often find other information.
The disc may indicate: - Date of manufacture. Usually a year and a week. For example: 0407 means that the disc was released after the 3rd week of 2007, that is, in the 4th week of the year. – SAE, ISO, TUV - the mark of the regulatory body indicating the standard by which the disc is manufactured. The marking indicates that the wheels comply with international rules or standards. – MAX LOAD 2000LB - a very common designation for the maximum load on a wheel (indicated in kilograms or pounds). For example, maximum load 2000 lbs (908kg)
- MAX PSI 50 COLD - means that the tire pressure should not exceed 50 pounds per square inch (3.5 kgf / sq. cm), the word COLD (cold) reminds that the pressure should be measured in a cold tire; - TOYOTA - wheel manufacturer .
Operating rules
Following these recommendations will significantly extend the life of your light alloy wheels.
- Try to avoid bumps, which requires more careful driving.
- Park carefully and pay close attention to where you park your car.
- Avoid hitting holes and potholes. This is dangerous for a car with any wheels, but if the stamping can still be restored later, the light alloy will have to be sent to a landfill.
- When moving on rails, do not gain high speed. Impacts on metal can cause not only deformation of the discs, but also damage to the suspension.
Syverlovka and bolt pattern of VAZ wheels
Wheel bolt pattern on VAZ 2107
Bolt pattern of wheel rims on the Lada Largus
The design of the seven involves drilling 4×98 wheels, where the number 4 indicates the number of bolts, and 98 indicates the diameter of the holes on the disk structure.
Many foreign cars use a bolt pattern with similar parameters – 4×100. In the first situation, the distance between the centering bolts is 69.3 mm, and in the second case - 70.7 mm. The error is 1.4 mm and does not allow for tight fixation of a non-standard disc.
In addition, installing a car disk with non-standard parameters can lead to deformation of elements, namely mounting holes and bolts.
There are other methods for attaching 100x4 rims to the seven. For example, you can use extended bolts, adapter rings, studs and eccentrics. However, these parts can ultimately complicate or impair the mounting of the wheel product.
Therefore, it is recommended to install standard car wheels and tires so as not to lead to wheel imbalance and vibration while driving.
Wheels on the VAZ 2107 are equipped with 13-inch stamped wheels or analogues with identical parameters. Tires have dimensions 175/70/R13.
Bus parameters | Disc sizes | Bolt pattern | Width | Departure | Center hole |
175/70/R13 | 13” | 4×98 | 5.0J | ET 29 | DIA 60.1 |
The nominal pressure in “seven” tires directly depends on the tire sizes:
175/70/R13 – 1.9 rear, 1.6 front wheels;
165/80/R13 – 2.0 rear, 1.7 front.
Wheel bolt pattern on model 2106
For a six, the wheel bolt pattern is 4×98. As for the factory dimensions of the disks, then:
- standard width is 5.0J,
- centering hole 58.5 mm,
- departure ET
Tire size for the six is 175/70/R13.
As a restyling, you can install wheels 185/60/14, 195/50/R15.
Tire parameters | Factory bolt pattern | Non-standard disk parameters |
155/R13/82Q | 4×98 | 4.5Jx13 ET37 |

Wheel bolt pattern on VAZ 2110
The tenth VAZ model is equipped with factory stamped 13-inch wheels and 175/70/R13 tires. There were also dozens of configurations with 14-inch casting and 175/65/R14 tires.
As for the dimensions of VAZ factory wheels, the width is 5.0-5.5J, drilling is 4×98, as on other models, the centering hole is 58.5 mm and the offset is ET 37-40.
Drilling on 2111
The Lada station wagon 2111 was equipped with 13 or 14-inch wheels from the factory, depending on the vehicle's configuration. Both options could be used.
Tire sizes: 175/70/R13, 175/65/R14, rims: width 5.0J, drilling 4×98, centering hole 58.6 mm, offset ET40.

The Russian Niva Chevrolet SUV is equipped with factory-made 15- and 16-inch rims with drilling parameters of 5×139.7, offset ET40-48, centering 98.6 mm and width 6-6.5J.
Diameter calculation
In principle, each driver can calculate the wheel diameter independently. To do this, he must be well able to decipher the existing tire markings, for example, let’s calculate a wheel with dimensions 175/70 R13 for a nine:
- 175 – tire width indicator (mm).
- 70 – tread height size. Takes a percentage of the existing width. In this example: 175x0.7 = 122.5 mm.
- R13 – disk diameter. Calculated: 13 x 25.4 = 330 millimeters.
To obtain the wheel diameter, it is necessary to add the disk diameter with the profile height multiplied by two:
330 + 122.5 x 2 = 575 mm.
If you carry out calculations for other wheels, you get:
- 175/65 R14 – 583,
- 185/60 R14 – 577 mm.
The last option is considered the most optimal. The tire is ten millimeters wider. The contact patch of such rubber is much larger, which means the braking distance will be reduced.
The car will be more stable and much easier to drive. The rubber will not break when turning at high speed.
However, with all the positive aspects, there are also several disadvantages. A wide tire has a hydroplaning effect when driving at high speed. There is no such effect on narrow tires.
Information on wheel bolt patterns on domestic VAZ vehicles
How to determine wheel rim bolt pattern, compatibility table
All VAZ cars from the very foundation of the plant to the present day had only 3 main types of bolt patterns, since most modifications were made on a single platform, only their appearance changed. The bolt pattern for most Lada models looked like this:
The smallest representative of the automaker - VAZ 1111, popularly called "Oka", was produced in the Russian Federation for 20 years - from 1987 to 2008. Considering that the weight of this especially small class car was only 975 kg, and the load on the wheel was less than 250 kg, Oka became one of the few representatives in its class for which a bolt pattern of 3 studs was used.
It was quite problematic to find a similar wheel size on the market, so stamped products with a radius of R12 and R13 were often re-drilled in order to successfully fit on the hub.
Bolt pattern VAZ 2107 4x98
The vast majority of models of the AvtoVAZ concern, starting from 2101 and ending with the Lada Priora or Kalina, were produced from the assembly line in the form of sedans, liftbacks, hatchbacks or station wagons of the compact or subcompact class.
Starting from 1966, when the concern released its first “penny”, and ending in 2015, the wheel bolt pattern for these cars was 4x98 mm, the diameter of the central hole was 58.1 mm.
The most popular Lada models today, for which wheels with a 4x98 bolt pattern are still sold, are VAZ 2106, 2107, 2109, 2110, 2112, 2114.
The latest VAZ models, such as Vesta, Granta and X-Ray, produced since 2015, have a wheel pattern as close as possible to the international standard for compact cars. This parameter on the specified modifications is 4x100.
Among all the products of the AvtoVAZ concern, such models as the VAZ 2121, or the classic Niva and all derivatives of this SUV have always stood out: the 5-door Taiga, Chevrolet Niva and other models. Due to increased loads on the hubs and wheels due to unsatisfactory road conditions, for which all parameters of the Niva were designed, these compact all-terrain vehicles traditionally had a disc bolt pattern of 5x139.7, with a central hole diameter of 98.5 mm.
These increased indicators allowed the wheel to freely resist bending moment, absorb large loads when the center of gravity is shifted to one side when moving on an inclined plane or when the wheels are forced to hang, and also allowed the car to transmit more torque to the tire treads when driving uphill without the risk of breaking parts .
Wheels for VAZ 2114
How to choose stamped products
Stamped wheels are the most common for the VAZ 2109. Cars are equipped with these from the factory very often. This is due to the low cost of manufacturing such products.
They are not attractive in terms of design and have poor performance, but often car enthusiasts are attracted by their price. It is necessary to install stamped products on VAZs in compliance with the same requirements as for cast ones. Their parameters and sizes are fully consistent.
The dimensions and parameters common for the entire line of VAZ car models allow you to choose a set of wheels without any problems.
Factory non-tuned VAZ cars are standardly equipped with stamped types of wheels. These products are of fairly high quality, but the external shortcomings of these parts are much greater. Many car owners prefer to improve their car themselves, but in addition to their own considerations, they must adhere to certain rules and take into account the structural features of the car.

Interior of rims for VAZ cars
The bolt pattern of VAZ wheel rims is a very important indicator of the model, which significantly limits the range of products offered for sale. If the driver suddenly takes a fancy to a disc that has different characteristics, he will have to completely change the design of the hub and install the studs in a new order. Experts say that such a practice is fraught with unpredictable consequences during the operation of the vehicle.

Features of wheel sizes for the most popular VAZ models
Among several dozen VAZ modifications, the most popular models over the entire 50 years were only 2 of them, as can be judged by the number of copies sold. The wheel sizes for these cars had the following parameters, which varied depending on the year of manufacture, technical equipment and equipment of the car:
VAZ is the latest modification of the “classic”, produced on the plant’s conveyors for 30 years: from 1982 to 2012. During this time, it never changed its appearance, and the disc bolt pattern was the same - 4x98 with a central hole diameter of 58.6 mm.
If in 1982 the plant produced models with tire dimensions ranging from 5J to 5.5J, then at the end of production the concern increased the permissible size to 6J.
The radius of the wheels invariably varied from R13 to R15, which made it possible to alternate them by season, periodically changing the side profile of the tire, or immediately use all-season tires with a diameter of R14.
The VAZ 2107 tire size invariably consisted of only 3 main parameters - 175/70/R13, 185/60/R14 and 185/55/R15. The last of the listed parameters was actively in demand among lovers of fast driving on smooth city roads.
If we look at the concern’s earlier cars, we can see that the wheelbase of the Zhiguli has remained virtually unchanged for more than 40 years. This leads to moral backwardness of the technical equipment of the plant's products. At the same time, the lack of new developments greatly reduces both the speed of release from the assembly line and the cost of engineering equipment, which leads to a very attractive retail price for the vehicle.
VAZ 2114. Produced in a smaller range - from 2001 to 2013. The car was just a restyled modification of the classic “nine”. The legacy of the outdated model did not affect the high popularity of this Lada, and all the wheels that were installed on hubs in the basic version had the same traditional bolt pattern 4x98, DIA 58.6 mm.
European standard bolt pattern 4x100 for Lada X-Ray
Like the bolt pattern of the VAZ 2114, the width of the wheel rims was not much different from the “seven” and fluctuated between 5J – 6J for the entire production period. As for radius, the concern has completely eliminated the 15-inch diameter from the factory equipment, without prohibiting drivers from installing this parameter as an option. The bolt pattern of VAZ 2114 wheels in the current size also made it possible to install standard 4x100 wheels in accordance with the sizes usual for Europe.
Not a single Lada model has ever looked aggressive; the hallmark of the product was practicality and reliability in operation. The concern did not use extreme overhang indicators, and the wheels were always hidden under the body arches. The average ET limit values for both VAZ 2107 and 2114 were ET25...35 mm, and deviations from this characteristic obligated drivers to install additional mudguards on the side parts of the body and change the design of the hubs, making them more durable to avoid deformations.
Kinds
Analyzing the wheel rim market, the entire range can be divided into three types:
- Stamped steel;
- Light alloy cast;
- Light alloy forged.
Many cars, including the VAZ 2109, were equipped with stamped wheels from the factory. Outwardly, they are completely unattractive, and over time they lose their external characteristics. Let's be honest, this is a relic of the past.
But at the same time, steel stampings have their advantages, due to which this type of disc is still produced and is in impressive demand among consumers:
- Affordable price. These are the cheapest options available today;
- High strength indicators. Considering the quality of our roads, many people think primarily about quality, safety, and not external data;
- Reliability. They do not have to be changed almost every season, which results in impressive savings;
- With strong impacts, the stampings do not break or crack. They crumple as much as possible, which opens up opportunities for recovery and restoration;
- Easy to remove and change without outside help.
But let's be completely honest. With all their positive qualities, the disgusting appearance forces car owners to abandon reliability and durability in favor of image and external attractiveness. Moreover, you should not think that light-alloy options are absolutely fragile and break only from one type of damage.
Light alloy
If we talk about alloy wheels, they are made, as you may have guessed, from special light alloys.
A total of three types of alloys are used.
Alloy type | Peculiarities |
Titanium | An excellent choice in all respects except cost. These are the most expensive alloy wheels, which, nevertheless, last a long time, are reliable, and look simply excellent. |
Aluminum | Many people put aluminum alloy first, taking into account external characteristics, strength indicators and availability. An important advantage of aluminum is that it is not susceptible to corrosion. With proper use, aluminum alloy lasts a long time and maintains the excellent appearance of the car. |
Magnesium | In the ranking among three light alloys it occupies the third place of honor. If you have the choice of titanium or aluminum, choose them. But this does not mean that magnesium alloys should be avoided. |
When choosing alloy wheel sets, be sure to compare their strengths and weaknesses. Appearance is far from the only criterion that you need to pay attention to when purchasing.

Advantages and disadvantages of light alloy
Compared to steel wheels, choosing light alloy options provides car owners with a fairly extensive list of advantages. But it is also important to know about the disadvantages.

Generation 1
Sales of the “nine” started in 1987. Externally, the model was almost completely identical to the VAZ-2108, differing from it only in the number of doors. The car retains the same styling: angular body features, a relatively slight slope of the windshield, a large protruding bumper and noticeable rectangular headlights. Despite the similar design and dimensions, the “nine” and “eight” were fundamentally different cars. The width of the front doors in the VAZ-2109 was reduced by almost 250 mm. In the appearance of the model one could guess the swiftness of the lines, but the sportiness became much less.
The interior of the “nine” turned out to be extremely practical. At the same time, the developers managed to increase comfort indicators. The car now has a “low” instrument panel, which has become more convenient. The front seats received headrests, and the upper belt attachment points were height-adjustable. Upholstery with inserts and optional fabric seats added to the model's prestige. The folded rear seats made the VAZ-2109 look like a station wagon. The cabin had ventilation and heating systems.
The first modernization of the car took place in 1989. The front part of the body has been slightly refined. The entire restyling consisted of a transition to “long” front wings, replacing the “short” version. In 1990, the model received a new 1.5-liter engine (72 hp). The modernized version was called VAZ-21093. It was this modification that became the most popular. By the mid-1990s, 1.1- and 1.3-liter engines were excluded from the line of power units. The engines were combined with 5-speed gearboxes.
The next restyling of the model took place in 1995. They stopped melting the radiator grille. The last cosmetic improvement of the VAZ-2109 happened in 1997. The car has not changed again.
Wheel and tire sizes
Regardless of the modification, the “nine” could be equipped with the following types of tires and wheels:
- wheels 5J on 13 ET40 (5 – width in inches, 13 – diameter in inches, 40 – positive offset in mm), tires – 165/70R13 (165 – tire width in mm, 70 – profile height in%, 13 – rim diameter in inches);
- 4.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires – 155/80R13;
- 5.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires – 175/70R13;
- 5J wheels on 14 ET40, tires – 175/65R14;
- 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/60R14;
- 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires – 185/60R14.
Other characteristics of VAZ-2109 wheels:
- PCD (drilling) – 4 by 98 (4 is the number of holes, 98 is the diameter of the circle on which they are located in mm);
- fasteners – M12 by 1.25 (12 – stud diameter in mm, 1.25 – thread size);
- diameter of the central hole – 58.5 mm;
- tire pressure – 1.9-2 bar.
Advantages of the car:
- good handling;
- strong bumper;
- affordable price and low maintenance cost.
Disadvantages of the VAZ-2109:
- the interior is made of cheap plastic, which begins to rattle immediately after starting to move;
- low ergonomics of the pedal assembly;
- vulnerability of the oil filter and engine crankcase.
What is the bolt pattern of wheel rims on a VAZ 2109 diagram?
Any owner of a VAZ-2109 sooner or later has a question: what is the bolt pattern on the rims of their car? It is usually asked at the moment when they begin to think about replacing these important wheel elements that ensure traffic safety and the image appeal of the vehicle.
In general, the concept of “bolt pattern” implies the distance from the center of one disk mounting hole to another. For the most part, this parameter is the same for all products of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, but in general no standard values have been developed. That’s why the holes for the bolts on the hubs are located differently among different manufacturers.
Bolt pattern - dimensions
This wheel parameter for VAZ cars is marked with the following combination – 4×98. As mentioned before, this is a standard value for all models of domestic manufacturers.
It is deciphered quite simply. So:
- the first number (4) only indicates the number of fasteners provided to secure the disk;
- the second (98) means the gap between the holes (or rather their centers) in millimeters.
Many have noticed that the corresponding markings on foreign vehicles begin with the number 5. As you might guess - this should be understood this way - the disc is attached directly to the hub with exactly the same number of bolts.
If you draw a circle through the holes, you get the total diameter. In particular, the VAZ-2109 leaves the factory assembly line with wheels measuring 13 inches.
They use tires of the following marking – 175/70 R13.
When planning to purchase third-party wheels for your car, it is important to know which ones are suitable for your model. In particular:
- It is best to choose those that have the following dimensions - 5.5 by 13.5 inches;
- 5.5 by 14 is also not bad;
- It will be possible to install 6 to 14.
In theory, it is possible to attach even larger ones, but usually this requires certain changes to the design of the vehicle itself.
In addition to the previously mentioned number of attachment points and the distance between them, designated as PCD, there are also other dimensions:
- the diameter of the central hole (DIA) of the nine is 58.1 millimeters;
- offset (ET) is indicated as +40.
If you purchase discs with a lower ET value, the grip on the road surface will increase significantly, which means:
- controllability will deteriorate;
- fuel consumption will increase;
- wheel bearing wear will accelerate.
Is it possible to install 4x100 disks?
This option can be seen quite often on the VAZ-2109. However, in reality this solution is not correct.
The problem is that the standard bolt pattern of the model in question differs relatively little from the factory one. It seems to many that these couple of millimeters do not matter. However, it is impossible to secure a 4×100 disk properly with ordinary bolts. There is a thickening on them (under the head) - it is this that does not allow the fasteners to be screwed in completely. Moreover, if you try to do this by force, most likely you will break the thread in the hub.
Therefore, they have to be secured with special eccentric bolts, and they have disadvantages that do not have the best effect on reliability. You should not forget about them if your own safety and that of your passengers is important to you.
Other settings
In addition to the basic characteristics of the tire and wheel, there are other important indicators that must be taken into account. One of them is wheel offset, which is the distance from the wheel hub to the middle of the rim.
You can also increase the car's ground clearance using spacers for shock absorbers. You can install them yourself. Then the offset can be made smaller, but its deviation from the recommended one leads to a change in the load on the hub bearing. This will result in a reduction in its service life and affect the controllability of the car.
The offset can be made less than recommended for wide rims. If the discs are narrow, then you can take more. To make the right choice, it is advisable to seek help from a specialist, from whom you will receive precise instructions on what parameters are needed. When purchasing disks, it is extremely important to accurately select the mounting dimensions for the mounting bolts and nuts (PCD). If the choice is made even with a slight error, a disc with a slight PCD deviation that is not visually noticeable can be installed on the hub. Then some bolts will fit exactly, while others will fit misaligned. Such a wheel will begin to “figure eight”, and the nuts will spontaneously unscrew.
Advantages and disadvantages of stamped wheels for VAZ 2110
Initially, VAZ 2110 cars in the basic configuration are produced with stamped wheels. And many owners prefer not to change them due to a number of advantages that such discs have:
- high strength, which allows you to withstand aggressive driving style;
- high performance characteristics are designed for the condition of domestic roads;
- affordable price;
- ease of restoration of the stamped disk in case of damage.
Their main disadvantage is their outdated design, which spoils the look of the quite stylish and modern VAZ 2110 car. In addition, stamped wheels are heavy and susceptible to corrosion.
Manufacturers of wheels for VAZ 2110
There is a wide range of wheels for the VAZ 2110 on the market. A huge number of manufacturers can confuse even an experienced car enthusiast. Therefore, when choosing the optimal wheels for your car, you should carefully study information about all manufacturers. To do this, they should be divided by country:
- Russia. Domestic wheels for the VAZ 2110 are a combination of low cost, reliability and durability. Considering that these are the wheels that are installed in the basic version of the car, it would be quite logical to replace them with higher quality wheels from a similar manufacturer. In addition, domestically produced wheels are designed taking into account the low quality of roads, so they will last a long time even under intense load.
- China. Chinese-made disks are affordable and have mixed quality. However, even on the Chinese disk market recently you can find very good quality copies that are practically not inferior to European products. But you should buy wheels made in China only after personal inspection. When ordering such products online, the chance of purchasing low-quality discs is much higher.
- Türkiye. Turkish-made wheels are distinguished by the use of high-quality materials, stylish appearance and durability. They can withstand driving on domestic roads, but their cost will be higher than Chinese or Russian ones.
- Asia. In addition to Chinese, you can buy Asian wheels from South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Disks from these manufacturers are distinguished by excellent technical characteristics and reliability. They can be installed on a VAZ 2110, guaranteeing a stylish appearance and a comfortable ride. The cost is higher than domestic analogues.
- USA and Europe. The most expensive options. They are distinguished by high technical characteristics, but due to the prohibitive price, their installation on a VAZ 2110 makes almost no sense.
When choosing the optimal model of wheels for a VAZ 2110, you should take into account indicators such as wheel size, center hole diameter, and tire size. In addition, you should make a choice between stamped and alloy wheels.
Recommendations when choosing
When choosing a set of new stampings or light alloys, be sure to pay attention to the following points.
- All alloy wheels must be certified and supplemented with a quality mark and X-ray inspection.
- All discs must have a mark from the regulatory authority and a document confirming that the discs have passed quality control and compliance with current standards.
- The product indicates the maximum permissible load that the disk can handle.
- The name and other information about the manufacturer is quite obvious information that you can and should read on the disk.
- Product heat number, production method, marking and date of manufacture. If not, look for a kit in another store. This is clearly a counterfeit or questionable shipment.
Storage rules
Many car owners purchase two sets of wheels, one of which is used in winter, and the other in summer. This allows you not to transfer tires from one set to another every time.
But if you leave wheels in a garage or other place for a long time, you risk losing their original quality, since the storage rules were not followed.
Storage nuances
And they are quite simple.
- Don't just throw the kit somewhere in the corner where some space has become available.
- Before storing, mark the wheels so you know where the front left, rear right, and so on are.
- Store wheels exclusively in a dry, cool and dark place. There should be no chemicals, gasoline or oil in the immediate vicinity of tires. These components are capable of destroying the structure of the wheels over time, so their service life is noticeably reduced.
- If tires are stored with rims, they should not be kept in a standing position. Hang or place horizontally. Many experts advise using wooden pallets.
- If the rubber is stored separately, it is located vertically. Moreover, the tires should be rotated once a month so that the pressure does not deform the compound. Do not hang or stack tires on top of each other.
- Before storing, inspect the projectors and remove any stones or stuck pebbles.
- Carefully check the condition of the wheels before installing them for the new season.
Wheels are more than just a visual decoration for a car. Safety, reliability of the suspension, fuel consumption and a number of other parameters largely depend on their quality and correct choice.

What wheels are suitable for VAZ 2110
Many Lada models have universal basic elements characteristic of a wide variety of modifications of these cars:
VAZ 2110
- device,
- engine volume and power,
- wheelbase,
- pendant,
- braking system,
- wheels and tires.
So, depending on the modification and equipment of the vehicle with different options, the following standard parameters for these products are set at the factory:
- The bolt pattern is 4x98, which is the same for all models of the automobile concern, which means that the wheel is mounted on 4 studs of 98 mm each, as well as the drilling or diameter of the circle along which the holes for the studs are located - 58.6 mm.
- What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2110? The simplest car configurations, regardless of the year of manufacture, were always equipped with stamped wheels in silver, white or black without decorative overlays with a dimension of 5.0J x 13 ET35, on which summer tires 175/70/R13 were put on.
- Further, all subsequent 3 trim levels with an engine capacity of 1.5 liters were equipped with wheels with dimensions of 5.0J x 14 ET35, 5.5J x 14 ET35 and 6.0J x 14 ET35, and this indicates the capacity of the wheel arches, under which with a constant offset The disk freely accommodated tires 175/65/R14, 175/65/R14 and 175/60/R14, respectively. All of the disks listed were also stamped, but already covered with caps.
- In more expensive versions with an engine capacity of 1.6 liters, wheels with an increased radius in a cast version were installed - 5.0J x 15 ET35 or 6.0J x 15 ET38 with tires 195/60/R15 and 205/55/R15.
- All new models produced by the automaker after 2005 did not use a radius greater than R15. However, in the initial version there were 2 top-end configurations of the brand, which came off the assembly line with wheels that were exclusive at that time. Thus, these cast wheels with designer grilles had parameters of 6.5J x 16 ET33 and 7.0J x 17 ET27, which corresponded to business-class foreign cars, and tires were installed in 205/50/R16 and 215/45/R17, but it could only be safely used in the summer due to its low profile.
R13 wheels on VAZ 2110 Important! The VAZ 2110 has always been a fairly universal car, and the parameters of the wheel arches satisfied radii from R13 to R17 without much difficulty, which allowed car enthusiasts to install original wheel rims from famous manufacturers on their “iron horses” as an option.
