Dimensions of wheel rims for VAZ cars

Using a car requires the owner to be careful not only in driving, but also in maintaining it in order to extend the shelf life and maintain all technical parameters. The VAZ 2106 is a domestic classic, combining power and driving comfort.

In addition, connoisseurs of classic appearance will be able to please motorists who do not have special requirements for the decorative qualities of the car.

A car consists of different components and systems, but in a special way it is worth highlighting the wheels, which simultaneously serve as a decorative addition and a technical device. The normal functioning of the wheels depends on the quality of the assembly, so each detail requires appropriate attention.

Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table.

The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 4x98. Thus, all disks are mounted on four bolts and the distance between them is exactly ninety-eight millimeters. The car's hub diameter is 58.5 mm.

Disc radius options

The cars were equipped by the manufacturer with R13 wheels, which combine technical and operational convenience. They were appreciated by owners who value the attractiveness and practicality of driving.

But if you want to update the appearance of the car and make it as solid as possible, it is recommended to pay attention to R14-15 and even R16 wheels, while providing the corresponding technical advantages.

Due to the fact that manufacturers have tried to carefully study the design features, car enthusiasts can count on ease of use in accordance with the established rules. Even a large radius will look perfect and will not cause a violation of the technological features of the vehicle.

But, as practice shows, it will be difficult for an inexperienced driver to drive a car on large rims, so it is recommended to gradually switch to them so as not to encounter operational inconveniences.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On what roads will the car be primarily used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for VAZ 2106 Zhiguli 2006?

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

Features of winter tires for cars

Many people believe that the difference between tires designed for different seasons comes down to the tread, namely its design. This is partly true; the tread pattern of winter tires is different from that of summer tires. However, the main difference lies not in the tread, but in the rubber composition itself.

The fact is that at negative temperatures, rubber changes its properties - it becomes hard, while the quality of the grip of the “hardened” rubber decreases. In winter tires, the composition has been changed so that it remains soft even at low temperatures.

But this condition also has a negative role - such rubber becomes even softer at positive temperatures, which leads to the fact that driving the car becomes more difficult, it begins to float a little on the road. Additionally, winter tires are often equipped with metal studs to improve wheel traction on snow and ice.

However, not all winter tires...

equipped with spikes - another type of stingray is produced, without spikes. Popularly, such tires are called “Velcro” or “cobwebs”. The fine, specially applied tread of these tires provides reliable grip on winter roads even without the use of studs.

All-season tires, which are supposedly designed for both summer and winter cold, are also popular among people. This is not an entirely correct judgment; rather, these are tires for the autumn-spring period, since in summer they are not hard enough, and in winter they do not have the required softness.

So you shouldn’t take any chances, and in winter use only tires designed for this period.

So, now the market offers a large number of winter tires for cars, including for our automobile industry; winter tires are sold for VAZ classics, as well as the new generation - 21099, 2110-2114.

One of the significant conditions...

When choosing winter tires for a VAZ, the “wallet size” factor is considered. After all, a lot of companies, both domestic and foreign, are engaged in the production of tires.

But this criterion also has one underlying reason - often tires from European manufacturers are designed for their winters, where the temperature is higher than ours. As a result, expensive tires can perform much worse on the highway than inexpensive domestic ones.

To say unequivocally which winter tires are better for classics and which for other models -

impossible, since each driver has his own opinion. Some people like Nokan Hakkapeliitta, which are considered one of the best, while others are content with the domestic Rosava, and consider the tires of this manufacturer to be quite good.

You can also note such companies as Hankook and Bridgestone, they also have tires that can be installed on VAZ. But in general, it all depends on the money available, as well as on certain preferences - “studded” or “Velcro”, with a symmetrical or directional pattern.
