Choosing which wheels to put on a VAZ 2114, review of the best options

In today's post I wanted to answer frequently asked questions about choosing wheels for the VAZ-2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114, 2115. Which wheels are better 13, 14 or 15? This entry applies only to models of the ninth family (VAZ-2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114, 2115). Based on personal experience of using disks with a diameter of 14 and 15. Very often people ask me what diameter disks are best to buy for the ninth family, 14 or 15, for daily comfortable use. Comfortable daily use refers to vehicle operation in city-highway mode and off-road driving. I won’t talk about disks with a diameter of 16″, 17″, 18″ here since they are not suitable for daily comfortable use.

What discs are best to buy?

Now let's consider the following question - which wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2114. The answer to it has already been partially given above - wheels with radii of 13, 14 and 15 inches can be installed on this model.
As for the materials from which they can be made, the most common options are:

stamped;
cast;
forged.

The first discs are the cheapest, made from steel sheet using the stamping method (as is clear from the name). Their advantages include low price, very long service life, high reliability (they do not burst upon a sharp impact, but can only become deformed), and maintainability.

True, despite all this, many car enthusiasts try to purchase wheels of other types. This is due to the very high weight of the stamped “rollers” - it has a very negative effect on tire wear, fuel consumption, the overall handling of the vehicle, and also produces excessive load on the chassis. In addition, stamped wheels often look unsightly and are practically unsuitable for tuning.

Stamped discs

The second option is discs made by casting.

They have the following advantages:

small weight;
have a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption;
have a positive effect on the wear resistance of machine components;
have a positive effect on less tire wear;
better cooling of the braking system;
They come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, making them an ideal option for upgrading your favorite car.

Alloy wheels

True, they also have two serious drawbacks - a rather high price and greater fragility when impacted (in the event of a strong collision with an obstacle, they can simply crack, which makes them less safe than other types of disks).

Forged wheels

The last option is forged wheels. They combine all the positive aspects of stamped and cast wheels, and have only one drawback - a very high price (which is significantly higher than that of cast wheels). True, if it is possible to install them on your car, then they will become the best option of all possible and will last for many years.

Rating of foreign and domestic manufacturers

Which manufacturer should you choose? It is recommended to pay attention to those brands that have the most reviews from car owners. It’s convenient when you can find out in detail about all the pros and cons.

Most car enthusiasts prefer alloy wheels - popularly just “casting”. They are relatively inexpensive and look attractive. These “skating rinks” have a number of obvious advantages:

light weight, the engine is less loaded, the dynamics, albeit slightly, increase;
strength;
the load on the chassis is reduced;
a wide selection of different design solutions.

Today, the market offers products from both famous foreign brands and domestic manufacturers. Both have their pros and cons.

Alloy wheels from foreign manufacturers

It is very difficult for a beginner to understand the huge range of offers from various companies. Aggressive marketing sometimes pushes products that are not of the highest quality. Let's figure out which manufacturers should be given preference and which should be ignored. What you need to watch out for are counterfeits.

BBS. German company. At the dawn of its formation, its main focus was the production of wheels for racing cars. After entering the market of “skating rinks” for production cars, the brand almost immediately gained a foothold in the top lines of many ratings. They are distinguished by high quality (after all, it is real German) and strict design.

Alutec. Reliable and lightweight rollers from another German brand. Produced using unique technology. Additionally, they are treated with an anti-corrosion coating, which reliably protects the metal from the aggressive effects of reagents, which are generously used to treat roads in Russian cities in winter.

IWheelz. The company is from Singapore and has representative offices in China and Russia. It appeared on the market recently, but has already managed to get into the top list in terms of price-quality ratio.

LS Wheels. with original outline design. In addition to the classics, the proposals include a “sport” option and conceptual models.

RotiForm. Previously, the company dealt exclusively with forged wheels, but recently they also introduced light alloy wheels. The products are high quality and reliable. It is distinguished by the designers' non-standard approach to color design.

Enkei. One of the oldest wheel manufacturing companies in Japan. In the assortment of “rollers” for any car, there are many options for the VAZ 2114.

Among the best manufacturers, we cannot fail to mention well-known American brands: HRE Wheels, Vossen, ADV.1, as well as the Italian manufacturer OZ Racing. But these brands were not included in the list, firstly, because their specialization is mainly forged. Secondly, it is almost impossible to find their products in our stores. To buy such discs, you need to pre-order them on the Internet, then wait a long time, and not everyone is ready for this.

Alloy wheels from domestic manufacturers

Over the past few years, our manufacturers have been able to please with good quality and reliability of parts. But of all the companies that deserve attention, only two can be singled out. The first company is SCAD. Reasonable prices, excellent quality, original design. And the fact that the wheels are exported to such and Ford shows the prestige of our “skating rinks”.

The second manufacturer has also received worldwide recognition, this is K&K. Low pressure technology is used in production. Price, quality and reliability – all these parameters are at a high level. The only Russian company that gives an eternal guarantee for its products.

Manufacturers of stamped wheels

Such “skating rinks” are produced by many companies both in Russia and abroad. When choosing stamped wheels, their cost plays an important role, and technical characteristics in most cases are relegated to the background.

Dotz. The discs of this German company are known far beyond Germany. They are characterized by an attractive appearance and excellent quality, since the products are manufactured in strict accordance with European standards and norms. Their main drawback is that the price for stamping is too high and there is a high probability of stumbling upon a fake.

KFZ. Austrian company. It cooperates with many automakers; many foreign cars receive their wheels directly from the factory. They are distinguished by a high price and a huge number of fakes on our market. Domestic car enthusiasts prefer to choose more affordable options.

Metro. A well-known company in Russia and the CIS countries. The models are reliable and have an attractive design. As in previous cases, the disadvantage is the large number of fakes.

TZSK. The most popular and popular stampings in Russia, models of this brand are equipped with VAZ cars at the plant. They are inexpensive, of good quality and quite reliable, which is why they have earned popularity among motorists.

KRKZ. A well-known manufacturer of stamped wheel rims from Ukraine. Many domestic cars are equipped with such stamps directly on the assembly line. Today the quality is good, the plant has modernized its production line.

Eurodisk. Manufacturer from Uzbekistan, products are manufactured on modern equipment according to European standards. They are in demand due to their low price, but due to their average quality they are inferior to other brands.

Magnetto Wheels. Italian brand with a developed network around the world. Discs from this manufacturer are popular due to their high quality and affordable price.

Trebl. Chinese stampings, famous in Russia. The quality is quite low, but the price is the most affordable. This means that such a product is popular in our country, and too low a price bothers few people.

The best option for installation on a VAZ 2114 would be KRKZ wheels; besides, many VAZ cars are already equipped with them from the factory. The explanation for this is the crisis in Ukraine and the extremely low price for this reason. The second most popular option will be TZSK products; stampings from this brand are also inexpensive, and the quality is at a good level. Foreign brands are not as popular, mainly due to cost. The exception is the “Chinese”; many people choose them, since this is the cheapest option, and it is customary to simply turn a blind eye to low quality.

Factory standard options

Which brake discs are better?
On the VAZ conveyor, stampings with a diameter of 13 inches (1 inch is 2.5 centimeters) are installed on the VAZ 2114 model. Tires installed, as a rule, are not expensive, with a high profile.

For tuning enthusiasts, there is a lot to work on with such a basic option, because there is room to change the diameters of the rims and the height of the tire profile. One of the options for tuning a VAZ 2114 is to install wheels with the most suitable wheel diameter and minimum tire profile height.

On the VAZ 2114 you can install wheels with a diameter of 15″,

but you will have to install low-profile tires and you can install 14″ (14 inch) wheels and a tire width from 5″ to 6″. This is clearly written in the LADA VAZ 2114 passport.

What tires can be installed on 14″ wheels?

For such wheels, only two tire markings are suitable:

185/60 R14. This size is preferable.
175/65 R14.

Replacing standard wheels provided by the manufacturer with 15-inch ones may prevent you from passing technical inspection. Because the car's passport states that it is not recommended to install wide wheels on this car. This is what a four looks like with 15 wheels.

How to extend the life of disks

There are several rules that help increase the life of the “skating rinks”:

give preference to quality products from trusted manufacturers;
provide good care;
protect against corrosion;
carry out timely repairs;
contact only a professional tire fitting service and use the services of qualified specialists;
follow all rules for operating the vehicle, be careful and careful.

It is also important to buy discs from trusted places so as not to fall for counterfeits and low-quality products.

Let's face it, the standard VAZ 2109 wheels with dimensions of 175/70 R13 do not look particularly impressive visually. It's all about the high profile of the rubber with a visually small diameter of the disc itself. Therefore, car enthusiasts often have a question: is it possible to install wheels of a larger diameter, 14 or even 15 inches, on a VAZ 2109 without compromising the car’s performance and passing the next technical inspection? You will find the answer to this question by reading this article.

Forged

VAZ-2114 bolt pattern: selecting wheel rims

For several years in a row, forged wheels have been in constant demand. Their dimensions are perfect for a modified VAZ 2114.

Advantages

Several advantages can be highlighted:

Very high strength. They are superior to stampings in all respects.
Light weight, approximately equal to the weight of light alloy models.
External attractiveness.
They are characterized by high rigidity. They are considered very reliable, with a sensitive blow they only bend a little. Moreover, steel products are deformed much more strongly.

Forged wheels never rust. They do not require careful maintenance like their cast counterparts.

A little history

AvtoVAZ has prepared several wheel rim options for the “fourteenth” model. The installation of one or another depended on the configuration - standard or luxury. The manufacturer did not specifically offer a wide variety, since he understood that for such a simple car, buyers are unlikely to want to spend extra money on additional options.

After the planned restyling of the VAZ 2114, which took place in 2009, the range of wheels available for the model was replenished with cast sets. Of course, they were the prerogative of the luxury package.

How to install a 4x100 disk on a VAZ-2114

“Unwelding” discs: what is it, pros and cons

Most older foreign cars have a 4x100 drill. This makes it possible to diversify the choice of disks almost indefinitely. However, we must take into account that simply installing, without modifications, 4x100 wheels on a 4x98 seat will not lead to anything good. The fact is that the tolerance in the manufacture of the disk does not exceed 0.7-1 mm. That is, it is theoretically possible to put on a disk with a 4x100 fit, but this will lead to the fact that only one bolt out of four will fit exactly on the cone. The remaining fasteners simply will not tighten all the way and, as a result, the disk will sit with a distortion that is almost impossible to check by eye.

Systematic runout can not only lead to the fact that the only bolt that is tightened correctly will quickly become loose, but also to instant wear of the wheel bearing, and the remaining bolts will loosen on their own. There is a way out of this situation.

Disc runout leads to rapid wear of the wheel bearing

A less reliable option is to install bolts with an offset head. A not entirely correct option is to install studs, for example, from the cylinder head and nuts from Niva, but the studs are not designed for torsional force, so the most reliable option would be to install spacers. You can carve them yourself or buy them ready-made.

But here you need to take into account several nuances:

The width of the spacer must be at least 20 mm, since only in this case we will ensure proper thread strength.
In this case, the offset of the disk will increase by the same 20 mm, which must be taken into account when selecting a disk.
In this case, the disc must be selected with a minimum offset in order to remove the load from the hub and somehow compensate for the difference in offset.

Installation of non-factory wheels on a VAZ

If you want to install a wheel rim of a different design on a VAZ car, you should pay special attention to the offset value. The conventional marking of this value indicates the distance from the plane of contact of the wheels to the conditional center of the rim

This indicator is measured in millimeters.

The most suitable one can be called the ET36 departure. Of course, the PCD, or more precisely the diameter of the circle on which the wheel rim mounting holes are located, must be in accordance with factory requirements.

On VAZ-2114 cars, this value is 98 millimeters. In technical documentation, this parameter is noted as PCD = 4 × 98 millimeters, this is the bolt pattern.

The optimal ratio of the width of wheel rims, the bolt pattern of which is 4×98 mm:

175/65R14 – wheel width 5.5J;
185/60R14 – 6J;
185/55R15 – 6J;
195/60R1 – 6.5J.

You can change the wheels on a VAZ car yourself. For many Russian car owners this is not a problem. But if there is no practice, there is no need to rely on resourcefulness and ingenuity. The brake and disc systems of any car do not tolerate amateurs, since human safety is at stake.

From time to time, it is better to carry out diagnostics using certified equipment, and you can change the brake pads yourself. Moreover, such work is not carried out often.

Wheel rims can last approximately 40 thousand kilometers. However, if the owner takes good care of his own car, then this period can be extended to 100 thousand kilometers. The size of rims for VAZ cars, as well as their type, is at the request of the owner. The most important thing is that the choice of wheel rims should not contradict the characteristics specified by the manufacturer. So, when visiting an auto parts store and buying new rims, all of the above must be taken into account.

Tips for choosing

It’s unlikely that you should be told how to change disks. But we should talk about their choice in more detail.

Size is the basis for wisely choosing a set of new rollers for your car. The vast majority of cars today are offered with 13-16 inch wheels. As you understand, the VAZ 2114 was no exception.

Modern fashion tells us that it is important to install low-profile tires. Supposedly, this makes driving the car easier. Therefore, owners of the “fourteenth” model are switching from standard 13-inch wheels to something like 14 or 15 inches.

Let’s say right away that installing 15-inch wheels on such a VAZ model is advisable only if you are doing sports tuning for your car. Indeed, in such a situation, special brakes are used, the size of which does not allow them to be combined with standard wheels.

If you don’t know how to correctly select the parameters of new wheels and tires for them, then we advise you to turn to the instruction manual for help. It clearly states what sizes and markings you need to choose specifically for the VAZ 2114 of your modification. Rely solely on these data, since deviation from them negatively affects:

Management;
Security;
Turning radius;
Braking distance length;
Fuel consumption;
Chassis.

As you can see, the list of items is impressive. It’s definitely not worth risking your own safety or the integrity of your car for the sake of beautiful wheels. In addition, the modern range of “rollers” is so extensive that choosing beautiful wheels that are at the same time suitable in all respects for your specific car will not be difficult. Especially in the era of the Internet and online stores. What cannot be bought in the city can be ordered even in another country.

If you choose the right wheels, they will last you at least 40 thousand kilometers. And if you take care of them, monitor them, periodically carry out preventive maintenance, and also operate without unnecessary loads, then a set of disks will work for all 100 thousand kilometers without any problems.

Causes and consequences of damage

Driving on poor quality roads in Russia forces car owners to look for a new windshield at least once every year and a half. Even a very small pebble flying from under the wheels of a car can lead to damage to the part.

There are two types of damage:

Chips. If only a chip appears on the surface, the driver is lucky. This means that the first layer is damaged; it is not necessary to install a new spare part.
Cracks. You can't hesitate. At any moment, glass can crumble into pieces due to a hole in the road, and this will lead to an accident.

What can you do

If the driver fails to change it in time, there are several popular tips:

Using a glass cutter, make perpendicular cuts 0.5 cm long along the edges of the “web”.
Drill small holes with a thin diamond drill bit. The work requires accuracy, patience and attention.
“Weld” the crack. It's better to contact specialists. Without experience it will be difficult.

What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2114

When choosing wheels for any budget car, the fundamental criterion that motivates the purchase is the price. Expensive wheels (from 10 thousand rubles and more) on a VAZ 2114 with the same tires could amount to 25 to 30% of the price of a new car. This means that not every car enthusiast could decide on such an expensive purchase.

If we consider the parameters of the wheels on the VAZ 2114, without paying attention to the price, here you can also find a number of limiting factors, in particular:

First of all, the owner must know where he is going to use his car, because driving on the highway at high speeds implies the danger of using high-profile tires. A product under pressure may accidentally become deformed or even come off the wheel at too high speeds. In this regard, when operating a car on smooth asphalt, it is permissible to install tires with a profile of 55 mm or lower, which corresponds to a radius of R15-R17.
If a car enthusiast drives more outdoors, on dirt roads, then, on the contrary, he should leave the factory version on the car, and the replacement will only be with an increase in the width of the wheel. This is due to the fact that the side surface of the rubber also contributes slightly to traction on soft ground.
For the same reasons, a car enthusiast should choose winter wheels with a smaller radius, since loose snow often has the same characteristics and composition as dirt.

R15 wheels on Lada 2114
If we consider the color of the wheel, then the market today offers a wide range of different colors with predominant black and white shades. However, the price of such products is high, and often, when purchasing cast or forged wheels, the owner simply takes them to a car tuning studio, where professionals paint them in the color of his choice. So, a black VAZ 2114 on white wheels will look very impressive on the road.

When choosing a material and method of manufacturing a disk, in addition to the price, you need to pay attention to the grille pattern of the product (the owner of the VAZ should like it), as well as to the manufacturer who guarantees the strength of the product. “Stamping” cannot have a greater thickness of steel and has less strength than “casting” or “forging”. In addition, it looks much less impressive than other wheels, however, the low cost often attracts car enthusiasts, and they purchase various decorative caps made of plastic, steel or rubber that cover the unaesthetic appearance

Important! Experts recommend changing wheels either in pairs, that is, on the entire front or rear axle, or completely, if the driver’s budget allows for buying a set of four discs.

Drivers often have 2 sets available at once - one for the summer, with a large radius and high-quality low-profile tires, and the other for the cold season, when the radius is smaller, the profile is higher, and the tire surface is softer. Of course, these are additional costs, and not every person can afford such a step, but over 5 years of operation, tire fitting will cost the owner much less, and the procedure itself will go faster, which will allow him to compensate for the extra costs twice a year.

Alloy wheels R15 on 2114

Types of rims

Having figured out what the bolt pattern of VAZ 2114 discs is and how to compensate for it when using discs with a different type of drilling, let’s now talk about the discs themselves.

Currently, you can find 3 main varieties of them on sale, namely:

steel wheels;
alloy wheels;
forged wheels.

Steel wheels come as a standard factory option on all VAZ cars. They are characterized by low cost and, at the same time, good reliability and durability. In addition, in the event of an accident they are deformed without destruction, which in most cases allows them to be straightened and used again.

VAZ 2114 wheels

Cast wheels are made from aluminum alloys and due to this, as well as the overall complexity of their production, cost significantly more. At the same time, they are distinguished by a variety of shapes and options, due to which they are in high demand among those who like to tune their car (another important advantage is their low weight compared to stamped steel wheels).

True, they also have their disadvantages, the main one of which is their non-repairability. Due to its great hardness, in the event of an accident the cast disk does not collapse, but simply bursts, sometimes splitting into several parts. This is not only economically unprofitable, but also dangerous (for example, if a disc spontaneously breaks when driving on an uneven road).

Forged wheels combine all the advantages of steel and cast wheels, but without their disadvantages. They are made from aluminum alloys that undergo forging and pressing with further machine processing. This production scheme makes it possible to increase the strength of forged wheels up to 3.5 times compared to cast ones.

Concluding the conversation, it is worth saying once again that safety is a much more important thing than the attractive appearance of the car. That is why the installation of wheel rims should be approached extremely carefully and taking into account all the above recommendations.

Classification of disks by manufacturing method

Wheels for VAZ 2114 cars can be manufactured using different technologies, so before purchasing it is important to consider all the options available:

Stamped. This is the most common option, which combines various technical and practical features. Low cost combined with high quality are the main advantages that made the products popular in the automotive market for the VAZ 2114.

Among the advantages of stamped discs, we can highlight such qualities that have become the basis for the development of wide consumer interest: due to their softness, such discs are smoothly deformed, so the driver will not encounter unexpected cracking of the disc while driving; Considering that the discs do not burst, but bend, they can be easily restored.

Cast. You can even more often find cars on die-cast ones, since they are the personification of durability, reliability, quality and attractiveness. But you will have to spend a lot of money on such a model, since, taking into account the peculiarities of the technological process, the cost increases significantly.

The high cost makes such wheels not affordable for every buyer, but you can count on the following positive aspects: low weight, which makes the car easier to drive;

fuel consumption is slightly reduced; there is a large assortment of shapes to choose the most attractive option; The integrity of the tire is preserved, as it is protected from negative external influences.

Forged. Such discs are created by mechanical forging, so they have a solid structure. As a rule, these are white models with characteristic stylistic features.

Photos and technical characteristics of each option are an opportunity to choose the most attractive and high-quality type for equipping your vehicle.

Standard and non-standard disk models

The standard wheel model for the VAZ 2114 is considered to be 13 radius, since this ensures attractiveness and a harmonious combination with the tire parameters, which is considered an important advantage. But recently, more and more often on city streets, such a car is found with 15 rims, since this emphasizes the “aggressiveness” and a certain audacity of the car. If you want to choose such non-standard “sneakers”, it is important to consider the following recommendations.

Disc type	Description
185/55 R15	This is one of the most popular options for non-standard disk models.
190/50 R15	This wheel option is considered specific, so it is important to initially test the model on tires to understand whether it is suitable for subsequent use.

Among the non-standard models, we can also note the R17 wheels, which have a non-standard shape and are not suitable for everyone. Here it is important to note the technical and design parameters in order to avoid inconvenience during use. If you follow the opinion of experts, then in this case it is recommended to pay attention to the risk of the disk “popping out” and damaging the tire, so special care is required when considering the balance between attractiveness and safety.

In order for the wheels to be attractive and of high quality, it is important to purchase only from special stores selling automotive products, since this is the only way to guarantee quality, reliability and durability. It is also important to remember that disks cannot be very cheap, since, given the complexity of the manufacturing technology, the final cost is rapidly increasing.

How to install a 4x100 disk on a VAZ-2114

Disc with bolt pattern 4*100

The disc will not fit with its mating plane to the hub, and this will lead to the fact that it will have a runout.

Disc runout leads to rapid wear of the wheel bearing

To install a disc with a 4*100 bolt pattern, you need to either install a spacer or install studs with nuts instead of bolts.

But here you need to take into account several nuances:

The width of the spacer must be at least 20 mm, since only in this case we will ensure proper thread strength.
In this case, the offset of the disk will increase by the same 20 mm, which must be taken into account when selecting a disk.
In this case, the disc must be selected with a minimum offset in order to remove the load from the hub and somehow compensate for the difference in offset.

The size of the rims on the VAZ 2114 is standard, as is the case for tires, for example, for the “ten” it is 175/65R14, 175/70R13, or 185/60R14, it depends on the standard equipment of the vehicle, but for the wheel rims the dimensions are as follows: 14.4X98, rim width from 5.0 to 6.0, this largely depends on the width of the tire. For tires of size 15, VAZ wheels of the “tenth family” have parameters 6.0/6.5x15 4x98, and for tires with a diameter of 16, the parameters of wheels are 6.5x16 4x98.

In order to choose the correct wheel size for a VAZ 2114, without resorting to the help of specialists, you need to learn to “read” their markings, which are necessarily printed on each wheel rim. For example, let’s take one of them as a “base” and consider what the letters written on this disk mean. So, the type of marking of a car wheel rim is as follows: 5JХ ET=29 PCD=4Х98 DIA=58.6. The letters ET indicate the offset of the wheel rim. Standards can vary up to 10 mm, depending on the width of the rim. The dimensions of the wheelbase depend on the offset; the smaller its value, the wider the wheelbase.

The rim diameter of VAZ 2114 wheels is indicated in inches. The number 13 is the rim size. It should be added that this parameter may vary depending on the tire mounted on it. Next, PCD=4X98. This indicates the diameter, location and number of fastening holes (in mm). This diameter should not deviate from the standard. DIA=58.6 is the diameter of the hub mounting hole, indicated in mm. And finally, 5J. This number indicates the width of the wheel (again, in inches). For the same brand of car, this size may vary, depending on the tire installed. The letter J indicates 1 collar. When choosing rims for a VAZ car, you need to make sure that all their parameters exactly meet the requirements of the car manufacturer, because not only its dynamics, but also your safety depend on this.

In this section of the Internet portal KOLESATUT.RU you will find LADA wheels in different price segments. We offer a wide range of sizes and brands - from inexpensive to premium.

Popular options

Most passenger vehicles ride on rims measuring 13-16 inches. Today, installing low-profile tires has become very popular.

According to drivers, it improves car handling. It can be safely installed on a VAZ 2114. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are cars with 14-15-inch wheels on the roads.

When carrying out sports tuning, more modern brake mechanisms are installed. Their overall dimensions are slightly larger than standard parts, so it becomes impossible to install factory wheels back.

It is for this reason that R15 wheels are installed on the car. A conventional design with this diameter will have a width in the range of 3.5 - 7 inches. If this is a sports modification, it can reach up to 13 inches.

When choosing a rim for a specific tire, you must remember that its width should be 20% less than the tire profile.

What sizes of wheels and tires are suitable for VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110

Many owners of “nines” and “tens” would probably like to purchase alloy wheels for their VAZs. Indeed, this type of external tuning is the least expensive and can be easily done even with your own hands. Alloy wheels on the VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110, without problems or any negative consequences for the car, can be installed in three sizes: R13, R14 and R15.

You can, of course, try to fit “rollers” with a larger diameter, but at the same time you cannot avoid serious alterations in the design of the car, which will additionally cost the car owner a “tidy” sum.

Below we have described the main advantages and disadvantages of various combinations of tires and rims for VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110 cars (and their modifications), which can be installed without any modifications to the car.

What size alloy wheels and tires can be installed on VAZ cars?

The most popular size of alloy wheels on VAZ cars are wheels with a diameter of 14 inches (R14).

However, when installing wheels with a diameter different from the factory ones, you must comply with the width and offset set by the car manufacturer.

If these parameters are significantly exceeded, then in turns and when the car is fully loaded, the protruding wheels will constantly rub against the fender liners, touching the wheel arches and parts of the car’s suspension.

On Samaras (VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099) difficulties often arise with the rear wheels - enlarged wheels quite often “conflict” with the wheel arches and elements of the car’s suspension. Therefore, before purchasing, you should make sure that the sizes of alloy wheels you have chosen will not cause problems after they are installed on the car.

Normal and fairly wide alloy wheels on the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 can be, for example, 6 inches wide (J6.0) with an offset (indicated by ET) of 35-40 mm. For such wheels, standard VAZ 2110 tires (size 175/65 R14) are suitable, but tires with a width of 165 or 185 millimeters are also acceptable.

In addition, the “eights” and “nines” can be equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels with low-profile tires.

But then the offset should be within 30-35 mm, and the tires, for example, should be 185/55 R15 or 195/50 R15.

Installation of tires of size 195/55 R15 or 205/50 R15 is possible only on the front axle, because rear wheels with this diameter will require additional modifications to the suspension and wheel arches.

In our experience, tires of sizes 185/60 R14 and 195/50 R15 performed best on alloy wheels installed on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 vehicles. But this does not mean at all that other combinations of alloy wheel and tire sizes are not suitable for your VAZ.

It will also be useful to know that for all VAZ alloy wheels in the catalogs there is such a parameter as PSD 4x98. It means that four bolts inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 98 millimeters are used to secure the wheel rim to the hub. And the diameter of the central hole of all alloy wheels on a VAZ must be at least 58.5 millimeters.

Advantages and disadvantages of low profile tires

With low-profile tires installed, the vehicle's maneuverability and controllability are significantly improved - this is especially noticeable when cornering. The steering wheel becomes “sharper” and the car practically does not deviate from the trajectory due to the fact that the low sides of low-profile tires crumple less under lateral loads on the tire.

But when driving on a bad road, such wheels transfer much more shock loads to the body than standard-sized tires, and absorb various road defects less well.

It is worth noting that a tire with a low profile is quite easy to “punch” to the disk even on a small pothole and at low speeds, and the edge of the alloy wheel can become wrinkled and completely fail when using such tires.

And this is not surprising, because R14 wheels are standard equipment on cars of the VAZ 2110 family, the chassis of which is similar to the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093 and 21099 models. But with R15 alloy wheels, the likelihood of running into trouble when passing a technical inspection is much higher.

Trunk volume of VAZ-2114: dimensions and exact parameters

VAZ-2114 is a car that replaced the discontinued “Nine”, and immediately gained popularity and became in demand. Compared to its predecessor, this car model has several differences. The differences affected not only the external parts of the body, but also the interior. In particular, the VAZ-2114 has a large trunk volume. Door sill trims, moldings along the sides, a spoiler with a brake light - all this gives the car a modern appearance.

External changes affected the performance characteristics of the machine. In particular, this model has excellent aerodynamic qualities. It is stable on the road, even when driving at high speed. The combination of body colors and attached parts gives this car the appearance of a foreign car.

Thanks to its appearance, this car has aroused increased interest among people who are involved in tuning. At relatively low financial costs, such a car can easily be made into an original car that stands out from the crowd, thereby emphasizing the individuality and sense of style of its owner.

Trunk

Due to the ability to fold the rear seat, this car can easily be transformed into a utility vehicle. For this car model, the trunk volume is:

330 dm3 with seats folded down;
600 dm3 with rear seats folded.

The volume in liters is the same as in cubes (cubic decimeters).

This capacity of the machine allows it to transport even large cargo, which is especially important for those who often face the need to deliver any goods or cargo for other purposes to the unloading point. With the seats folded down, the trunk volume almost doubles.

In addition, if you need to transport a large amount of cargo, or, for example, you are going on a trip with the whole family, you do not have to be limited to 330 liters of space for storing things. Various fastenings and installations are available for sale for this car model, which allow you to transport much more things than will fit in the luggage compartment.

For example, you can install a roof rack. Various options for such mounts are available for sale:

Autoboxes.
Fastenings for sports equipment.
Baskets.
Expeditionary roof racks.

Thus, you will be able to make your car even more spacious and free up space for passengers.

Button control

It is very convenient when control (trunk opening) is carried out from a button

Every car owner knows that it is very important to ensure that the trunk, like the car doors, closes securely. Reliable operation of trunk locks is just as important as the reliability of the lock on a garage or apartment door.

All modern car models are equipped with a trunk opening mechanism using a control panel or a special button. Installing a mechanism with a button not only makes control more convenient, but also solves a number of problems. In particular, this solves the problem of icing of the lock, which is opened with a key.

The installation of such a mechanism can be entrusted to a specialist. But some car owners prefer to do this work themselves. To do this, you will need a steel cable, a roller, a connection button, a trunk drive solenoid and wires. The roller is installed on the wiper gear housing. If the roller is open, you can use braided cable. The easiest way to connect is to the cigarette lighter. Other options require appropriate knowledge of electrical circuits.

Should I choose stamped or cast wheels?

All types of wheel rims have their advantages and disadvantages:

Stamped. Due to ease of production they have minimal cost. In case of damage, dents are easily removed. They are heavy and require careful balancing;

Cast. Manufactured by casting from aluminum alloys. Due to their low weight, they reduce the load on the hub assembly by reducing the unsprung mass. Easy to balance. They are almost impossible to straighten when deformed, and due to their low strength they are susceptible to chips and cracks, which can only be eliminated by argon welding.
Forged. These are the same cast ones, only additionally strengthened by forging. With the same advantages as cast ones, they have much higher strength. Due to the complexity of manufacturing technologies, they have a high cost (R14/4×98 will cost at least 25,000 rubles).

If you plan to drive exclusively on smooth asphalt, then the best option is alloy wheels, which in appearance are practically no different from forged ones. When traveling over rough terrain, you should choose stamped wheels, since nicks can be removed on the road using an ordinary hammer. In addition, the VAZ 2114 on stamped R13 wheels looks quite stylish. Many car owners prefer swamp stamps.

Varieties

Selecting new wheels for a VAZ 2114 is not an easy task.

When choosing them, it is important to take into account a number of parameters, plus combine them with personal preferences

As for the dimensions, the emphasis should be on the diameter of the hub (58.5 millimeters) and its width (5-6.5 inches). For fastening, standard M12 bolts are used, the thread pitch of which is 1.25 millimeters.

As with most other cars, the VAZ 2114 is offered on the market:

Steel (stamped);
Light alloy (divided into forged and cast).

Stamped

Steel wheels are very common. Not surprising, because all “fourteenth” models are equipped as standard with exactly these types of “rollers”. However, they are popular not only because of this. These wheels are cheap, but at the same time reliable and durable.

When impacted, they do not shatter into pieces, unlike some other disc materials. They just get deformed. Such deformations are sometimes removed manually, although the best option is to use special equipment.

But they also have disadvantages, including:

Large mass, which negatively affects control, fuel consumption and tire wear;
Weight also affects the chassis and transmission;
Steel ones extremely rarely have an attractive appearance, which is one of the main reasons for replacing them with analogues.

Cast

Many car owners prefer to use alloy wheels on the VAZ 2114. This is due to a number of advantages that they carry.

They have less weight compared to stamped analogues.
Helps extend the service life of vehicle components and components.
Have a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption.
Cools the brake system more effectively.
They have a wide range of different designs that can become a real decoration for the entire car. It is enough to put the casting on the car and it will instantly transform. A simple but effective way of external tuning.

As for the disadvantages, they also exist:

Alloy wheels do not bend under strong impacts, as happens with stamped rollers. The situation is worse - a split is occurring. This leads to increased danger during accidents and high-speed movements;
The side surfaces begin to oxidize over time. This requires increased attention and periodic maintenance;
The cost of alloy wheels is noticeably higher than the price of steel counterparts.

Forged

Forged wheels, which are gaining popularity, are also perfect for the domestic modernized “nine” represented by the VAZ 2114.

Strengths include:

High level of strength that matches stamped discs and even exceeds them in some places;
Lightweight design, which is not inferior to alloy wheels;
External attractiveness of forged products;
High levels of rigidity and reliability. With strong impacts they bend a little, even less than steel ones;
The surface is not very susceptible to corrosion, so you don’t have to care for them as carefully as cast ones.

The only drawback of forged kits is their high price. If your budget allows, and such a purchase is really justified, put your VAZ 2114 on forged wheels.

Nuances of choice

Today, choosing new wheels for the fourteenth Lada is not difficult; to do this, you need to decide on your personal preferences and know some parameters:

hub diameter – 58.5 mm;
width – 5-6.5 inches;
bolts standard – M12;
thread pitch – 1.25 mm.

VAZ 2114 car owners can purchase for their car:

stamped (steel);
cast/forged alloy wheels.

Everyone chooses for themselves which models are more suitable for them in terms of road complexity and budget.
