Lada Kalina is the first car of the Russian concern AvtoVAZ, produced in 2 generations over 14 years, from 2004 to 2022, and had an appearance close to Western competitors in this class of compact cars. In terms of the cost of the basic equipment, Kalina was always ahead of its European competitors. The high reliability of this Lada made it possible to operate it for 8-10 years, which led to the need to replace worn parts, and the main ones were always the wheels.
Lada Kalina wheel size: tires, wheels, bolt pattern
Lada Kalina owners often wonder what kind of wheels and tires are suitable for this car? In this case, the manufacturer provided an answer to this question and compiled a list of possible options for installing different wheel and tire options on Kalina. But the bolt pattern also plays a big role.
Tire size on Kalina (factory)
According to the manufacturer's data, three tire sizes can be installed on the Lada Kalina. It depends on the year of manufacture of the car. So, let's look at what options exist for installing tires on the Lada Kalina:
- The most common size option is 175/70R13. This is the standard size of “Zhiguli” tires, which takes its history back to the “Classics”.
- The second most popular size on the VAZ, but the most common on the Lada Kalina is 175/65R14.

- The third standard tire size option is 185/65R15.
Standard version of wheels for Lada Kalina in LUX configuration: 6.0×15 4*98 ET 35 dia58.6
All other tire size options are non-standard and are not recommended for installation on the Lada Kalina.

Disk size
There are two options for installing disks on the Lada Kalina according to the technical documentation:
5.5x14
Wheel rim 5.5*14*98
6.5x15
Standard rim R15

To install other discs, you will have to replace some suspension and control parts.
Bolt pattern and possible options
Bolt pattern is the fastening of the wheel to the hub using bolts or special studs. Simply put, this is the size of a car's "shoe."
Wheel rim for Kalina with bolt pattern 4*98
For all generations of Lada Kalina, the bolt pattern is standard 4x98, although there were experiments when some cars came off the assembly line with a non-standard parameter - 4x100.
In order to change the wheel bolt pattern, you will have to turn to tuning and replacing some suspension elements. Such alterations are mainly carried out by tuning studios, since the selection of spare parts for the Lada Kalina is quite complicated. In this case, you will have to replace the hub, brake disc, steering knuckle, tie rod ends and shock absorber struts. We have already written in more detail about replacing front shock absorbers in this material.
conclusions
When selecting tires and wheels for Lada Kalina, all parameters should be taken into account. For proper installation, wheels with the appropriate size and bolt pattern are first selected, and only tires for them are selected. On the contrary, it will be much more difficult to search. Replacing wheels and tires is easy in a garage or tire shop. After installing new parts, an alignment should be done to prevent increased wear.
Car modifications
Lada Kalina was produced for 14 years. The manufacturer offered the consumer two generations of small class cars.
First generation
The debut car of the Kalina family appeared at AvtoVAZ in 2004. It was released as a sedan. The first generation cars were equipped with 1.4 liter (89 hp) and 1.6 liter (81 and 98 hp) petrol engines. In 2006, Kalina hatchbacks appeared, the next year - station wagons, and a year later - a sports modification. Depending on the configuration, the car was equipped with ABS, electronic power steering, airbags, and an air conditioning system. During production, changes were constantly made to the equipment of the vehicle. In 2009 and 2011, Lada Kalina became one of the best-selling brands in the country.
Second generation
In 2013, the plant's conveyor belt was modernized to begin production of the next generation of cars. LADA Kalina 2 was produced in hatchback and station wagon bodies. It is characterized by a more modern appearance, better aerodynamics and increased comfort. Improved powertrain, suspension and gearbox are distinctive features of the vehicle compared to previous generation models. Both hatchbacks and station wagons were equipped with 1.6 liter engines with variable intake, the power of which varied between 87...106 hp. A manual or automatic transmission was installed.
The maximum configuration included the installation of anti-lock systems, stability control, air conditioning and navigation, a traction control module, an after-braking system, a passenger airbag, a touch screen, heated front seats, a rain sensor, etc.
The latest modification of the Kalina family is the Lada Kalina Cross. It is distinguished by increased ground clearance, a modified final drive ratio and a more aesthetic appearance, for example, due to decorative trims on the wheel arches and sills.
In 2022, production of Kalina family cars was discontinued.

Tires and wheels for Kalina (compatibility and photos)
| External tuning of a car begins with replacing standard stamped wheels with cast ones. And here the first question arises: what wheels to put on Kalina? In this article we will look at the size, parameters of Lada Kalina wheels and their compatibility. |
Standard tire and wheel sizes for Lada Kalina
From the technical characteristics of the car it turned out that, depending on the configuration, the standard size of Lada Kalina wheels can be as follows:
- 175/70R13
- 175/65R14
- 185/60R14
Lada Kalina tires and wheels have the following parameters:
Standard disks and their parameters
Representatives of the first generation Lada Kalina were equipped with stamped versions of wheels with dimensions of 13-14 inches. Then light alloy options saw the light. They had a diameter of 14 inches.
When owners deliberately strive to lower the tire profile, they immediately betray themselves with a desire to install larger rims. For Kalina, you can use 15-inch options, which is what the manufacturer does in its sports modifications, but other options will require a bolt pattern.
All body versions of the Lada Kalina in the first generation (2003-2014), from civilian to sports versions, were equipped with the following list of wheels available from the manufacturer:
- products "5J" to "13 ET40"; with them we can use the wheel size “175x70xR13”;
- “5.5J” on “14 ET37”, the manufacturer included tires “175x65xR14” in the kit;
- options “6J” on “14 ET37” has wheel size “185x60xR14”;
- “6.5J” wheels on “15 ET35”, the wheel size “195x50xR15” goes well with them;
- “rollers” “6.5J” on “16 ET45”; everything is serious here, because the tire size “195x45xR16” turns the Lada Kalina tires into real “bast shoes”.
Body modifications of the domestic model in the second generation (after 2014) were awarded the following wheel options and tire sizes like them:
- “5.5J” on “14 ET35”, where we find tires “175x65xR14”;
- go to options “6J” to “14 ET35”; they imply cooperation with “185x60xR14” tires;
- product versions “6J to 15 ET35”, tires “185x55xR15”;
- “6.5J” wheels on “15 ET35”, “195x50xR15” tires work with them;
- flagships “6.5J” on “16 ET35”; such wheels “are not ashamed to put on” tires, and the tire size is “195x45xR16”.
Interesting moment! The “Norma” and “Standard” versions, which the manufacturer produced during the entire time the second generation Kalina was on the assembly line, are deprived of standard light-alloy products. The “luxury” Lada Kalina is able to please its buyer with such wheel options, especially since the developers here have provided the opportunity to choose between the “R14” and more respectable “R15” versions.
Characteristics of wheels on Lada Kalina Cross
Starting in 2014, Russian engineers of the AvtoVAZ concern slightly adjusted the suspension of the Lada Kalina station wagon and they got a crossover, since the car was raised a few more centimeters above the ground. In addition, the necessary attributes for a small SUV were added to this version, and a fundamentally new car rolled off the assembly line - the Lada Kalina Cross. Of course, in order to match the qualities of the SUV, the car is equipped with slightly different rims.
The wheel size for Kalina Cross in the simplest configuration is 5.5J x 14 ET35, and for a slightly more expensive modification - 6.0J x 15 ET33, which corresponds to tires 175-185/55-65/R14-R15, but in this In this case, the car does not look very impressive due to too large gaps between the rubber surface and the wheel arches. Therefore, many car enthusiasts change the tire profile without touching the wheels to 70 and even 75 mm, which creates the effect of a real SUV.
In richer trim levels, the car is equipped with a slightly larger radius of wheels with parameters 6.5J x 15 ET30, and 195/55/R15 tires fit perfectly on them. This size is in high demand among buyers, as it is optimal for both smooth asphalt and off-road trails.
What disks are suitable as an alternative to the standard versions?
It's time to change the “original” wheels. The main thing here is not to overdo it, but to choose products that are as similar in design and geometric aspects as possible to the standard options. Note that the wheel parameters “don’t care” what body is in front of them (sedan or etc.).
To make the right selection, you will need to gain valuable knowledge such as:
- the quantitative composition of the holes for the mounting bolts and the diameter of the circle, the conditional line of which passes through the centers of the indicated holes (“LZ*PCD”, for Kalina - “4*98”);
- diameter of the central hole of the disk (“DIA”); for disks of this model it is equal to 58.6 mm (coincident with the hub diameter with tolerance);
- the offset value (or “ET”), which varies in values (to be specified later).
Let's summarize here.
1. The first generation of LADA Kalina in versions “1117”, “1118” and “1119” can be equipped with wheel versions from 13 to 16 inches with the following parameters:
- bolt pattern - 4*98;
- width – from 5 to 6.5 (inches);
- departure – from 25 to 35.
2. The second generation “2192” and “2194” will be content with wheels from 14 to 16 inches with the following characteristics:
- “LZ*PCD” similar parameter (4*98);
- width – from 5.5 to 6.5;
- offset: 25 – 35;
- the hole diameter is identical at 58.6 mm.
It should be remembered that correctly selected wheels will allow you to achieve traffic safety, moderate fuel consumption, and also increase the service life of the suspension.
17" casting machine
See how the Kalina-2 hatchback can look on 17-inch wheels:
Kalina-2 on 17-inch casting, with and without lowering
There are two tuning options presented here, with and without lowering, and the wheels used in both options are: 7Jx17 ET-38. Tires – 205/40 R17. According to the creator of the first method, there are no problems in the end. In other words, the wheels do not cling to the body anywhere even when the car is loaded. The only thing is that when you turn the steering wheel all the way, one of the wheels still slightly touches the alloy, but this can be neglected.
It is necessary to take into account the following: if you simply take and install wheels with 205/40 R17 tires, the landing of a Kalina-2 hatchback or station wagon will increase to 175 mm (the standard value is 160 mm). In general, the next step will have to be a well-executed understatement. Author's version: the front suspension uses struts and springs shortened by 90 mm, the rear suspension is also equipped with shortened shock absorbers and springs (–90 mm). You don’t have to lower anything, but simply install the newest wheels, and this tuning method has been verified by its owners in reality. But it is unlikely that a car with a landing increased to 175 mm has better maneuverability than the factory version. We will leave the choice to the owner.
Stamped and cast: which is better?
According to the production method, wheels for LADA Kalina are divided into two global categories: stamped (from steel sheet) and light alloy (forged, cast or combined).
For the first option, manufacturing involves welding individual structural elements of the product. The technology is simple, which has a positive effect on the cost of disks.
Among the advantages of “stampings” we note:
- reliability;
- maintainability (tendency to eliminate bent areas);
- durability.
- it is difficult to perform auto-balancing;
- significant mass of products;
- lack of design possibilities (same type);
- low corrosion resistance.
Now let's touch on light alloy options. Such discs are more progressive products that are made from light metal alloys such as magnesium and aluminum, etc.
When choosing the kit you like, we recommend paying attention to the indication of the primary metal included in the material structure.
Bolt pattern of rims and wheels on VAZ-2110
Dull VAZ stamped wheels are often hidden behind elaborate plastic caps. And for good reason. Every owner of a VAZ-2110 wants his car to stand out from the mass of gray and black dozens. One of the ways to improve the appearance of a car is deservedly considered to be replacing the wheels. Not many people think that when selecting a replacement disk, you need to take into account not only the number of mounting holes. Today we will look into the bolt pattern of VAZ-2110 wheels and select several options for a simple and bloodless replacement.
What does loosening mean?
Each wheel rim, like a tire, has its own purpose and its own parameters. The most popular on our roads are steel stampings and alloy wheels.
Basic parameters of the wheel rim.
A competent owner always has in stock not one set of disks, but several. The use of casting is safe and rational only on good and near-ideal roads. In our areas, steel wheels dominate, but they are not all the same. You can select the right replacement disk only by knowing its exact parameters. Only then will it guarantee a safe and comfortable ride.
Wheel bolt pattern parameters for VAZ-2110
Stamped wheel 5.0J14 4×98 ET35 d58.6 for VAZ-2110.
All VAZ vehicles are equipped with rims that meet the so-called “Italian” standard.
And this is not in vain, if you remember the history of the plant. The disk parameters for the VAZ-2110 are as follows: 5Jx13 PCD4x98 ET35-40 DIA58.6. In order not to get lost in symbols and numbers, let’s look at each parameter in order:
The exact parameters of the wheel rim must be stamped on it.
Wheel selection rules
For the “ten”, the original wheels are 13- or 14-inch with a 4x98 bolt pattern, where 4 is the number of holes, 98 is the diameter of the circle on which they are located.
In fact, there is nothing complicated about it. It is not necessary to put your life in danger by installing discs with a drill even 1 mm more or less than permissible. Any wheels from Italian and some French cars are perfect for cars of the tenth family. Of course, with the same bolt pattern.
Here are just some of these cars:
- Ford Ka produced after 2009;
- Lancia Delta;
- Lancia Lybra;
- Lancia Musa;
- Lancia Ypsilon;
- Peugeot Bipper;
- Alfa Romeo 145, 146, MiTo;
- Citroen Nemo;
- a huge number of Fiat car models.
Table with bolt pattern 4x98.
It is worth noting that new VAZ cars have changed the Italian size to French. This happened with the arrival of the French B0 platform on the assembly line, on which Vesta, Largus, and Xray are built. Their disc drilling parameter is 4x100 mm. Select the right discs and do not forget about safety!
Video on how to choose wheels
How to choose the best wheels with a diameter of 16 inches
Let's calculate what the outer diameter of the tires of the next standard size is: 195/45 R16. The resulting value is 582 mm. Which is 2 mm less than the outer diameter of the tires installed by AvtoVAZ itself. And the rim of an alloy wheel with a larger diameter should not be narrower than 7 inches (7Jx16 wheels are required). It is curious that the only configuration of the Kalina-2 Sport uses tires of size 195/50 R16, but we are going to install the lowest profile tires.
Various Kalina-2 hatchbacks with 16-inch wheels
Now, let's talk about the meaning of departure. It is clear that it must be from the spectrum ET-35 - ET-38. When using a larger value, we eliminate the possibility of “catching” the alloy with rubber, but add load to the chassis. In general, wheels with an offset of ET-38 can be installed if the warranty is not needed. The value recommended by AvtoVAZ, ET-35, is suitable: almost all owners of VAZ cars receive 7Jx16 ET-35 wheels, if we talk specifically about 16 inches. On such wheels they mount tires 205 mm wide and 92 mm high, and somehow the whole thing rides. Our conclusions:
- 205/45 R16 – not recommended, but viable;
- 195/45 R16 – fully suitable.
Note that the conclusions refer to the option of using disks of the following standard size: 7Jx16 ET-35.
Finally, just to be on the safe side, we will list which specific drives are installed on Kalina-2 from the factory. If we are talking about casting and a diameter of 15 inches, the width of the rim can be equal to only 6 inches (no less). Another option used is 5.5Jx14. This information must be taken into account when choosing - you cannot take narrow alloy wheels with a huge diameter.
The mounting holes for some disks are located on a circle with a diameter of 100 mm. We need 98 mm, but we won’t be able to distinguish one from the other by eye. Therefore, when making a choice, be careful. It’s worth remembering that installing disks with an incorrectly selected PCD parameter value is prohibited. Happy tuning!
