Tires, wheels for Lada (VAZ) 2110 (LADA (VAZ) 2110)

Many owners of domestic cars make sure that their “iron horse” looks beautiful and somewhat unique. The widest range of light alloy wheels allows you to carry out minor tuning of your VAZ without relatively high costs and on your own. Let's look at how to correctly select and install alloy wheels on a VAZ 2110.

Brief overview of manufacturers

We provide a list of producing countries and a brief description of the products of each of them.

1. Products from China. The selection of Chinese alloy wheels is truly huge. Contrary to traditional opinion, it is worth noting that not all Chinese products are of low quality. Therefore, it would be appropriate to go shopping for wheels with a friend or acquaintance who has already purchased wheels from a certain Chinese manufacturer before and can confirm their quality.
2. Alloy wheels of domestic production are known to everyone for their affordable price and corresponding quality for the money. Alloy wheels for a Russian-made VAZ are a completely acceptable and adapted option.
3. The quality of alloy wheels from Turkey can be assessed as sufficient. However, the cost will be slightly higher than that of domestic analogues.
4. Asian manufacturers (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan) produce alloy wheels of fairly high quality and are recommended for use on all brands of cars.
5. Manufacturers from Western Europe and the USA offer the highest quality products, but also the most expensive. It’s worth thinking about whether it’s really necessary to purchase wheels for the “ten” at this price.

Manufacturers of wheels for VAZ 2110

There is a wide range of wheels for the VAZ 2110 on the market. A huge number of manufacturers can confuse even an experienced car enthusiast. Therefore, when choosing the optimal wheels for your car, you should carefully study information about all manufacturers. To do this, they should be divided by country:

1. Russia. Domestic wheels for the VAZ 2110 are a combination of low cost, reliability and durability. Considering that these are the wheels that are installed in the basic version of the car, it would be quite logical to replace them with higher quality wheels from a similar manufacturer. In addition, domestically produced wheels are designed taking into account the low quality of roads, so they will last a long time even under intense load.
2. China. Chinese-made disks are affordable and have mixed quality. However, even on the Chinese disk market recently you can find very good quality copies that are practically not inferior to European products. But you should buy wheels made in China only after personal inspection. When ordering such products online, the chance of purchasing low-quality discs is much higher.
3. Türkiye. Turkish-made wheels are distinguished by the use of high-quality materials, stylish appearance and durability. They can withstand driving on domestic roads, but their cost will be higher than Chinese or Russian ones.
4. Asia. In addition to Chinese, you can buy Asian wheels from South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Disks from these manufacturers are distinguished by excellent technical characteristics and reliability. They can be installed on a VAZ 2110, guaranteeing a stylish appearance and a comfortable ride. The cost is higher than domestic analogues.
5. USA and Europe. The most expensive options. They are distinguished by high technical characteristics, but due to the prohibitive price, their installation on a VAZ 2110 makes almost no sense.

When choosing the optimal model of wheels for a VAZ 2110, you should take into account indicators such as wheel size, center hole diameter, and tire size. In addition, you should make a choice between stamped and alloy wheels.

Choice of alloy wheels

When choosing rims for a VAZ 2110 according to technical characteristics, you must take into account the following parameters:

• diameter (in inches), indicated by the letter R;
• width (in inches), indicated by the letter J;
• offset (in millimeters), indicated by the letters ET;

• size of installed tires;
• the diameter of the circle on which the centers of the fastening bolts are located, for VAZ 2110 cars it is 98 mm (denoted as PСD 4x98 for VAZ);
• the size of the central hole, it must be at least 58.5 mm in diameter.

We present the permissible indicators of diameter, width, offset and their correspondence to each other in the table:

It is recommended to comply with the given parameters and correspondences. Otherwise, problems will arise either of a technical nature (for example, the inability to install wheels or accelerated tire wear), or the appearance will leave much to be desired (for example, low-profile tires on R 13 rims will look untidy).

You should also pay attention to the offset (ET) of the discs you purchase. It is possible that standard mounting bolts will be short and will only capture a few threads when screwed in. In this case, you should purchase extended bolts that will securely fix the wheels.

Some car enthusiasts install R 16 rims on low-profile tires on their VAZ 2110. This car looks really impressive, as can be seen in the photo. This is where all the advantages of such tuning end. Firstly, for such an installation you need to carefully select the wheels and seriously modify the design of your car. Secondly, low-profile tires when driving on our roads require caution to avoid strong impacts to the wheel, so as not to damage the rim.

Alloy wheels for VAZ-2110 cars. Their advantages and disadvantages

In short, this product can be considered a sign of a presentable car, because AvtoVAZ supplies them only to luxury car models in stock configuration. So what should you do, run to the store for new discs to emphasize your status? There is no need to rush too much, because in addition to the rather high price for a cast structure, they also have other known disadvantages. Let's take a closer look.

Let's start with the advantages. Undoubtedly, the VAZ 2110 alloy wheels are distinguished by rich design refinements and look excellent from an aesthetic point of view. This is not their only advantage. Casting technology is not least good because it allows you to reduce the weight of wheels. This has an extremely positive effect on the car’s braking distance, handling and driving characteristics in general.

Now let's make a reservation about the price. At best, 1 alloy wheel for VAZ-2110 car models costs about 2,500 rubles. This is only an approximate price, which may vary slightly in one direction or another. Much more important is the fact that this product is most often sold in sets of 4 pieces. and it is often difficult to buy them in smaller quantities.

Although it cannot be said that the wheels on the VAZ 2110 have a very exorbitant price, the amount invested in them can be quite stinging if they fail. And they can burst very easily from any sufficiently strong blow (stamped ones in this case simply crumple). There can be only one diagnosis - replacement. And, as you already understand, changing them piece by piece can be quite problematic, and such repairs are quite expensive.

Therefore, alloy wheels cannot be considered a kind of panacea for cars of the 2110 series. If you are not chasing the maximum technical characteristics of the VAZ and are not a fan of auto tuning, then you will be quite satisfied with the factory equipment of the “tens”. If you are a fan of drive and generally a great automotive esthete, then you will probably be very interested in the following sections of the article.

Marking features

All wheel rims are marked with a special marking that reflects all the parameters. Marking must be on any products, regardless of the material from which they are made. Let us show with one example what this or that number and letter in the marking means. For example, let’s take into account the marking 7.5Jx 15 H2 5×100 ET40 d54.1:

• the first digit 7.5 shows the width of the rim in inches from one inner edge to the other;
• the Latin letter J indicates the type of rim edge; the letters B, D, K, P, JJ, JK are also often found;
• the next “x” sign indicates that the disk is non-separable, otherwise a “-” sign is placed;
• the number 15 indicates the diameter of the disc, expressed in inches;
• the H2 symbol gives an idea of ​​the shape of the protrusions for fixing tubeless rubber;
• the expression 5x100 indicates that this disk has 5 holes for mounting bolts, and the diameter of the circle on which their centers are located is 100 mm (PCD parameter);
• parameter ET40 is the size of the protrusion in millimeters;
• parameter d54.1 is the diameter of the central hole in millimeters.

If the parameters of the presented markings are compared with the table that we provided for the VAZ 2110, then we can conclude that such a disk will not fit on the VAZ. That is, understanding the meaning of the wheel markings makes it possible to buy and correctly install beautiful alloy wheels on your car.

What wheels are suitable for VAZ 2110

Many Lada models have universal basic elements characteristic of a wide variety of modifications of these cars:

VAZ 2110

• device,
• engine volume and power,
• wheelbase,
• pendant,
• braking system,
• wheels and tires.

So, depending on the modification and equipment of the vehicle with different options, the following standard parameters for these products are set at the factory:

• The bolt pattern is 4x98, which is the same for all models of the automobile concern, which means that the wheel is mounted on 4 studs of 98 mm each, as well as the drilling or diameter of the circle along which the holes for the studs are located - 58.6 mm.
• What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2110? The simplest car configurations, regardless of the year of manufacture, were always equipped with stamped wheels in silver, white or black without decorative overlays with a dimension of 5.0J x 13 ET35, on which summer tires 175/70/R13 were put on.
• Further, all subsequent 3 trim levels with an engine capacity of 1.5 liters were equipped with wheels with dimensions of 5.0J x 14 ET35, 5.5J x 14 ET35 and 6.0J x 14 ET35, and this indicates the capacity of the wheel arches, under which with a constant offset The disk freely accommodated tires 175/65/R14, 175/65/R14 and 175/60/R14, respectively. All of the disks listed were also stamped, but already covered with caps.
• In more expensive versions with an engine capacity of 1.6 liters, wheels with an increased radius in a cast version were installed - 5.0J x 15 ET35 or 6.0J x 15 ET38 with tires 195/60/R15 and 205/55/R15.
• All new models produced by the automaker after 2005 did not use a radius greater than R15. However, in the initial version there were 2 top-end configurations of the brand, which came off the assembly line with wheels that were exclusive at that time. Thus, these cast wheels with designer grilles had parameters of 6.5J x 16 ET33 and 7.0J x 17 ET27, which corresponded to business-class foreign cars, and tires were installed in 205/50/R16 and 215/45/R17, but it could only be safely used in the summer due to its low profile.

R13 wheels for VAZ 2110

The most famous manufacturers of wheels for the VAZ 2110

It must be said that until today, when the VAZ 2110 was replaced by many more modern models, such as the Lada Vesta, X-Ray, Kalina, Priora and some other cars, the dimensions of the rims have changed little, and the bolt pattern and drilling remained identical. That is why all the rims produced for installation on newer versions are ideal for the “Ten”, with the rare exception when it comes to a model such as the “Niva”. Thus, among the most well-known market participants, the following well-known manufacturers of stamped, cast and forged wheels for this model can be identified:

• The undoubted leader among these enterprises is the Russian concern KiK, which has been producing wheels for Lada and many other brands for a quarter of a century. The peculiarity of the brand is that all light alloy products are produced only in casting with various design options. Any car enthusiast can find among the company’s assortment the entire size range indicated above, and the most popular series of the brand are “Attica”, “Arcade”, “Bering”, “Blade”, “Iguana”, “Mirel” and other models.

R14 wheels for VAZ 2110

• The second equally well-known manufacturer is also domestic, producing sports-style wheels with many curved spokes in various colors, including chrome. The brand is based on the Institute of Light Alloys and has its own technologies and equipment that guarantee ideal quality and reasonable prices.
• The next popular brand based in Russia is SKAD. All products of the Krasnoyarsk plant comply with international standards and work hard for export, and the quality is confirmed by the results of numerous tests, for which there are corresponding certificates. The company's design solutions for disks are offered in a very limited range, but at the same time, the mass nature of the model makes it possible to set a minimum price for them, which cannot but please the consumer. The range of radial sizes for products of this brand varies from R13 to R20.
• , operating in the Russian Federation for almost 30 years, founded by professional racers, produces a huge number of different product options, ranging from the classic 5-spoke design to exclusive wheels. A wide range of sizes allows motorists to choose a product for any purpose, from high-speed driving to off-road driving.
• The last company on the list is the Siberian brand IFree, which entered the market only in 2010, but has managed to gain great popularity. To occupy the desired niche in a period of high competition, manufacturers carefully developed various wheel designs, monitored quality and always tried to reduce the cost of their products. Thus, the brand gained popularity in the first years, and today it only continues to grow, and the manufacturer receives more and more positive reviews from numerous satisfied customers.

Features of disk sizes for “Ten”

The product dimensions listed above are ideal for the VAZ 2110, however, some climatic, operational and other external factors that may affect the operation of the car should be taken into account. All disc features for each radius offered by the manufacturer:

• Wheels on the VAZ 2110 are size 14 - a small wheel radius, typical for simple configurations or for economical drivers who install them to reduce costs. Most often found on the market in a stamped version, however, inexpensive and high-quality specimens can also be found in casting. Starting with a rim width of 6.0J, the wheels are ideal for installing winter tires, since the profile height of 60...65 mm guarantees reliable grip on the side surface of the tire even in deep snowdrifts.
• Wheels 15 by 2110 are the most universal size, at which the driver can safely install high-quality all-season tires and forget about changing wheels every six months for at least several years, depending on the driving style and the annual mileage of the car.

R16 wheels for VAZ 2110

• R16 - most often installed in a cast or forged version for comfortable driving around the city. The tire profile of 55 mm is sufficient for both dynamic driving on smooth asphalt and short trips outside the city on unpaved surfaces.
• R17 - for the VAZ 2110 are exclusive products that are installed exclusively for high-speed driving on high-quality roads. In the cold season, it is better to get another set of rims, since the cross-sectional height of a tire of 45 mm is not enough for safe driving on slippery surfaces.

When choosing wheels, it is important for the owners of the “Ten” to follow the factory parameters of the ET offset from 27 to 35 mm, since otherwise the wheels may touch the wheel arches, calipers or suspension elements, and also if the car owner purchases steel wheels for 2110 with zero or negative departure, then he needs to be prepared for rapid contamination of the side of the body of his “iron horse”.

By adhering to the geometric characteristics of the wheels specified by the manufacturer and choosing only trusted suppliers, any driver can be confident in the long and safe operation of his “Ten”. Also, when changing disks, the driver must remember that, while remaining in the same size and model, you should not buy only one wheel, and experts advise changing them in pairs or all at the same time, so that uneven wear does not affect the suspension imbalance.

As a standard, the plant installs stamped wheels on the VAZ 2110 car. Their quality is more or less normal, however, their appearance leaves much to be desired.

To stand out from the gray mass, experts recommend installing alloy wheels on the VAZ 2110. This will not only improve the appearance of the car, but will also have a positive effect on safety.

Photos of alloy wheels on the top ten

Choosing alloy wheels for the top ten is not very easy. The problem lies in approximately the same thing - each client is looking for the most interesting design from his point of view, which is combined with high quality and an affordable price.

The external parameter is a secondary issue in casting selection. First think about safety and product quality. And nothing else. Each set has the appropriate quality, composition and size. That's why the choice becomes more complicated.

Advantages of casting

The strengths of casting include:

• Lightness of design;
• Simultaneous strength of the product;
• High corrosion resistance;
• Positive impact on dynamics, since the total weight of wheels when using alloy wheels is reduced by 15-20 percent when compared with stamped ones;
• Effective thermal conductivity removes heat energy well from the brake pads;
• Attractive appearance.

But be careful while driving, as alloy wheels are extremely discreet. If you drive carelessly into a hole, the disc will be damaged. Whether to restore it or buy a new one depends on the severity of the “injury.”

Advantages and disadvantages of alloy wheels for VAZ 2110

Alloy wheels are the optimal solution for installation on a VAZ 2110 car. Their advantages include:

• the design is incredibly light;
• high strength and reliability of the structure;
• corrosion resistance;
• the use of alloy wheels has a positive effect on the dynamics of the car due to the fact that the weight of the wheels is significantly reduced;
• have a stylish, attractive and modern appearance;
• The high thermal conductivity of the discs allows heat energy to be removed from the brake pads.

Despite the obvious advantages of replacing stamped wheels with alloy wheels, they also have a number of disadvantages. The main one is the higher cost. In addition, when installing them, you should drive the car extremely carefully. A raid on a hole can result in damage to the disc. And replacing or restoring it is not cheap.

Pros and cons of “stampings”

The big advantage of stamped steel wheels is that they are stronger, withstand a more aggressive driving style, and are better suited to the quality of our roads.

Plus, they are manufactured by domestic manufacturers, which has a positive effect on pricing. Another advantage is the ease of repairing a damaged stamped roller.

Advantages and disadvantages of stamped wheels for VAZ 2110

Initially, VAZ 2110 cars in the basic configuration are produced with stamped wheels. And many owners prefer not to change them due to a number of advantages that such discs have:

• high strength, which allows you to withstand aggressive driving style;
• high performance characteristics are designed for the condition of domestic roads;
• affordable price;
• ease of restoration of the stamped disk in case of damage.

Their main disadvantage is their outdated design, which spoils the look of the quite stylish and modern VAZ 2110 car. In addition, stamped wheels are heavy and susceptible to corrosion.

Alloy wheels

The choice in their favor is explained by many factors, including quality and pleasant appearance. You don't even need to tune the wheels.

What you need to know about alloy wheels? Let's try to figure it out.

1. Light alloy rollers may contain aluminum and magnesium. They are divided into forged and cast.
2. Alloy wheels are quite good, but have a serious drawback caused by the poor quality of our roads. Their structure is granular, which leads to rapid destruction when driving. Over time, small cracks form on the surface of the “casting,” which develop into large cracks.
3. Forged wheels do not have such a drawback; they cope well with overcoming our roads. If the casting bursts, then the forged rollers bend. Hence the security of the latter is higher. Plus, less weight and non-corrosion speaks in favor of forged options.
4. The main disadvantage of forged ones is their high cost. Some wheel models cost almost half of your VAZ 2110. And in terms of design, the range is not particularly pleasing. For the “ten”, mostly the same type of models is offered.

What you need to know about disks

Today castings are produced in a fairly wide range. The VAZ 2110 fits wheels with a radius of 13 inches, although it is quite possible to drive an R15.

When installing non-original wheels, think about the offset and width. Their parameters must comply with the standards laid down by the manufacturer of the “tens”.

If you violate the recommendations, when turning and under maximum loads (full trunk, full passenger compartment), the wheels will begin to rub against the fender liners, touching the arches and suspension. Plus, the side parts of the body will always get splashed in dirty weather.

1. When installing 15-inch alloy wheels, use only low-profile tires, otherwise nothing will work.
2. If you want to install even larger wheels, you will need to make changes to the design of the car itself. And this is already a difficult task.
3. When a VAZ 2110 car owner chooses cast rollers, he often comes across such a characteristic as PSD 4*98. He says that the disk is fastened with four bolts that fit into the circle R98 .

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.

Explanation of symbols on tires and wheels can be found here:

1. Decoding the markings of wheel rims.
2. Decoding the markings of car tires.

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.

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.

Changing wheels

During operation, alloy wheels can be damaged, so they need to be restored or replaced with new ones.

Alas, the peculiarity of “casting” is that if the damage is severe enough, it is not possible to restore it. And it is not always advisable to try to restore the rollers, since this procedure can be even more expensive than buying a new set.

Please note that aggressive driving through holes and potholes is dangerous not only for the wheels themselves, but also for the suspension. After all, during an impact, all its energy is transferred through the disk to the suspension. This is not typical for stamped steel analogues. They themselves are deformed, but do not harm the suspension.

Damage to stamping

It is recommended to replace a damaged disk at a service station that is equipped with special equipment. The wheel may get stuck, and it will be impossible to remove it manually in your garage.

Contact a workshop for restoring skating rinks. Ask how much this procedure will cost and estimate the cost of a new kit. This way you will understand what is best to do in your particular case. Self-recovery is impossible for the simple reason that it requires appropriate experience, tools and expensive equipment. There is no point in purchasing it for a one-time restoration.

Tuning

Many VAZ 2110 owners do not spare money on tuning their car. Tuned rims can become a real decoration for a domestically produced vehicle.

There are a lot of options for how to decorate the disks.

1. Paint them in a variety of unique colors, make a combination of 2 or more colors.
2. Apply patterns and interesting drawings to the discs.
3. Equipping the wheels with LED lighting will make your trips around the city in the evening even more spectacular and will make others pay attention to your car.
4. If finances allow, order wheels with an individual design developed by you. Many companies provide such services.

But still remember that in the case of wheels on a VAZ 2110, their quality should play a primary role. Appearance is a secondary selection criterion. In no case is it the other way around. The current assortment is wide enough to find a set that will meet your aesthetic requirements and meet the standards of quality and reliability.

How to choose the right alloy wheels for VAZ 2110 cars

In order to choose the right wheels for a VAZ 2110, it is enough to take into account several basic technical parameters, and then purchasing them will become no more difficult than buying shoes in a shoe store. Knowing the basic data of the product, also written in its name, choosing them will not be difficult, just like trying on new sandals according to the size of your feet, sorting through interesting models on the counter.

Most stores on the Internet will offer you catalogs sorted by just one parameter - the outer diameter in inches. On VAZ-2110 cars, different diameters (R) are allowed for installation:

• 13 inch;
• 14 inch;
• 15 inch.

Larger diameter discs may seem more impressive and representative, but the price for such “happiness” also increases proportionally. On average, each additional inch not only increases the maximum disk size, but also directly affects the price of the product. The difference in price can be about 500 rubles. However, given the state of our roads, every extra inch can be decisive for the suspension of your car.
