Razboltovka.ruDirectory of factory parameters of wheels and tire sizes

Despite the fact that this information is taken from the websites of auto manufacturers, our catalog is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed sizes with your car.

What's the fine?

Any violations of non-compliance with technical requirements with the operating conditions of the vehicle are subject to Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 1 of which provides for penalties for general violations from the List of Traffic Rules Faults.

The fine for wheels and tires larger than required for a given car model is 500 rubles.

But paragraph 51 of the Administrative Regulations of Order No. 1001 on registration also states that if changes are made to the design of the car, this may be grounds for termination of registration. This means that, in addition to a fine, the registration of such a car may be terminated with the confiscation of STS and license plates.

Some motorists prefer to transform their car by changing the size of the rims. However, the legislation valid for 2022 clearly prohibits this kind of tuning. Although drivers often violate traffic regulations. What will actually happen if you put larger rims on your car?

Which summer tires to choose for this domestic car

A wide range of summer tires are suitable for Lada Priora. The size must be selected based on the recommendations of the car manufacturers. Information on the characteristics of suitable tires can be found in the technical documentation.

As for summer products, parameters 195, 185 or 175 indicate the corresponding tire width, which is measured in millimeters. Next comes the profile height indicator, which is indicated as a percentage relative to the width. The last one is usually the tire diameter, it can be R15, R16 and others.

What is the punishment?

All changes to the vehicle design that are considered prohibited are included in the official List of Faults. Wheel sizes that do not match the model are also shown in this list in paragraph 5.4.

The penalty for driving with such defects is established by Art. 12.5, namely its first part. It provides for 2 penalties: a written warning or a fine of 500 rubles. If the violation is completely for the first time, then there is a chance that the driver will only receive a warning. But the fine is a rather mild form of punishment: you can get a 50% discount on it if you pay within 20 days. A much greater danger awaits violators, which they may not even be aware of. The fact is that based on changes to the design of the vehicle, the inspector can cancel the registration of the vehicle with the traffic police. After this, driving such a car on public roads will be prohibited.

Selection of tires and wheels for the Lada Priora car

Using the automatic selection of tires and wheels for the Lada Priora, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of automakers. After all, they have a huge impact on a significant part of the vehicle’s operational properties, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, one cannot fail to note the importance of tires and rims as active safety elements. That is why the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which presupposes the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, most car owners prefer not to go into such technical nuances. A fully automatic selection system in this case is perhaps the only way to avoid the wrong choice when purchasing tires and rims. And it is very wide, which is due to the diversity of the range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

If you really want to

You can install larger disks if you have a great desire and significant savings. The driver, for a fee, can legalize changes made to the design by contacting the State Traffic Inspectorate. This process takes a lot of time, and the car owner will have to deal with large amounts of documentation.

To legalize changes, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Obtain official permission from the State Traffic Inspectorate to carry out activities to change the characteristics of the car. There are no problems at this step, since this document is usually issued to everyone at the MREO department of the traffic police.
  2. Pass the initial technical examination. As a result, the driver will become familiar with the possibility of installing larger rims and tires. You can find out more about organizations carrying out such activities on the official website of the Department of Technical Regulation. If the possibility of a design change is confirmed, the driver will receive an appropriate conclusion and can proceed to the next step.
  3. With the result obtained, contact the State Traffic Inspectorate again and submit an application requesting changes. The car owner must additionally provide an STS, a vehicle passport and his citizen’s passport.
  4. Select and install new larger wheels. At this stage, it is important to make sure that the selected tire center has a genuine certificate for carrying out such activities.
  5. Receive a declaration from the tire shop about the work performed. It should be noted that this is a separate document that should not be confused with the act of work performed.
  6. Pass a secondary technical examination to confirm the compliance of the amendments made with the permitted ones, which were agreed upon during the primary examination. Advice: it is better to take the first and second examination in one place - it is much easier.
  7. Pass a technical inspection of the vehicle at an accredited organization.
  8. Submit the vehicle for inspection to the traffic police and register the changes.

If all these points seem too complicated, the car owner can use the services of companies that will take on all the responsibilities for officially making changes to the design. Such support costs a lot of money, but saves a lot of time.

Installing large rims is a very common type of tuning. In addition to external changes, such an upgrade also changes the technical characteristics of the car: both positively and negatively. You can argue about the pros and cons of large wheels for a long time, but there is another, no less important problem - installing new wheels is not always legal. From this article you will learn in what cases it is impossible to change the size of wheels, what is the punishment for violation, and is it possible to legalize changes?

Tire sizes for Lada Priora

The presented domestic car is equipped with wheels and tires with permitted diameters from 13 to 15 inches. These can be either cast or stamped discs.

Factory tire parameters:

  • 175/70 R13 82T;
  • 175/65 R14 82Н;
  • 185/60 R14 82Н;
  • 185/65 R14 86H;
  • 185/55 R15 82H.

For tuning, it is possible to install tires with the following sizes:

  • 195/55 R15;
  • 195/50 R16;
  • 205/45 R17.

Disc sizes and parameters:

  • wheel bolt pattern - 4×98;
  • rim width - 5.5, 6.0j, inches;
  • rim offset - ET 37 or 35 millimeters;
  • diameter of the centering hole - CO 58.6, millimeters.

The most optimal wheel size for the Lada Priora is considered to be 14 or 15 inches.

It is in these dimensions that the car will correspond to all factory settings and characteristics, both in terms of control and dynamics. The wheels of the presented sizes provide optimal traction and stability. In addition, the comfort and smoothness of the ride will also be normal. The car will be able to overcome small road defects and obstacles without putting much strain on the backs of passengers. With these wheel sizes there will not be much shaking. Safe driving is ensured both in the city and on country roads.

To correctly select wheels by size for a Priora car, regardless of the year of manufacture and engine size, you need to know what the main differences in characteristics are for different sizes.

Note! When installing wheels of other sizes, you need to check whether this action is permissible. The fact is that Lada cars have small wheel arches, which determine the possible size of tires and wheels for installation. It is necessary to comply with the dimensions for the offset and bolt pattern of the rims, and as for the width and diameter of the tires, the choice of available sizes consists of many options.

Is it possible to install larger wheels according to the 2022 traffic regulations?

No. But only if we are talking about the size of the wheels and tires on them that are larger than those provided for by the design of the car - that is, by the manufacturer. A direct ban on this is established by clause 5.4 of the List of faults (Appendix to the Traffic Regulations) under which driving a car is prohibited:

5.4. The tires are not the correct size or load capacity for the vehicle model.

Since direct driving is prohibited, it is possible to install wheels of a larger radius. But it’s no longer possible to operate such a car on public roads.

As can be seen from the Rules, we are talking specifically about tires. But the tire size is determined by their radius. But it is physically impossible to install larger wheels and leave stock tires.

In addition, paragraph 5.4 implies that your specific model is equipped with certain tire sizes. If you, for example, have a basic Kia Rio with wheels with a radius of R15, then you can still install wheels up to a radius of 16, because certain more expensive models are equipped with this particular radius. But higher is already punishable.

Second generation Lada Priora

At the end of 2022, the second generation of Lada Priora was released. The updates affected not only the interior, power plants, but also the exterior. The versions remain the same “Standard”, “Norma”, “Lux”, but with minor changes.

It is equally important to know the following characteristics:

  • PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the center of the mounting holes: 97 mm;
  • Drilling: number of holes 4;
  • Fastener type: M12 – stud diameter;
  • Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
  • Center hole diameter: 59 mm;
  • Pressure (front / rear): 1.9 / 2.0 bar.

PCD is calculated by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite holes. We measure with a ruler; it is not necessary to dismantle the wheel.

  • For disks with five bolts, multiply the obtained result by a factor of 1.06;
  • For four bolt construction, PCD = actual distance.

The offset of the rim is designated ET, the unit of measurement is millimeters. This is the distance between the point of contact between the disc and the hub and the middle of the rim width.

The designation is different in different countries. For example, in France it is called DEPORT, in Asia OFFSET.

The offset is positive if the plane does not extend beyond the point of contact, otherwise the offset is negative.

The further the rim is from the body, the more the offset tends to zero.

  • D is the diameter of the central hole, measured in millimeters.
  • J, H and subsequent alphabetical symbols indicate the markings of the humps on the rim flange. Symmetrical, asymmetrical and combined.

In simple terms, a “hump” is a protrusion on the rim for a tubeless tire. When moving, the “rails” hold the tire beads, preventing depressurization.

Numerical characters indicate the release date, month, year.

  • TUV is an abbreviation for the regulatory authority for compliance with quality standards.

Maximum wheel load (MAX LOAD). The unit of measurement depends on the country of manufacture of the rubber or rim: USA, Europe, Asia.

What tire sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The type of tire installed directly at the factory differed depending on the year of manufacture, vehicle modification, and body type. The load index also differed. Therefore, before you start replacing, you should carefully familiarize yourself with all the intricacies of choosing tires. Using rubber similar to the standard one allows you to avoid many difficulties.

One of the first modifications of Lada Priora was equipped with an 80 hp engine. An injection-type gasoline engine was installed. The standard tires are 185 mm wide. At the same time, the profile height is only 65 mm. The wheel diameter is 14 inches. Speed ​​index - T. Wheels of this type were installed at the factory.

For cars with an 86 hp engine. The manufacturer practiced installing 3 different types of wheels:

  • 175/65 mm;
  • 185/60 mm;
  • 185/65 mm.

Moreover, all modifications had wheels with a diameter of 14 inches. Cars with a power of 97 hp equipped with wheels 185 mm wide with a profile height of 65 mm. In recent years, before the production of this model was stopped, the most purchased modification was a car equipped with a 105 hp engine. The following types of wheels were installed at the factory:

  • 175/65 mm;
  • 185/60 mm;
  • 185/65 mm.

The standard wheel size is 14 inches. Standard marking is 5.5J×14.

Factory wheels on a Priora

When production started in 2007, the car was offered with only one wheel option. In the factory configuration, the tire size marked 185/65R14 86H was used, and the wheel rim on the Priora had parameters of 5.5Jx14 4/98 ET35 d58.5. This decision was dictated by the need to save money and reduce the cost of the car. And judging by data from the official website, this continued until 2022.

And only from 2022 to 2022, five options for wheel parameters for Priora appeared in the operating manuals. Therefore, you can see in the table what wheel size the Priora had in the last years of production of this model.

What wheels are installed on the Priora from the factory? Wheel rims were either stamped steel of our own production (most often from the Tolyatti Steel Wheels Plant (T3SK)), or cast wheels produced by K&K. The most popular model of alloy wheels is “Attica”. AvtoVAZ's factory tires are supplied by Nizhnekamskshina and Sibur-Kordiant.

It’s also worth stopping at thirteen-inch wheels. They were installed only on cars with eight-valve engines, and cars with this configuration were equipped with smaller brake calipers. That is, you cannot use 13-inch wheels for installation on cars that are factory equipped with fourteen-inch and fifteen-inch wheels.

However, replacing wheels with a smaller radius on a Priora is a rare case. And judging by unofficial online surveys, thirteen-inch wheels cost less than 1% of cars of this model in all of Russia. Quite the contrary - car owners want to increase the diameter of the wheels on their Priora. Below we will discuss how this can be done so that such tuning does not affect handling.

What non-standard sizes can be supplied?

Installation of disks of other sizes is allowed. It is important to note that before use, you should ensure that there are no compatibility issues. Using wheels of non-standard sizes can cause the following problems:

  • breakage of the plastic fender liner;
  • damage to mudguards;
  • premature wear of the chassis.

Often an installed wheel of a larger diameter touches the inside of the fender liner. Which leads not only to damage to the plastic under the car arches. But also quick wear of the tread. It is advisable to avoid such situations.

A good solution is to “try on” a similar wheel before purchasing non-standard tires. It should not overlap the car body even in extreme steering positions. Otherwise, the installation must be abandoned.

In some cases, after modification, it is possible to install wheels with a diameter of 15 and even 16 inches. However, this can only be done after finalizing the design of the car. The wheel arches will need to be rolled in with a special roller - after which they can be used without any problems, there is a danger of damaging the body.

The car manufacturer suggests the possibility of using wheels of non-standard overall dimensions. It is allowed to install wheels with the following dimensions:

  • 195/60 R14;
  • 185/55 R15;
  • 195/55 R15;
  • 195/50 R16.

All tires with the diameters listed above can be mounted without any concerns. Load index – 86. Speed ​​index – T. The use of 6.5J disks is mandatory. The diameter can be used 14, 15, 16. The bolt pattern on all the cars listed above is completely identical - 4x98.

If you really want to

​Then it’s possible. But the desire must be strong enough, because it can be expensive. The fact is that according to the above paragraph of the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Regulations, tires can be brought into compliance with the permissible size. This is done by officially making changes to the design of the vehicle with subsequent registration of such changes with the traffic police.

The procedure is very document-intensive and will require considerable financial investment. It consists of the following stages.

  1. The first step is to obtain permission from the traffic police for the possibility of making changes such as installing wheels larger than those provided for by the design of the car. This is a pure formality and, as a rule, it is given to everyone. To do this, you need to contact any branch of the MREO traffic police (list on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate).
  2. Next, we undergo a preliminary technical examination to determine the possibility of installing large wheels and tires of the sizes you specified. List of authorized organizations on the website of the Department of Technical Regulation.
  3. If the examination determines that such changes are possible, it will issue an appropriate conclusion. With it, you need to contact the traffic police again and submit an application for changes with documents for the car: registration certificate, PTS and your passport (the owner).
  4. Then directly install the rims and wheels of the selected radius. An important point: tire fitting services must be provided by an organization certified for this type of work and capable of issuing a declaration of work performed (not to be confused with a certificate of work performed).
  5. And again we undergo a technical examination (preferably in the same organization - it will be easier for you) to ensure that the changes made comply with those permitted in accordance with paragraph 2 above.
  6. Next, we select an accredited organization and undergo a vehicle inspection.
  7. And at the last stage, we register the changes with the State Traffic Inspectorate, for which we provide the car for inspection.

In 2022, there are a large number of companies that will fully undertake support for making changes to the design of the car. But it will cost other money. We will deliberately not give the average cost, since it is very different and is constantly growing.

What is the tire pressure

The consequences of too high or too low tire pressure are serious - it is necessary to operate the car with well-inflated tires. Regardless of the load, rubber used and diameter, the nominal pressure is considered to be 0.2 MPa. The width of the rim (5J, 5 ½, 6J) does not matter.

Using tire pressures above the minimum has the following consequences:

  • quick grinding of the central part of the tire;
  • poor handling;
  • There is a high risk of the wheel exploding.

Moreover, if a tire bursts while you are not driving, this can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences. For example, if the front wheel on the driver's side fails, the car may drift into the oncoming lane. Which will lead to a serious accident. Tire pressure should be checked before each trip. It is best to use a special device for this - a pressure gauge. It can be mechanical or electronic.

Many owners specially inflate tires to 1.7-1.8 atm. The main reason is greater ride comfort - thanks to the low pressure, shocks to the suspension are practically not transmitted to the passenger compartment and to the steering wheel. However, low tire pressure causes:

  • rapid wear of the tread - it wears down at the edges an order of magnitude faster;
  • increased fuel consumption - for every 100 km of travel, gasoline is consumed by 5-15% more.

Operating a vehicle with half-flat tires is dangerous. It is advisable to avoid such practices.

Why is it forbidden to change the radius of the wheels?

Any prohibition in legislation must be logically justified, and the ban on making changes to the design of a vehicle is, of course, no exception. Excessively large disks should not be installed for 2 reasons:

  1. The main reason is the reduction in traffic safety. If the design of the car does not provide for r18 wheels, then they can physically interfere with the operation of any other systems in the car.
  2. In addition, the wheel size changes the technical parameters of the car. Heavier wheels wear out the suspension and bearings faster and increase fuel consumption. If the manufacturer decided to install wheels of a certain radius, then this size showed optimal performance during vehicle tests. But the most dangerous thing is that changing the wheel size can lead to errors on the speedometer.

Review of the best summer and winter tires

For Lada Priora, stores offer a large selection of different tire models. Since models marked R14, R15, R16 are used on most modern cars. It won’t be difficult to choose suitable wheels for winter and summer – separately.

A good solution for summer travel will be the Toyo Proxes CF2. The cost of one tire of this model is no more than 2,200 rubles. Allows you to easily take sharp turns and provides excellent maneuverability.

An equally profitable purchase is BFGoodrich g‑Grip. Despite the low cost (only 2,180 rubles), it performs well on the highway and in the city. The presence of deep slats eliminates aquaplaning.

Conti Premium Contact 5 is the fifth generation of the Continental series. The cost of one such tire is approximately 2,700 rubles. The main advantage of this modification is the ability to travel at speeds of more than 190 km/h and a short braking distance even on wet asphalt.

Nokian Hakka Green is a good option; it will cost the buyer only 2,400 rubles. The tires of this model are perfectly balanced and have a rigid central rib. It provides good maneuverability.

You need to be especially careful when choosing winter tires. The budget solution will be NEXEN 175/65R14 WG ICE PLUS. There are no thorns on it. However, the deep tread will allow you to feel confident on any, even the most difficult road.

SAVA 175/65R14 ESKIMO S3 also do not have studs. However, deep tracks in the tread allow for excellent water drainage from the contact patch. This eliminates hydroplaning. Rigid sides make the car well controlled on any road.

GISLAVED 175/65R14 NORD FROST is equipped with a large number of studs - which significantly simplifies the procedure for moving on icy roads. Even bare ice will not be a hindrance. Steel spikes perfectly hold the car on the road surface.

PIRELLI 175/65R14 WINTER FORMULA is a balanced tire designed for a maximum speed of 190 km/h and a load of up to 475 kg. The presence of studs evenly distributed over the surface allows you not to worry about braking.

GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-2 will cost relatively inexpensively - just over 3,500 rubles. Weather Reactive technology was used in production. Thanks to it, the wheels can easily adapt to any, even the most difficult conditions.

It is important to use suitable tires - this will make the car easier to drive and prevent an accident. Installation of non-standard wheels is allowed. However, in some cases, modifications are required.

How to avoid a fine or termination of registration?

If you still really want to install disks larger than those allowed, then you can try to register these changes with the traffic police. In this case, the PTS and STS will be marked with changes made, and there will no longer be grounds for a fine. However, the increased attention of traffic police officers to such cars will not stop. In addition, the process of registering changes can be time-consuming and expensive.

Here's how it goes:

  1. The first step is to undergo a preliminary examination and obtain a conclusion on the possibility of making changes to the design of the vehicle. It is also necessary to obtain permission from the MREO department of the traffic police.
  2. With the results of the examination and permission from the traffic police, you need to submit an application for amendments - again to the traffic police. Also at this stage you will need documents for the car (STS and PTS) and the owner’s passport.
  3. At this point, you can finally install new disks. However, this must be done in a certified service station, which can issue a declaration of work performed.
  4. After making changes, you will have to undergo 3 more inspections: technical examination (preferably in the same organization where the preliminary examination was carried out), technical inspection, inspection at the traffic police.
  5. The result of this entire chain of actions will be the inclusion of a note about changes in the PTS and the receipt of a new STS.

Drivers who find this whole process too complicated can contact firms that specialize in resolving legal issues with the traffic police. You will have to pay a lot more for this, but in this case the participation of the vehicle owner in registration is minimized.

What kind of tires can still be put on the car after modifications?

Many Lada owners do not limit themselves to the list of products approved by the car plant, but install rollers of non-standard sizes.

Wheels with tires measuring 15, 16 inches, even R17 on Priora, fit without modifications with a tire width of up to 215 mm. Naturally, low-profile tires are used. For 17-inch wheels – profile 40-45%. For example, 205/40 R17, 195/45 R17. When installing such “rollers” you will need to remove the fender liners. It is difficult to find a product of this size with a drill and mounting hole standard for Priora. It is necessary to use spacers, centering rings, and eccentric bolts.

When installing non-standard rollers, it is necessary to pay attention to the disc overhang. With some parameter values, the wheel will not fit into the wheel arch, so you will have to trim the latter or make other changes.

Tires play an important role in safety, comfort of movement, and ease of driving. Therefore, you need to carefully select these consumables and monitor its condition.

What's the fine?

For this offense, liability will arise primarily for violation of technical requirements. The punishment is provided for in part one of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The violator will be subject to a financial penalty in the amount of 500 rubles.

A motorist who violates the requirements also risks losing their vehicle registration. This will also lead to the seizure of the vehicle’s license plate number. Such enforcement measures are applied on the basis of paragraph 51 of the Administrative Regulations of Order No. 1001. Moreover, you will also have to pay a fine - this obligation does not disappear even if you lose registration.

What tire and wheel sizes are recommended in KOLOBOX for the Lada Priora?

The size of tires and wheels suitable for a particular car depends on the year of its manufacture and modification.

Lada Priora, launched on the market since 2007, is currently presented in a single modification.

Judging by the table, the following tire parameters are recommended for this car: diameter 15 or 16 inches, width from 175 to 195 mm, profile (width to height ratio) from 50 to 70%.

Other variations of these sizes, up or down, are possible, but taking into account all the negative consequences associated with such tuning.

More factory ones - how's that?

There are certain recommended parameters that car owners must adhere to. All of the options offered by the manufacturer have passed special tests. This means that it is the recommended wheels that will allow the car to improve its performance with minimal negative consequences.

As an example, we can look at a specific situation. Let's assume that a car enthusiast purchased a vehicle with 15-inch wheels. Moreover, the same car model with a different configuration has parameters of 17 inches. Consequently, a motorist can safely install wheels with any of the proposed indicators on his vehicle.

However, it is important before installing wheels of a different configuration to carefully study all the recommendations in the documents for your own vehicle. The papers must contain information about which tires and wheels cannot be installed. “Do not” means that conversion to a non-recommended size will result in degraded performance.

As a conclusion, we can say that the wheels are “bigger”: the height of the tire depends on the radius of the part. It is impossible to combine wheels larger than the recommended size with regular tires.

The specified paragraph of the traffic rules (5.4) provides for the configuration of the car model available to the motorist. The owner of a basic Kia Rio with 15-inch tires can still put 16-inch wheels on the car. This is allowed because some car models have 16-inch radii. Exceeding this limit will already entail administrative consequences.

What tires are suitable for a Lada Priora car in the winter?

The winter tires supplied with this car have a special rubber composition that retains its softness and elasticity at different temperatures. The sipes in the tread pattern of these tires have a special structure that removes excess moisture, dirt or snow from the surface of the rubber. Such wheels maintain the desired level of vehicle controllability in the winter season.

However, factory tires also have their disadvantages: insufficiently strong fastening of the studs contributes to their rapid loss, and the noise emanating from the wheels while driving reduces driving comfort.

The table shows possible options for winter tire sets for the Lada Priora.

Winter tires for Lada Priora

Maxxis NP3 Arctic Trekker 89T Cordiant Snow Cross (PW-2) 89T Laufenn iFIT ICE (LW71) 89T (XL) BFGoodrich G-Force Stud 89Q (XL) Nitto Therma Spike 85T

When choosing winter tires for a vehicle, you need to pay more attention to its quality characteristics than to its external ones. Low-profile high-speed tires, as a way to make the car more aggressive, are more appropriate in the warm season.

Recommendations for storing and caring for discs

  • During a routine technical inspection, check the geometry and balancing of the wheel on a special diagnostic stand. If deviations are detected, restore the integrity of the structure;
  • If cracks or dents form on the rim, immediately contact a service station for preventive maintenance;
  • Avoid hitting road potholes at high and medium speeds. Regardless of the material or workmanship, the disk will be deformed and the seal will be compromised;
  • Monitor the tire pressure; it should not be lower/higher than recommended by the manufacturer. If it deviates, pump it up;
  • Switch to summer/winter mode in a timely manner. This means that in summer the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, and in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are specified in the vehicle operating instructions;
  • Tighten the rim nuts with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - an emergency situation, unscrewing the wheel.

What tires are suitable for the Lada Priora in the summer?

The choice of summer tires for each car should be accompanied by a determination of driving style.

Drivers who prefer a relaxed driving style, maintaining an average speed level on city roads, can choose from budget high-profile models. They will provide the car owner and his passengers with the necessary level of safety and comfort while driving.

Fans of aggressive driving who choose low-profile tires are faced with high noise levels while driving. Every unevenness in the road surface is transmitted to the suspension, which reduces its wear resistance.

You can pay attention to the following brands of car tires: Maxxis, Kama, Cordiant, Goodyear.

List of wheel manufacturers for Priora and their price

Stampings and castings with a diameter of 14 inches are produced by many domestic and foreign companies. Among the stamp manufacturers, the following stand out:

  • KFZ is an Austrian company that supplies wheels to many auto manufacturers. Model 5935 is suitable for Priora. Cost – 1300-1800 rubles.
  • Mefro is a German company that produces high-quality, affordable parts. This company produces original spare parts for Lada, article number 21700-3101015, price 900–1100 rubles.

  • Trebl is a Chinese brand. The brand's assortment includes a wheel with article number 53B35B for the Lada Priora, their price is approximately 950 rubles. Casting is represented by a greater variety than stamping. Unfortunately, many low-quality Chinese-made models are sold that are not durable enough. The production of cast elements is a technologically complex process, so choose casting from reliable companies.

Good light alloy wheels are produced by Russian manufacturers. K&K is a supplier of Lada conveyors. Products from the Krasnoyarsk plant are durable and of high quality.

The KiK line is offered as original Lada Priora accessories:

  1. Torus.

What wheels are recommended for the Lada Priora?

Recommended wheel sizes for Lada Priora cars: 15 and 16 inches. These are the most comfortable driving options. It is also possible to install larger sizes, for example, 16 inches or more, but they require the purchase of low-profile tires.

The bolt pattern, as the main indicator that should be followed when choosing rims, on the Lada has the following form: 4 holes for fastenings located on a circle with a diameter of 98 mm.

Wheel bolt pattern on Priora

First, let’s talk about the bolt pattern parameters on Priora wheels. It is always 4x98, that is, all wheel rims are mounted with 4 bolts and the distance between them is 98 mm. The size of the central hole of the wheel rim is always 58.5 mm.

Disc with bolt pattern 4x98

Let us remind you that this parameter is important to take into account when selecting alternative wheels for your car - you simply cannot install wheels with a different bolt pattern, so always study the markings on the disk.

The disc mounts on the Priora are marked M12x1.25, where 12 is the diameter of the stud in mm, and 1.25 is the thread size. But if you install non-standard size wheels, you will have to buy extended mounts.

We also add that the 4x98 bolt pattern is traditional for almost all AvtoVAZ models. Including for the VAZ-2110, which was the predecessor of the Priora. Although the wheels from Vesta will not fit on the Priora, when switching to the new model, AvtoVAZ decided to install wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern.

About tires on Lada Priora cars of 14 and 15 diameters

The sizes 14 and 15 inches are rightfully the most common for installation on the Lada Priora. The manufacturer clearly states the permissible tire sizes. This:

  • 175/65 R14 82Н;
  • 185/60 R14 82Н;
  • 185/65 R14 86H;
  • 185/55 R15 82H.

Important! In this case, only tire sizes recommended by the factory are presented.

In addition, wheels with the following dimensions are also suitable:

  • 175/70 R13 82T;
  • 175/65 R14 82Н;
  • 185/60 R14 82Н;
  • 185/65 R14 86H;
  • 185/55 R15 82H.

The choice of size for a personal vehicle depends only on the preferences of the car owner. Different tires may provide different characteristics; to obtain the optimal one, you must take into account all the manufacturer's recommendations. For tuning, Priora can even be equipped with wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. They do not have a high level of smoothness, but they noticeably decorate the car.

What wheels are installed on the Priora as an alternative?

Priora on 17-inch wheels

The huge list of options on the Priora can be explained by the fact that even standard wheels have a height of 575 mm (175/70 R13) to 596 mm (185/65 R14). It is these dimensions that you should focus on when choosing alternatives, so that the new wheels fit into the wheel arches and do not rub against the fender liners. And this also allows you to install even 17-inch wheels with 205/40 R17 tires on the Priora, which have a total height of 596 mm. Moreover, without changing the design of the car, that is, cutting the bumper or arches.

In the case of an overhang, a calculator will help you decide which wheels can be installed on the Priora. The smaller the offset, the more the wheels stick out. But you can compensate for this with the width of the rim. Or if you want to install wider wheels, then it is better not to change the offset. Or get wheels with a longer offset so they sit deeper. Also focus on how many millimeters you still have left in the wheel arches.

We have compiled the list of acceptable wheel sizes for Priora into one table.

17205/40 R176.5Jx17, offset ET32-38
195/40 R177Jx17, offset ET32-38

When choosing new tires and wheels, remember the following. Increasing the diameter and width of the rim plus increasing the width of the tire improves the appearance as well as the handling of the vehicle. But at the same time, comfort on rough roads will deteriorate and fuel consumption will increase!

As for brands, as a replacement for discs, car owners prefer products from the “original” manufacturer K&K, as well as popular companies SLIK and VSMPO. Let's talk about tires separately.

Factory tires - article number and price

The Lada Priora was mainly equipped with 14-inch wheels, occasionally 13, 15 inches. R16 tires have never been installed on Lada Priora. Over the years, the car on the assembly line was equipped with wheels and tires from different manufacturers, the article number and price also varied, for example:

  • Belshina 555.
  • Kama Euro 224.
  • Kama Euro 236.
  • Kama 217.
  • Amtel Barguzin-2 K-187.
  • Amtel Barguzin-4.

These are all-season tires of the lower price segment, hard, therefore, not comfortable, high grip, but they last a long time and are resistant to mechanical damage. Of course, all-season use of wheels is conditional; in subzero temperatures and icy conditions, winter wheels must be used. There is no special article number for wheel tires in the Lada spare parts catalog, because the spare part is universal and fits many cars, not just Lada.

Beading, rubber beading

All modern cars are operated with tubeless wheels. To ensure the tightness of the bead, the tire fits tightly to the rim of the disk, so it is difficult to disassemble such a wheel without a tool, especially when it is necessary to preserve the rubber being removed. High-quality independent installation of tubeless tires is also difficult.

If there are no other options to restore integrity, you can try to dismantle it, separating the tire from the rim:

Using a jack - its foot is installed on the tire near the rim, the upper part rests against the loop of the cable passed under the wheel, into the car, or another stationary, heavy object. When the jack handle is rotated, its lower part, lowering, will remove the tire from the rim. Having run over the edge of a wheel with a car. Impact method - using a metal corner and a sledgehammer. After the tire has been pressed off the rim on both sides, it must be removed with mounting blades. If you install it yourself, it is unlikely that you will be able to create a tight seal on a tubeless wheel; you should install a tube. Mounting blades are used for edging. You need to put the edge of the tire on the disk, install the tube inside, and fill the second bead.
