What tires and wheels are best for Niva Chevrolet?

The Chevrolet Niva, which people affectionately shortened to “Shnivy,” has been produced from 2002 to the present. The presence of the famous American brand “Niva” in the name is due to the cooperation of GM and AvtoVAZ. True, in 2019, the Russian automaker bought a share in the joint venture from the Americans. Therefore, the Niva will soon be updated and will be produced as a LADA with a new factory index.

But let’s figure out what size wheels you have on your Chevrolet Niva and what options there are for replacement.

What kind of car are the wheels suitable for?

What kind of discs are given to the Niva “by nature”? Well, more precisely, the dimensions that are given to this car from the manufacturer. If you look at its “native” disk parameters, they look like this: 5J x 16 H2 ET=58, DIA=98, PCD=5 x 139, 7. In short, there is a complete confusion with the sizes of the “rollers”. Therefore, we will describe what each of what is written means:

  • 5J - this means that a 5-inch wide wheel can be “stretched” on this disk. And “J” indicates the presence of one shoulder on the disk. The parameter is not “critical” and may vary (depending on the tire model).
  • 16 is the diameter of the wheel rim, which is indicated in inches.
  • H2 - means that the disk design is equipped with two hunts. A hunt is a ring-shaped protrusion that is located along the edge of the disk. Serves for reliable fixation of tubeless type tires during the displacement of the impact force on the plane of the working surface of the tire relative to its center. Or simply put, to hold the rubber on the skating rink during maneuvering. Since many models of off-road tires have a tubeless design, the presence of two handles for an extreme disc is mandatory.
  • ET – this is the designation for disc offset and its size in millimeters. It is allowed to change the value from the standard downward, which does not exceed 10 mm. The smaller the offset value, the greater the distance between the wheels of your Niva.
  • DIA is the millimeter diameter of the hub hole.
  • PCD - indicates the number of holes for fasteners, and then the diameter of the circle in which they are located.

Also, do not forget that you can “shod” your Niva with rollers from Shevik. They will fit on the car without any additional lifting or cutting of the arches. For off-road fifteen-inch rollers on Niva, the acceptable parameters are:

  • 6. 0J x 15 ET=48 – for stamped models of off-road wheels.
  • 6. 5J x 15 ET=40 – for cast disk models.

It is better to select the disk diameter after choosing off-road tires. So, if you are planning to “shoe” your Niva in a cool way (in the Bogger Super Swamper), then this tire is available in 15 and 16 inch versions. While Forward Safari 500 is only 15.

Basics of selecting wheels for Niva off-road

For off-road use, special wheel models are selected with a width of about 60% of the tire width. So, for a 12.5-inch tire you need to take a 10-inch wide rim.

Such a selection is necessary in the case when air is bleed from the wheels during off-road driving. In this case, the width of the rubber changes on the sides (“in the cheeks”). Here it matters more than the size of the tread contact area width.

If you “pull” off-road tires onto narrower rims, the side bulge will be significantly reduced. And this will lead to increased “toothiness” of the tread on the side. But to overcome swamps, it is better to use discs that have larger widths.

To overcome off-road conditions on the Niva, you should choose stamped or forged models with the following parameters:

— With a departure from 0 and towards increasing. The optimal overhang values ​​are from 20 to 35 mm. If it is more, then it is possible that the rubber will rub against the wheel arch.

If you decide to “flatten” the tires and ride with virtually no pressure, then you need to acquire additional beadlocks. They will keep tires that are trying to slide off the rims at any pressure and at any turn. A cheaper fixing option is to glue the rubber with sealant along the edge to the disc.

The Russian SUV Niva is very popular among Russian car enthusiasts. All models of this machine are constantly exported abroad. Its positive qualities have long been appreciated by European countries.

The cars are equipped at the factory with a variety of wheels and rims. For each model, you can choose the right size depending on the operating conditions.

What is a disc bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Niva

The diameter of the wheel rim is far from a determining parameter for any car, including the Chevrolet Niva.

From the very beginning of production, since 2000, the car was equipped with wheels with a diameter of 16 inches and a 1.8 liter engine. 15-inch began to be installed on all 1.7-liter cars , and since 2007, 1.8-liter cars have also been equipped with them, depending on the configuration.

Alloy wheels with standard bolt pattern.

However, there are a few more sizes that should be taken into account when choosing:

  • overall width;
  • landing width;
  • overall diameter;
  • disc ejection;
  • center hole size;
  • size of mounting holes;
  • number of mounting holes.

The most important are the last four parameters, which affect not only the ability to install the disk, but also security.

Bolt pattern data

Each disk has its own designation. In addition to the mounting diameter for the rubber, you need to pay attention to the bolt pattern, and this parameter is designated as PCD, pitch circle diameter. It shows the number of mounting holes and the radius along which their centers are located.

Characteristics of alloy wheels for Chevrolet Niva

The wheel for the Chevrolet Niva weighs 29.7 kilograms. The disc itself reaches 11.4 kg. It turns out that the tire weighs 18.3 kilograms. The width of the wheel is 243-244 millimeters, and the height is 745-750 millimeters.

Important!

If, after purchasing the disk, it becomes clear that the centering rings do not match, you should not be upset, you just need to buy them in an additional required size.

For the Chevrolet Niva SUV, you need to buy wheels of such a size that the wheels do not touch the body, do not spoil the brake system, and their centering ring must coincide with the hub. In this case, you need to know the factory parameters of the machine in order to choose the right wheels.

All-season tires for Chevrolet Niva

When can you install all-season tires on your car? In two cases. First, your region should have mild winters without much rainfall. Secondly, if you do not have the opportunity to buy separately winter and summer tires.

Sometimes “mud” tires for Chevrolet Niva are also classified as all-season tires. But this is not entirely correct. Yes, such tires are adapted for all-season use, but they are primarily designed for harsh off-road conditions and will not be as effective on asphalt. The selection of such tires is a very individual matter, and they are most often produced by manufacturers specializing in such tires.

See the table for several popular all-season tires.

Summer tires for Chevrolet Niva

Which summer wheels on Chevrolet Niva do car owners choose? We have shown several options in the table below. But the range is very wide and everyone chooses according to their taste and budget. We also remind you that in summer it is important to monitor the level of tire pressure, which can change depending on the temperature. Excessive or insufficient pressure leads to accelerated tire wear. The choice of the desired pressure level is also influenced by the vehicle load. Don't forget to take this into account and keep an eye on your tire pressure to ensure your tires last longer.

Parameters of forged wheels on a Chevrolet Niva with zero offset and their choice

Forged wheels are the most expensive, but if they are hit, they do not break, but bend, so the driver can return the damaged disk to its previous appearance. As already mentioned, buying a Chevy is not very profitable due to the high cost of one set, but some drivers want to stand out in the crowd, so they spend additional money on car tuning. In addition, “forging” has another undeniable advantage - the weight of one disc rarely exceeds 5.5-6 kilograms.

It is enough to simply find wheels with a radius of 16 inches. Makes forged products. As for light alloy products, you can use KRAMZ brand products. She also makes “Bahran” wheels, which are forged. There is also the Magnum brand, which offers the same products.

The easiest size to choose is 15 inches in diameter; R15 wheels are the most popular on Chevy. If you need inexpensive products, then for just a few thousand rubles per disc you can buy a good sample from.

Almost no one installs R17 or larger wheels on the Chevrolet Niva, because this would require reworking the chassis. And if you need to increase the ground clearance for off-road use, then simply install high-profile tires.

The same bolt pattern does not mean that Volga wheels can be freely installed on SUVs.

The problem here is the different amount of overhang. For Niva it is 48 mm, and for Volga it is 0.

When installing wheels whose offset is very different from the nominal one, the load on the wheel bearings increases.

Therefore, on the Chevrolet Niva you need to install the wheels provided by the manufacturer. Otherwise, you will have to change the wheel bearings much more often.

I have an offset of 38 (40 standard), and on MT tires, no matter how you sneak off-road, you will be like a piece of G...dirty. Also, the most powerful argument is the wheel bearings, you will change them 2-3 times more often. Think... From everyday experience, not from the internet

I’ll take one with +15 reach) when the wider view is much better) take it and don’t even think about it) A friend travels in the summer with +2 reach, in winter +5 and everything is fine

It’s just that with a non-standard offset, if you drive along gullies, you will rub the arches at maximum suspension travel... is there any point?!

Yes, it’s because of these roads that I bought the tire. I'll think further.

the front hubs fly fast with such an offset

I traveled 50 thousand with the 22nd flight. hub relatives. the flight is normal and they look great

Guys, thanks for the answers.

Since 2009 I’ve been driving on UAZ forged wheels, VSMPO Mercury offset +10 width 7 inches R-16, the Chevy feels great and nothing happens from such an offset with factory bearings, it’s a complete fable

Why don’t you write about the increase in reactive force on the steering wheel?) Although with a hydraulic booster this is not critical, there is an additional load on the steering and on the bearings. Is it worth it?

I myself drive on rims with ET15 offset (KiK Angara), 29″ tires, 2″ lift, sometimes it catches the plastic trim of the rear arch, absolutely not critical, but still. but if there had been an ET20 departure there would have been no problems at all. although maybe there would be no problems with standard size tires on ET15. zero departure is absolutely evil in my opinion. z.y. knuckles with iveco soles and reinforced hubs

If the hubs are original then at least 30 is my opinion. If Iveco then perhaps a smaller one.

wheels then Volga to Niva

Is it worth putting wheels from the 29th Volga on the Niva, will it be beneficial?

It is desirable that the departure coincide. (if less, they won’t stand up. If more, dirt will fly onto the car and increased wear on the bearings)

Because You are not logged in. To come in.

Because you are not a trusted user (phone number is not verified). Enter and confirm your phone number. Read more about trusts.

Because The topic is archived.

I'll tell you more. The disc from a simple Niva is also compatible at the hub with the old Volgov type (P14), but the offset on them is different for all of them. I won’t tell you which one. but if you consider that those dashing guys who put Volga wheels on the Niva had wheels sticking out. then in your case it will be the other way around

Winter tires for Chevrolet Niva

Exploitation

To ensure that the service life of the wheels is as long as possible, the following rules should be observed:

  1. Tires must be properly attached to the hubs
  2. It is advisable to drive on a bad road at low speed
  3. Check discs for cracks and chips
  4. Balance every 10,000 kilometers

To summarize, we can conclude that the best option is to install alloy wheels with a 17 radius on the Niva. With them, excellent cross-country ability of an SUV will be achieved.

It is very important to follow traffic rules on the road. For safe driving on a Chevrolet Niva, it is important that the car has wheels that correspond to the parameters of this car and are provided by the manufacturer, otherwise you will have to constantly change the wheel bearings. Discs should be forged or cast, not too heavy. Wash your car more often, preferably at a car wash. It is important to install tires on your car according to the time of year. Maintain your vehicle and operate it correctly.

Conclusion

After analyzing all the possible options, we can conclude: for the field, the most suitable option is alloy wheels, 15 - 16 inches in size, with tires whose width will be approximately 60% larger.


At the same time, the weight of the disks should not be too large so that when it falls into a hole, it does not become deformed. Therefore, choose KRAMZ wheels and be confident in your car, both on the road and in off-road conditions.

Reading time: 7 minutes

Chevrolet Niva is a compact Russian SUV that AvtoVAZ, together with GM, began producing in 2002. From 2004 to 2008 was the best-selling car with increased off-road capability, which was explained by the car’s attractive appearance, permanent all-wheel drive, excellent maintainability and low price. The model is still popular, especially in rural areas.

Now on the roads of Russia you can find both quite old Chevys and completely new ones, because the Chevrolet Niva is still in production and is in demand. Naturally, sooner or later, all Chevy owners are faced with the need to replace wheel rims: some do this for practical reasons, and others for aesthetic reasons, because in most cases the car is equipped with nondescript “stamping”.

Wheels for Niva - from small to large

Absolutely every driver has at least once had the thought that it’s time to get bigger wheels. Because the stock Nyvka is, of course, good, but as they say - more wheels - more possibilities. Therefore, let’s figure out what a driver will have to face in order to install tires of a larger diameter and, in general, whether it’s worth doing. Here we will try to present everything as simply and clearly as possible, because looking for answers on forums is long and painful for many)) Because many people are absolutely not happy with driving the Vli-5))

Dimensions of standard wheels

A peculiarity of domestic car models, including the Chevrolet Niva, is the lack of individual wheels for a specific year of manufacture of the car.

Common wheel sizes for Niva Chevrolet:

  • rim width 8 inches;
  • rim diameter 15 inches;
  • offset ET40 – distance between the plane of fastening and symmetry.

Failure to comply with these parameters may result in:

  • rapid wear of mechanical parts and components of the vehicle chassis;
  • Excessive load on the wheel arches of a car and their breakdown, for example, the use of wheels with a dimension greater than R16 and a high rubber profile, will negatively affect the condition of the fender liner. Its surface will be erased. On the Internet you can see a large number of photos devoted to this topic.

Advice. Before purchasing a new wheel, it is better to consult an experienced specialist.

Another important parameter is the bolt pattern or drilling of the disk. It is designated by the Latin letters PCD. For Niva Chevrolet it is installed by the manufacturer with dimensions 5x139.7. The number 5 means that the disk is fixed to the hub with five bolts, which are located on a circle, and the distance between adjacent fastening bolts corresponds to 139.7 mm.

The center hole (DIA) of the rim is 98.5mm. Therefore, when choosing a wheel, you need to pay special attention to this parameter, since a discrepancy from the standard even by 1 mm will certainly affect the quality of the disk fastening to the hub. After some time, due to a loose fit, the hub will simply wear off.

And the last no less important parameter is the ET offset, which should not exceed a value of 40. Otherwise, this will lead to failure of the internal bearing. The most acceptable offset for the Niva Chevrolet is ET35.

Maximum and minimum possible parameters of non-standard disks

Some car owners strive to install beautiful wheels of a larger size on their car than those supplied by the manufacturer. The Nyva Chevrolet body allows this to be done thanks to the design of the car's wheel arches. Wheel sizes that do not require modifications to the body are considered 215/75 with a minimum offset of 35.

If the driver has installed a tire with a profile over 215mm, then the arches will have to be trimmed a little, and the ET offset should exceed 58mm. The most optimal reach size is 40-45. Therefore, when planning the installation of new wheels and tires, you need to carefully study this issue. To do this, special websites are offered to help the car enthusiast, where on videos and photos you can see in detail the entire procedure from choosing a wheel to replacing it.

Properly selected wheels and tires are the key to stable vehicle performance on the road.
