Correctly selected wheels and tires can not only transform the exterior of any car, but also provide it with confident driving behavior. Manufacturers always indicate in the technical documentation all wheel and tire size options that are applicable to the body of a particular model. Many people are interested in the question, what should be the size of tires and wheels?
Next, we’ll figure out which rims are most suitable for the Russian practical station wagon Lada Largus, so that the driving characteristics remain at the declared level.
Features of wheels for the domestic model
In the technical manual, the inquisitive owner will find only one wheel option offered by the manufacturer - this is 185x65xR15. The factory installs stamped wheels with the specified dimensions. Since the Russian model Lada Largus is a “clone” of the Dacia Logan station wagon, produced since 2006, in the characteristics of the Romanian car you can find an indication of the identical wheel size.
The owners have gained experience installing 14-inch wheels. These products have the following dimensions - 185x70xR14. However, such wheel options are not very popular, and it is quite rare to see them on a car. Much more common modifications of r15 wheels - these are 15-inch wheels - are the following options:
- 195x55xR15;
- 205x60xR15;
- 195x60xR15.
A little less common are rims that measure 16 and even 17 inches. Among these options you can find the following standard sizes:
- 205x55xR16;
- 195x60xR16;
- 215x50xR17;
- 205x50xR17.
Well, you can’t ignore the exclusive versions with an impressive 18-inch dimensions.
This:
- 215x40xR18;
- 215x35xR18.
In the notation, R is the radius of the tire, and the numbers are the width of the tire and the height of its profile, respectively.
Recommended tire pressure for Lada Largus
The life of tires and wheels is affected not only by driving style, but also by tire pressure. In addition, this parameter affects the machine’s controllability and traffic safety. Tire pressure must correspond to the figures stated by the manufacturer.
To avoid accidents and preserve the life of tires, it is recommended to maintain pressure at the following level:
- front wheels – 2.4 Bar;
- rear wheels – 2.6 Bar;
The slightly overestimated parameters on the rear axle are explained by the fact that Largus can be used as a station wagon or a van, and therefore the rear of the car is always loaded. In this regard, the tire pressure at the rear should be slightly higher than at the front in order to maintain handling at the desired level.
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.

The budget station wagon Lada Largus is equipped with stamped rims with a radius of R15. Bolt pattern - 4x100 (like Renault Logan), offset ET 50, centering hole - CO 60.1, width - 6.0J.

Is it possible to install winter tires on a Largus 15R 195 65, how will it affect the warranty and the chassis and transmission of the vehicle?
Can. but there is little space left between the wheel and the fender liner and ice will accumulate, which will irritate with characteristic sounds.
With the standard 185/65/15 wheel, the car will not drive right through the stove.
Will he really bury himself up to the stove? Bullshit.
Largus is equipped with Magnetto Wheels
The manufacturer installs 15-inch versions on the Lada Largus, which are supplied by the Magnetto Wheels corporation. Such products have conventional parameter markings in the form: “6×15/4×100 D60.1 ET50”.
Now let's decipher it in parts:
- “6” characterizes the width of the product in inches;
- “15/4x100” - here we have: 15-inch with 4 attachment points to the hub and a distance between the centers of the holes for fasteners equal to 100 mm;
- “D60.1” denotes the diameter of the hole in - the amount of overhang, which in our case is 50 mm.
The owners claim that Logan wheels are perfect for LADA Largus. Their parameters are as follows: “5.5×14/4×100 D60.1 ET43”. To complete such wheels, you will need to purchase 185x70xR14 tires.
What non-standard sizes can be supplied?
Often, owners install wheels on their cars that are of a different size than the standard ones. According to statistics, one of the most common options is a wheel with a diameter of 14 inches with a dimension of 185/70 R14. A slightly less popular solution is a smaller width tire – 165/80 R14.
For wheels with a diameter of 15 inches - 195/65 mm. Some owners install tires of impressive width on their cars:
- 205/55 R16;
- 195/60 R16;
- 195/55 R16.
After minor modifications to the body, you can install wheels with a larger diameter - 17 inches. However, it should be remembered that the use of rubber and disks, the weight of which differs from the standard ones by more than 2-3 kg, will lead to accelerated wear of wheel bearings, ball joints and steering tips. When using wheels with a diameter of 17 inches, it is allowed to install tires of the following sizes:
- 205/50 mm;
- 205/45 mm;
- 225/45 mm;
- 215/50 mm.
If you choose the right wheels and modify the body, then it is quite possible to install tires measuring 215/35 mm and 215/40 mm with a diameter of 18 inches. However, such changes will significantly affect handling. You will need to use a special roller to roll out the wheel arches. First you should check how the wheel “sits”. Friction on the fender liner is not allowed. If the wheel tread touches the plastic wheel arch liners in any steering wheel position, this can cause serious problems:
- mudguard breakdowns;
- fender liner failure.
Also, when rubbing against plastic, the rubber tread quickly wears off. Which leads to the need to replace wheels prematurely. A good solution is to first “try on” the rubber and check its compatibility. This will help you avoid buying the wrong wheels.
What wheels are available for Largus Cross?
The factory equipment of the “Cross” modification provides for the use of light-alloy wheel models. These products are equipped with their own parameters, namely:
- 6 inches wide;
- bolt pattern “4x100”;
- departure "ET50";
- with a central center diameter corresponding to “D60.1”.
All indicated characteristics include equipping with 205x65xR16 wheels. The manufacturer installs “Continental Premium Contact” tires with a low profile (55% in relation to the width).

Non-standard wheels instead of standard wheels
Sometimes owners have, for example, 14-inch stamped wheels left over from a previous car. Is it possible to install them on LADA Largus instead of the original “products”? Yes, but it will require loosening.
In such a situation, you may encounter the problem of aligning the disc with the brake caliper bracket. The fact is that the bracket sticks out in relation to the plane of contact of the disk to the hub. Moreover, if you tighten the fasteners of such a disk, it will subsequently not be able to rotate.
The same situation will happen if you install R15 wheels. They will rub against the same unfortunate bracket.
Only 16-inch ones will provide the required clearance.
If the discs have a small offset, then after installation they will provoke a change in the load applied to the wheel bearings. Also, protruding rims and tires will “throw” dirt onto the side panels of the body. It is useful to know that a 6.5-inch disk with a 45 mm offset will touch body elements.

The smaller the unsprung masses
(this includes a lot of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.
Attention! Installing larger wheels may lead to problems with ABS and ESP calibration (the systems may not work correctly).
Features of tire selection for Lada Granta
Regardless of the quality of standard tires, the driver will need an additional set of wheels with the onset of the next cold weather, because hard treads will not be able to keep the car on the road in an emergency. And the poor quality of roads in certain regions of the country often causes the need for emergency tire service, including the installation of new tires to replace irretrievably lost ones. All this means that the driver is often faced with the problem of selecting tires for his “iron horse” and he must adhere to the following rules:
Seasonality and the nature of the vehicle’s operation should be taken into account. If the driver is preparing to buy a winter set of wheels, then he should consider the size R13-R15, because this tire on the Granta has a fairly high profile, allowing the tire to provide reliable grip not only on the sole with the treads, but also on the side surface cord.
Winter tires for Lada Granta
At the same time, the high profile provides a sufficient air buffer, which has the effect of natural shock absorption of the spring part. This factor increases driver comfort in the cabin, and also reduces wear on the vital systems of the car base - the hub, suspension, steering rod and ball joints. In addition, the diameter of the R15 rim is ideal for installing all-season tires, which eliminates the need for the driver to annually re-shoe the car for the next 2-3 years during normal operation.
Also, given that this car is a budget car, and its retail price starts at 420 thousand rubles. as of February 2022, not every car enthusiast is ready to spend large sums on its re-shoes. After all, an R17 tire produced by brands such as Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli or Continental can easily cost 10 thousand rubles. per product or more, so drivers often resort to domestic analogues.
Viatti tires for Lada Granta
The most popular Russian tire manufacturers, whose products are compatible with almost all cars of the AvtoVAZ concern, are factories such as Nokian with a branch in the Leningrad region, Viatti - an Italian brand produced on the basis of the Nizhnekamskneftekhim enterprise, Matador, Amtel and many other companies , based in different regions of the Russian Federation.
The last thing you should pay attention to is the rubber outsole, as it must have a pronounced tread in accordance with its purpose. In the case of the winter studded version, the metal elements must sit firmly in the thickness of the rubber compound and be made of stainless alloys
High quality engineered treads not only provide the best grip on the road surface, but also reduce noise levels, which is extremely important for the comfort of the occupants

Weight matters
A car disk is a simple flywheel mounted on a hub. To set it in motion, you need to expend a certain amount of energy, the source of which is fuel. And the greater the mass of the wheel, the more fuel will be required to spin it. But it is much more difficult to stop the wheel when its rotation speed is very high. At that moment, a very large load is placed on the braking system. Therefore, not only the comfort and controllability of the car, but also the safety of passengers in the cabin depends on the quality of the disc and the materials used to make it.
Modern wheels are made of steel and various light alloys, which give them a number of advantages:
- Welded steel disc. This is a familiar stamped version that boasts a low price and durability. It is these discs that have the heaviest weight, are easily deformed and are more susceptible to corrosion than others. But with all their shortcomings, they are not so bad - if after falling into a hole the disk is dented, this can be quickly corrected at a service station.
- Alloy wheels (cast and forged). They have much lighter weight, high anti-corrosion and strength properties and many design solutions. But they are already much more expensive. When subjected to strong impacts, alloy wheels do not bend like steel wheels, but rather crack. Forged ones can withstand the strongest blows and are practically impossible to bend.

Parameters of standard nuts
One of the main parameters of nuts or bolts is the shape of their pressing surface, which can have several varieties. When selecting the necessary nuts, you should proceed from the shape of the recess in the mounting hole of the disk.
Most often it is necessary to use bolts or nuts with a cone-shaped clamping part. As a rule, the cone has an angle of 60°. Sometimes such bolts may have a 1.3 mm head and a nose at the end of the nut.
The clamping surface of the fastener can also be flat or hemispherical
It is important that the clamping planes of the fastener and the disk fully correspond to each other. Otherwise, over time, as a result of strong dynamic loads, the attachment point will weaken
When choosing nuts with closed heads, you should pay attention to their length
If the pin prematurely rests on its inner part, then it will not be possible to fully tighten it. Also, nuts that are too short may not leave room for the socket head of the impact wrench. Some wheel models only allow the use of hex or star nuts.
When choosing bolts, you need to consider their length. A reliable connection can only be achieved if the bolt is screwed in to the entire threaded thickness of the hub. However, if it is too long, then when the car moves, such fasteners will begin to cling to internal structures.
Compliance criteria for linear dimensions
Wheels with a diameter of 16 inches are standard by default for the Largus Cross when installed at the factory. And if the rim is damaged beyond repair, AvtoVAZ recommends replacing the damaged one with a disc that exactly matches the factory parameters: sixteen-inch, because the dimensions and shape of the wheel were designed for the safest and most trouble-free driving.
Not all motorists follow this rule. Many are guided by appearance and buy a more beautiful rim, not always taking into account its difference in diameter, width, etc. Let's take a closer look at the parameters that can or cannot be changed when installing a new disk.
Each manufacturer recommends certain wheel characteristics. They are indicated in the car’s passport data in the form of a formula. For example, this: 6J15PCD4-98et35DIA58.6, where 6J15 is the width and diameter of the rim in inches, the numbers 4 and 98 indicate, respectively, the number of bolt holes and the distance between the bolts in mm. Et - disc “overhang” (extrusion depth relative to the rim axis). This parameter can be either positive or negative, or zero. 58.6 is the diameter of the central hole in mm.
Purchasing a wheel other than the factory one in the above dimensions affects:
- quality of use of the vehicle chassis;
- suspension wear period;
- driving safety;
- risk of being denied warranty service.
The larger the rim diameter, the smaller the tire profile should be. The profile is also called the height of the tire. This is the vertical distance from where the wheel sits on the tire to the most protruding part of the tread. So this is what we get by increasing the rim. The wheel becomes lighter due to the reduction of the same tire profile, the car becomes more controllable, has better grip on the road, and, accordingly, becomes more stable.
But by increasing the diameter, you reduce the degree of passability of uneven areas, for example, when driving over rough terrain. And also due to the fact that there is less rubber between the rim and the road, it is easier to damage it. There is no point in reducing the profile from its rated value if you drive on poor-quality road surfaces.
The diameter of the center hole may be slightly larger than the diameter of the hub (the central part on which the disc is mounted). In this case, an additional adapter ring is used for installation and balancing.
If the diameter of the hole is smaller than the diameter of the hub, such a rim is not suitable: it simply cannot be secured.
