Every driver should know that the size of tires and wheels is one of the main factors that significantly affects the behavior of the car on the road. Each manufacturer indicates the acceptable sizes of tires and wheels; this list consists of several options. Do you know what other tires and wheels are suitable for Vesta besides those specified by the manufacturer?
Vesta SV wheels from the factory
The standard dimensions of the slopes of the basic West SV assemblies coming off the AvtoVAZ assembly line have parameters such as 185/65/R1588Н . Some batches of these vehicles may be equipped with T-series tires. In this case:
- 185 – means the width of the slope in mm;
- 65 is the percentage of the tire profile compared to its width. If in millimeters, then it will be 65/100*185=120.25;
- R15 is not the radius, but the diameter of the rim intended for this tire in inches;
- 88 – this digital index indicates the tire’s permissible load capacity of 560 kg;
- H – means permissible speed up to 210 km/h. While T is 190 km/h.
Wheel bolt pattern on Priora. How to solve a problem?
Wheel loosening on a Priora really turns into a problem if you don’t know some tricks that can make such a procedure as wheel loosening on a Priora easy and effortless.
Method one. In order for the Priora bolt pattern to be successful, you can simply screw the disk onto regular elongated bolts. Another way would be to screw the disk with 3 bolts instead of 4. But this method is not safe and is used solely at the driver’s own risk.
Method two. The bolt pattern of Priora wheel rims can be done using special bolts - eccentrics. They make it possible to level out the resulting gap within a certain range, so they are often used by car enthusiasts.
Method three. Using studs, for example, from the cylinder head of a VAZ 2108, which are screwed into the hub, and the disc itself is tightened with nuts. In this case, the VAZ Priora bolt pattern can also be successful.
Whatever method of loosening you choose, you should always remember about the safety of movement. After all, wheels are the main element, on the reliability of which not only the comfort of movement, but also people’s lives depends.
When choosing wheels for a VAZ, you need to look not only at their appearance, but also at the possibility of using them on a particular model. In addition, certain technical characteristics must be taken into account.
The most important of them are:
- bolt pattern;
- diameter;
- departure;
- fastening elements;
- diameter of the centering hole.
Features of standard tires
Lada Vesta SV base assemblies come from the factory with Belshina tires, which:
- designed specifically for this car model;
- have high quality parameters;
- are products under the ART Motion brand. This, by the way, is not just a brand, but a sign that these stingrays undergo a series of tests for compliance with European standards.
In basic Vesta assemblies, these tires come with steel stamped wheels 6J15ET504x10060.1, where:
- rim width in inches – 6J;
- in inches, the mounting diameters of the slopes are 15;
- disc offset – ET50 or 50 mm;
- PCD or bolt pattern parameters (4 bolt holes, symmetrically located on a 100 mm circle) – 4x100;
- diameter in mm of the hole DIA for the hub is 60.1.
Stamped discs
Stamped wheels
The simplest and cheapest option is stamped steel wheels for the Lada Vesta. They are made by stamping with a mold. External differences in parts depend on the characteristics of the stamp; in accordance with its shape, the product takes on its final appearance. The main advantage of stamping is strength and resistance to external influences: abrasions, impacts, scratches.
R15 steel wheels are provided by the manufacturer when purchasing a car as standard. Recommended tire sizes are 175/70 R15. You can purchase stampings in many service centers and stores by pre-ordering them on the store’s website, where photographs and prices are presented. The retail price in Moscow starts at 1,300 rubles per piece and can reach 2,500 rubles.
Important!
When purchasing disks, you should first check whether fasteners are included in the purchase price. Sometimes fasteners need to be purchased separately.
Wheels for top assemblies of Lada Vesta SV
More expensive Vesta configurations are supplied from the factory with slightly different ramps than the basic assemblies, namely 195/55R1691Н . These tires are the German EcoContact produced by a company such as Continental and come in pairs with Ptalomey-16 6Jx16ET504x10060.1 appropriate for the tires .
As for wheels of the maximum size, for example, the Luxe version of this car is equipped with Ptalomey-17 or, in other words, 17-inch wheels.
It should be borne in mind that the basic assemblies of the Lada Vesta SV can be equipped with such wheels for additional money.
Regarding the compliance of standard and AvtoVAZ-approved tires and wheels, this information is presented in a tabular format:
The inch matters: will 17" wheels “kill” the suspension of the Lada Vesta?
We asked ourselves logical questions: how will an increase in disk diameter affect the sprung masses and, accordingly, the suspension life; whether additional tests were carried out, during which the engineers decided to modernize the units, or whether the tests showed that an increase in size would not have any effect on the running condition.
These questions were sent to the press service of the car plant. Were sent twice. But after five days we have not received any answer. Therefore, we decided to present the opinion of expert observers at Kolesa.ru and ask you, our readers, what you think about this.
Currently, the maximum wheel size available for equipping Vesta is 195/55 R16. At the Lada stand, a sedan was exhibited on 17-wheel drive wheels, “shod” in Michelin 205/50 tires.
However, in official images Vesta Exclusive is equipped with 17-inch wheels, but with Hankook 225/50 tires. We assume that the tire size of the serial Vesta in the new modification will be 205/50.
Now directly to the comments of our experts.
[su_capital_letter_new_2 letter='У' text='Increasing the diameter of wheel rims is not a new trend. This allows you to improve handling due to less lateral flexibility of the wheel and increase the volume of the brake mechanisms. The use of wheels with a diameter of 17 inches on the Lada Vesta will make the steering “sharper” and provide a basis for upgrading the braking system, which may be relevant for cars with a new 1.8 liter engine.']
Losses in dynamics, comfort and efficiency are mainly associated with an increase in the weight of the wheels; if the increase is minimal, then the negative consequences will be insignificant. In any case, the increased price of wheels and tires is compensated at the expense of the buyer. But whether AVTOVAZ will reconfigure the suspension taking into account changes in the elastic characteristics of the wheels and their mass is a big question.
Today Vesta has a very well-developed suspension in terms of the balance of driving characteristics. Time and tests will tell whether the car will retain its advantages in the form of a very successful combination of smoothness and handling.
[su_capital_letter_new_2 letter='У' text='installing disks of increased diameter does not always lead to an increase in the diameter of the entire wheel: you can put low-profile tires on a large disk, thereby compensating for the increased size of the disk. What will change? Of course, the appearance. Handling can be noticeably improved, which is especially noticeable when cornering at high speed (again, on good tires).']
Articles / #LadaVesta100 Goodbye, standard “casting”! Changing the rims on the editorial Lada Vesta Autumn time - the charm of the eyes? You can barely admire how the sun illuminates a red-yellow leaf, and then clouds, rain, and wind blow people into the Arctic Ocean... And what is that there, in the distance? This is... 62297 24 6 10.10.2016
But low-profile tires are not always good. Almost any bump is a “hernia” or through-and-through damage, sometimes a violation of the geometry of the disc with subsequent rolling out (which also does not benefit the disc).
Now let’s consider a situation where as the diameter of the disk increases, the diameter of the entire wheel increases.
This will immediately affect many parameters: acceleration, maximum speed, braking, fuel consumption. The speedometer will start to “lie” a little more, although not critically. In short, all parameters will become worse, only the maximum speed may increase slightly. Yes, and the ground clearance will be higher. Otherwise, everything is much sadder: the car will accelerate worse, and this will be noticeable.
Well, and the last thing: change in unsprung masses. A larger rim does not always mean an increase in wheel weight. Here you need to look at both the weight of the wheels and the weight of the tires. Still, I think the weight of a wheel with 17-inch wheels will be a little more. It is unlikely that this will have a critical effect on the service life of the suspension.
In general, this mass mainly manifests itself on uneven roads; if you drive on smooth asphalt, I don’t think that anything will change dramatically, except that gasoline consumption will slightly increase if the wheels are really heavier. In principle, the combination of a 17-inch wheel with low-profile tires can be a boon, but only for those who drive on good, smooth roads. If there are such people in Russia.

Tire pressure
Such a parameter as tire pressure is usually ignored by newcomers to our garage community. However, tire pressure is an important factor during the operation of a car, due to the fact that, for example, low pressure;
- is a consequence of accelerated tire wear;
- causes increased fuel consumption;
- makes both tires and rims vulnerable to the effects of potholes.
As for too high tire pressure, this can lead to:
- Fatal accidents resulting from a tire blowout at speed;
- increased wear of the suspension;
- discomfort while driving.
The optimal tire pressure is indicated by the factory, as a rule, in two places, namely in the operating instructions, as well as in some visible place directly on the car. As for Vesta SV, this information is available in the form of a plate on the end of the driver's body pillar.
Lada Priora wheel bolt pattern
All front-wheel drive VAZ vehicles, including Kalina, Priora, Granta, 2113-14-15, are equipped with wheels with a 4x98 bolt pattern.
The wheels for all these models are interchangeable.
On most front-wheel drive VAZ (Lada) cars, including Kalina, Priora, Granta, trinashki, chepyrki, tags, wheels with a 4x98 bolt pattern are installed. If desired, you can install it with a 4x100 bolt pattern, but you will need a different type of bolt.
Wheels are an extremely important component in any car. The safety and comfort of movement often depends on this detail, especially in a car like the VAZ Priora.
The manufacturer has equipped the car of this brand with rims with a diameter of R14 and a width of 5.5. But the manufacturer also provided the possibility of replacing native disks with disks used on other models.
If within the Volga automobile industry models the interchangeability of wheels and tires is a common thing, then as for foreign cars, everything is much more complicated. After all, sometimes it happens that the owner of a VAZ easily gets wheels from a foreign car, where the workmanship is better and the appearance is more attractive.
But one problem arises: foreign-made rims have slight differences in the location of the holes for the bolts, which differ from VAZ ones. But how do you install wheels from a foreign car on your dear and beloved Priora?
This is where the concept of chatter comes into play. To understand what a bolt pattern is on a Priora, you need to understand the very concept of a bolt pattern.
Tuning wheels that are not suitable for Lada Vesta
The most common reasons for installing non-standard wheels can be both tuning measures and restoration procedures after an accident in compliance with the rules of pairing, both in terms of tread patterns and the same degree of wear.
It should be borne in mind that 185/55/R15 wheels, both Priori and Grant, as well as Kalin, cannot be installed on Vesta SV due to the fact that:
- the DIA parameters for the hubs of these disks are 58.5 mm, in contrast to the 60.1 mm size of the hub holes for standard disks for West SV;
- the PCD bolt pattern for non-standard disks is 4x98 or not 4x100;
- The mounting holes of the disks will always mismatch.
Top 2. Hankook Winter i*Pike RS
Rating (2021): 4.49
472 reviews from resources taken into account: Yandex.Market, Mosavtoshina
- Characteristics
Price: 4610 rub.
- Country: South Korea
- Load: 365-900 kg
- Speed: 190 km/h
- Tread pattern: symmetrical
With a careful driving style, the Winter i*Pike RS behaves very well on the winter road. The studded model passes well through areas with ice, and walks on rolled snow and icy slush. But if you increase the speed a little, slipping immediately occurs. If you often have to drive the Vesta Cross on bare asphalt, the noise level and the length of the braking distance will pleasantly surprise you. To lose the spikes in the first two seasons, you will have to try - the steel pins are surprisingly tenacious. The owners note that Winter Eye Pike, at zero temperatures, suffers from rolling when changing lanes.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Stays confident on the ice
- Low noise
- Excellent grip on bare asphalt
- Sturdy cleat fit
- Rollability at zero temperature

Oversized wheels
Wheels of abnormal size not only change the appearance of the car, but also have a significant impact on both the dynamics and stability of cars on the highways. And, perhaps, the only improvement in the use of large-sized wheels is an increase in cross-country ability by increasing the ground clearance of the same West SV.
It is possible (and the factory does not prohibit this) to equip the Lada Vesta with 18-inch wheels.
But negative consequences in the form of increased wear, as well as the possibility of early failure due to the national characteristics of Russian municipal roads, may forever discourage such tuning experiments. Moreover, if you consider that large-sized slopes are much more expensive than standard tires.
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.
| Brands | Manufacturers | Minuses |
| Enkei. | A world-famous company from the Land of the Rising Sun. Production is established both in Japan and in Europe and Asian countries. Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan use rollers of this brand on the assembly line. If you buy from an official dealer, you can purchase reliable ones, varied in design and of any size. Many car enthusiasts note that the original sometimes does not require additional balancing. | Unfortunately, Chinese copies are more common in Russia and the CIS countries. |
| Replica. | An inexpensive and accessible option for high-quality copies of various branded discs. The advantages include multi-level testing in production, a wide range, reliability and durability. | Their main drawback is that it is still not original. But the price is correspondingly significantly lower. |
| SCAD. | A Russian brand engaged in the production of inexpensive and high-quality cast and stamped wheels that meet international standards. The design is dominated by rigor and classics. Well balanced and durable from the factory. | The downside is the heaviness and soft metal. |
| K&K. | Russian-German production, the products are certified and are branded for the AvtoVAZ and GAZ plants. Wheels of this particular brand are installed on Vesta on an assembly line. A unique painting technology is used. The products are famous for their long warranty on paint and “lifetime” warranty on metal, as well as a huge number of models of different designs. | Among the disadvantages, the softness of the material of light alloy products is noted. |
| Alutec. | The disks of the German company are characterized as the most durable, which is confirmed by numerous tests and inspections by independent organizations. There are both expensive and inexpensive models, with different colors and designs. These are very light and reliable rollers. | Their main drawback is their high cost. |
If desired, you can choose alternative wheel sizes depending on your financial capabilities, design preferences and other requirements.

↑ Body care rules to maintain fresh color
To preserve the original snow-white color for a long time, several rules must be followed: avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, exposure to alkali and petroleum products, remove dirt, promptly identify pockets of corrosion and treat them.
Important! When washing, it is important not to use hot water, foam rubber or cloth; you must use a hose. You cannot wash your car in the cold, in the sun, or leave it to dry without wiping it dry.
Scratches and cracks are treated with anti-rust chemicals, then primed and painted over.
To restore the paintwork, polish is applied to the surface of the body once a month. The desired temperature is about 20 degrees.

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.
What is the wheel bolt pattern on the Lada Priora?
Guys . I've been looking for wheels for the summer for a long time. and when I was told that my bolt pattern was 4*100, I looked at some cool Lenzo plus wheels.
and was almost ready to buy them in a couple of weeks) but the other day I was told with 100% certainty that all vases have a 4*98 bolt pattern, I checked and it turned out to be true. the fact is that there are no particularly cool disks on 4*98 except for Slicks and VSMPO, no offense to owners of other disks)
I just haven’t found others like oz, lenzo, etc.
Question: is it possible to put on wheels with a 4*100 bolt pattern on a 4*98 bolt pattern? and what will change in the driving and other qualities and behavior of the car?
I'm looking for 15 diameter wheels. or can anyone suggest some cool wheels for my basin?
The size of tires and wheels significantly affects how a car behaves on the road. Each manufacturer indicates the acceptable sizes of tires and wheels; as a rule, this list is limited to several options. We'll tell you what other tires and wheels are suitable for the Priora besides the factory ones and how this will affect the operation of the car.
