Quick answer: Which bolt pattern is suitable for VAZ 2107

The loosening of wheel rims can easily be attributed to minor car tuning. For many car enthusiasts, changing the appearance of their “iron horse”, giving it exclusivity, and making it recognizable in the stream of other vehicles is a real dream.

But, as a rule, there is not enough money for serious changes, but installing new disks is a simple and quite affordable type of tuning.

But there is one problem - beginners lose sight of the wheel bolt pattern.

What it is?

Almost every make (model) of car has its own wheel bolt pattern. To designate the parameter, the abbreviation PCD is used, next to which numerical designations are indicated.

In simple words, the bolt pattern is the diameter along which the holes are made for attaching the wheel.

As a rule, car enthusiasts do not pay attention to this parameter and often install wheels with an inappropriate bolt pattern.

As a result, the wheel becomes incorrect. It is difficult to visually identify the problem, but the consequences can be very dire.

A little information. VAZ-2101 “Zhiguli” is a Soviet rear-wheel drive passenger car with a sedan body. On the basis of the VAZ-2101, the so-called “classic” family of VAZ cars was created, which was on the assembly line until September 17, 2012. For the release of this model in May 1972, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant was awarded the International Golden Mercury Award. In 2000, the VAZ-2101 was named the best domestic car of the 20th century according to the results of an all-Russian survey conducted by the magazine “Behind the Wheel”. Over the entire period of production (from 1970 to 1988), the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced 4.85 million VAZ-2101 cars of all modifications with a sedan body.

Disc labeling

When choosing a disk, you should take into account not only its bolt pattern, but also a number of other key parameters.

Let's say you have a disk with parameters in front of you - 6.5Jx15 H2 5x100 ET45 d54.1

. For an inexperienced car enthusiast, this is a common set of numbers. In fact, here is complete information about the product:

• 6.5 is the width (W), measured in inches (and not centimeters, as many people think);
• 15 is the diameter (D). Here the unit of measurement is also inch;
• 5*100 is a designation that indicates the number of landing bolts (5) and diameter (100).

Another example.

It is the diameter that interests us most (this is the PCD parameter that we mentioned above).

PCD size is given in millimeters:

• ET45 is a parameter by which you can judge the disc offset. Essentially, this is the distance between the plane that is pressed against the hub and the axis of symmetry of the product. ET45 means an overhang of 45 mm.

• d54.1 – indicates the diameter of the central hole (DIA, measured in millimeters). It has become fashionable among many manufacturers to overestimate this parameter.

In the future, special rings are used that eliminate vibration.

Regarding the digital designations “ J

" and "
H2
", they are used only by specialists.

The first parameter provides information about the design features of the side edges, and the second is a symbol for the annular protrusions on the rim (humps).

Wheel rim bolt pattern on Lada

Bolt pattern is a calculated characteristic of wheels, which determines the number of mounting holes and the diameter of their location circle. This characteristic is the same for almost all AvtoVAZ models and depends on the following vehicle indicators:

Wheels for VAZ 1111

• The weight of the car in running order, that is, fully equipped, with passengers and the maximum possible weight of cargo in the trunk.
• The nature of the vehicle’s operation, namely how important overloads are for a given vehicle. If we are talking about a city sedan, then a bolt pattern of 4 studs is quite enough for it, but a crossover or SUV is certainly equipped with 5 or 6 threaded rods, because off-road driving can temporarily increase the load on the wheel several times.
• Dynamic properties of the car. When entering a turn at high speed, as well as getting into holes, the impact increases the load on the hub studs exponentially.

Important!
Automotive plant engineers prescribe the bolt pattern depending on the maximum load on the vehicle with the required safety factor.

Fit Features

The wheel rim bolt pattern must comply with the manufacturer's recommendations. What to do if your car has PCD 100*4

, but did you really like the disc with
PCD 98*4
? Experts recommend refusing such a purchase.

But why, is it impossible to visually determine the difference? The discrepancy will definitely show itself.

After one of the bolts is fully tightened, the remaining holes move slightly to the side.

Of course, the bolts can be tightened somehow, but due to incomplete fit on the hub, you can’t dream of a high-quality tightening (we’ll look at some solutions to the situation below).

Remember that mounting a disk with different bolt patterns is dangerous. At first a slight beating appears. It may seem insignificant, but over time it leads to the destruction of the steering mechanism and vehicle suspension.

It can be even worse - due to poor-quality broaching, the wheel unscrews while driving and then an accident cannot be avoided.

Information on wheel bolt patterns on domestic VAZ vehicles

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.

The final parameter was 3x98, with a mounting hole diameter of 58.1 mm. This was quite economical for the Oka owners.

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.

• 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.

On a note.

The wheel load and dynamic parameters of these vehicles are very similar to each other.

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.

However, this difference does not mean that the 4x98 bolt pattern does not allow the installation of X-Ray wheels on older cars. On the contrary, all products are fully compatible; drivers do not even need to use spacer plates, since the nut can be screwed all the way and securely fixes the wheel.

• 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 .

Important!

Despite the paucity of assortment when equipping vehicles and a small selection of cars of different classes, the plant has achieved maximum versatility in compatibility and the possibility of interchangeability of rims for cars produced in 2022 or 50 years ago.

Features of the VAZ

Many car enthusiasts are interested in the question of what wheel bolt pattern is on domestic VAZ cars.

Here PCD is standard - 4*98. But such a bolt pattern has one big disadvantage - there is no room for flight of fancy and the possibility of choosing a more unique disc.

At the same time, “next door” there is a PCD standard - 4*100, where the choice of disks is much wider. So is it possible to take a risk with a replacement? As we have already mentioned, with standard tightening methods this is unacceptable, because even a small error will not allow the screws to be properly tightened.

There are car enthusiasts who take certain risks. They use longer screws or do not tighten one of them at all. But this is dangerous - such methods can lead to serious consequences (including road accidents).

But there is a way out.

To install 4*100 wheels on VAZ cars, you can use special bolts with an offset center or an eccentric (they are easy to find in car stores or on the Internet).

In addition, studs from the VAZ 2108 cylinder head type are often used.

The peculiarity of the installation is that the studs are screwed directly into the hub, and the disc is tightened with the help of other nuts (you can “borrow” it from Niva).

Another option is to bore a hole in the hub. In this case, it will be possible to install disks with different PCD bolt patterns - 4*100 or 4*98.

Wheel bolt pattern on VAZ 2107

The design of the seven involves drilling 4x98 wheels, where the number 4 indicates the number of bolts, and 98 indicates the diameter of the holes on the disc 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.

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.
