Wheel bolt pattern on UAZ

Created on the basis of an army model, the domestic one is considered a leader, in the country and not only, in off-road qualities.
Popular among fans of off-road adventures and motorsports athletes who participate in all kinds of races. To improve off-road properties, special tires and wheels are often used, which allow you to overcome more difficult obstacles. However, it is worth remembering that improving any vehicle is a very important and responsible procedure that should only be carried out by specialists in designated areas. In the case of the UAZ model, all off-road modifications begin with replacing the rims and tires, since most of the improvements are aimed at improving off-road performance.

If the goal is only to improve the quality of appearance, then simply installing larger wheels may be enough. Their characteristics such as diameter, shape and color can radically change their appearance. This is enough for most car owners. Well-chosen and high-quality wheels can perfectly decorate a car.

Important!

Tires for the model are initially used with a very high profile height. This is done to improve the ride quality on bad roads.

However, increasing the attractiveness of an SUV such as the UAZ 469 cannot be considered as important a factor as the reliability and quality of this improvement. All particularly important parameters and dimensions for tires and wheels must be strictly observed. Changing them in a certain direction can lead to breakdowns.

As for the parameters of the disks, the drilling or bolt pattern of the UAZ disks must correspond to those specified by the manufacturer in official documents. It is important that, with the presented parameters, this SUV underwent certification and numerous tests, thanks to which special calculations were carried out for strength and durability. Wheels and tires are designed by the manufacturer to work exactly with the original size, with the exact diameter of the central hole and drilling parameter. Failure to comply with these requirements does not guarantee safe operation of the vehicle.

Note!

The vehicle's increased ground clearance allows it to transport heavy loads even in the absence of road surfaces.

Disc car tuning: is it worth it?

Some UAZ Patriot owners may feel that the car does not have high enough ground clearance. The most popular methods of increasing ground clearance on domestic SUVs are installing special spacers and switching to wheels and tires of larger diameter. In order to properly upgrade the UAZ Patriot and avoid the possibility of losing control of the vehicle, you need to remember that:

The safe width of rims with tires on a car reaches 33 inches;
The optimal disc offset option for off-road tires is from 12 to -25 mm.

If this is not enough, the car body can be raised. The lifting done will help increase the ground clearance, which will allow the installation of rollers with diameters up to 35 inches and an offset of up to -42 mm.

The bolt pattern of wheels on a UAZ, this legendary SUV, like any other model of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant brand, is an important parameter when selecting and installing new wheels. Using the data presented in the parameter, you can find out how the wheel fits into the chassis elements. Such a well-known and popular domestic SUV is capable of overcoming the most difficult obstacles and can give a head start to its famous foreign counterparts. The dimensions and characteristics of the car allow it to be used in completely different conditions. In addition, the wheel arches of the car are quite large in size, so off-road or tuning enthusiasts can install very large wheels.

The manufacturer allows the installation of products in only two wheel sizes - R15 and R16. Only with wheels of this size will the car meet all the characteristics and qualities inherent in it. Other sizes are also suitable for use, but their use may be harmful to components and assemblies. To get ideal off-road performance, you need to be very careful in the selection of tires and wheels, and also clearly know the wheel bolt pattern for the UAZ.

Features of wheels for UAZ Patriot

The special features of the discs include offset. For UAZ Patriot it should be no more than 20, otherwise there will be problems with installation, and when driving, the discs can create certain problems. Therefore, it is important to install wheels on the UAZ Patriot with the correct offset. There is a wide variety of disc options on the market, but it is better to select and install discs with values closer to the original ones, so as not to make additional interventions in the car body. The UAZ Patriot is the successor to the Loaf and UAZ Hunter, but the wheels on it have their own specific feature.

UAZ Patriot wheel bolt pattern

The UAZ Patriot from the factory is equipped primarily with 16-diameter wheels, which do not look very aesthetically pleasing on this SUV. A huge two-ton car, designed to overcome various obstacles, is equipped with such small wheels. Very often, owners of a popular SUV decide to replace the standard wheels with other, more practical ones. But before you resort to replacing these devices or simply carrying out a seasonal replacement of wheels, it is important to know that in this case you cannot do without a bolt pattern. What is a bolt pattern on an SUV, how is it produced and what you need to know about it, we will learn all this from this material.

What wheels were installed on different bodies and configurations?

Depending on the configuration, various tires and wheels were installed on the UAZ Patriot. The table shows the sizes of the rims and corresponding tires that were installed on the vehicle, as well as the engine size and the type of fuel used.

Tires	Discs
Engine capacity 2.2 liters, diesel
225/75/R16	7Jx16, ET35, 5×139.7
Engine capacity 2.5 liters, diesel
255/65/R16, 245/70/R16,	7Jx16, ET35, 5×139.7
225/75/R16
Engine capacity 2.7 liters, diesel
245/70/R16, 225/75/R16	7Jx16, ET35, 5×139.7
Engine capacity 2.7 liters, petrol
225/75/R16	7Jx16, ET35, 5×139.7

Accordingly, it is important to understand that only a few tire and wheel options are suitable for different configurations. This greatly simplifies the search for car owners to find a suitable option if a replacement is needed.

Depending on the configuration and purpose of the vehicle (civilian or military), certain disks are selected that will be directly aimed at performing certain tasks.

Disc sizes vary in several sizes: from R16 to R18. The bolt pattern does not change - 5x139.7, offset - 35 mm, central hole diameter - 108 mm, regardless of the configuration. Fastening to the hubs is carried out using standard nuts with thread parameters - M14x1.5.

What kind of discs were installed on different generations of UAZ Patriot

The type and size of wheels on UAZ Patriot often differ on cars of different years of manufacture. Also, the difference in disk size may depend on the power of the power unit. On popular versions of the UAZ Patriot, wheel rims of the following dimensions were installed:

Years of vehicle manufacture Wheel rim size Wheel offset Drilling Recommended tire size

2005-2010 16×6.0 35 5×139.7 2.5 2005-2010 16×6.0 35 5×139.7 2.7 2006-2010 16×7.0 35 5×139.7 2.3D 2006-2010 16×7.5 35 5×139.7 2.3D 2006-2010 16 ×7.0 35 5×139.7 2.5d 2006-2014 16×7.5 5 5×139.7 2.5d 2006-2014 16×8.0 20 5×139.7 2.7i 2006-2014 16×7.0 35 5×139.7 2 .7i 2006-2014 6×7.5 5 5×139.7 2.7

It is necessary to verify product parameters. The offset, drilling and dimensions must be compatible - otherwise the operation of the vehicle will become hazardous.

It is also required to indicate the parameters of the standard nuts for wheel rims on the UAZ Patriot. The original kits are equipped with a model of standard sizes M14x1.5, and the M14x1.75 version is installed on the spare wheel. If the vehicle is used in off-road conditions, it is recommended to purchase extra bolts and nuts for the discs - otherwise, you will have to regularly treat the fasteners with an anti-corrosion compound or deal with acidification and rusting of the metal.

General concept

Each car has its own wheel configuration, so an individual approach to choice is required when taking into account such technical parameters. Otherwise, safety and driving comfort will decrease, since the wheels and tire assembly are responsible for the vehicle’s maneuverability and its ability to “keep moving.” At the moment, there is a standard marking used for cast and stamped wheels, so the buyer does not feel any difficulties when choosing. Marking is designations that include the following indicators:

Bolt pattern marker.
Wheel width in inches.
Disc offset in millimeters.

Not everyone knows what a bolt pattern is. The lack of technological relationships between the bolt pattern and the type and number of bolts used is a direct violation of the fastening strength, which is why you can encounter many difficulties when driving a car, including causing an accident. Therefore, each parameter from the labeling must be considered individually.

Disc offset is the distance from where the disc contacts the hub to the center mounting hole located closer to the width of the disc. There are three types:

Positive.
Negative.
Zero when two planes coincide in size.

The manufacturer precisely regulates such parameters, so reliable subsequent use is ensured. Due to the fact that the disc offset is associated with the kinetic parameters of the car’s suspension, standard parameters can be changed by no more than 5 millimeters.

Additional information is provided in the picture so that you can clearly see the parameters written on the disk. A detailed consideration allows you to avoid difficulties when choosing, since the comfort of driving a car, safety and even its appearance depend on it.

Tire sizes for UAZ Patriot

There are three types of summer tires: road, AT and MT. If you are not going to drive in mud and participate in competitions, then you need to buy road tires or AT, in all other cases MT or mud tires for the UAZ. In sizes 16 the radius is: 235/70 and 235/75 or 245/70 and 245/75. Sizes 18 radius have 245/60, 245/65 and 265/60, 265/65. According to experts, those who have driven a UAZ Patriot for thousands of kilometers in the summer use 265/65/R18 tires, and in the winter 245/70 R16.

Winter tires for the UAZ Patriot must be studded. The dimensions of the disks on the UAZ Patriot require additional intervention; it is necessary to file the calipers, but on new cars this is not necessary, the disks fit just like that. Filing a caliper is not an easy task, it is better to contact official dealers. So, what kind of wheels on a UAZ are in demand? Let's take a look below:

Wheels r15

Wheels for UAZ R15, wheel offset ET 15, 7 inches wide. According to these parameters, alloy wheels 15 are suitable for UAZ I-502 from Nizhnekamsk, size 225/85/R15. For UAZ Bukhanka 15 wheels you don’t need to do anything, but for older models we grind off a little caliper at the front, you can even use a file. The advantage of 15 wheels on the UAZ Patriot is obvious: their lightness, good road handling and, most importantly, no excessive fuel consumption.

Wheels r16

The 16th wheel model has a larger profile, which means the tires for the UAZ Patriot are softer on the road. When hitting a curb, the wheels on the UAZ Patriot 16 can withstand this load more firmly. Wheels for the UAZ Patriot R16 have many types of tires that fit our loaf, which is important when choosing. If it is important for you to choose your size, then these are alloy wheels for the UAZ Patriot R16. Allowed dimensions are 235/70, 235/75, 245/70, 245/75, 235/85 and 255/85 without any modification or suspension lifting.

Wheels r18

Top-end tire configurations on the UAZ Patriot are within the 18th radius. In this radius, according to experts, there is only a beautiful appearance. The 18th wheel is easier to unbolt under shock loads, but for the most part, UAZ wheel rims cannot withstand impacts with curbs. With the same wheel size, this radius is much more expensive and harder on the road. In the 18th radius there are very few types of wheel sizes that will fit the UAZ Patriot. It should be understood that the larger the wheel, the more expensive it is. The larger the wheel we install, the more wear occurs on the components and assemblies of the car. When driving, the energy dynamics suffer; the larger the wheel, it is more difficult to accelerate. What is also important to note is that with large wheels, fuel consumption increases, plus 1-2 liters per 100 km, which is important for the average person.

Increasing tire radius

But those who are keen on conquering off-road conditions notice that for better traction it is better to install the wheels higher and wider. The most important parameters affecting this are width, reach and diameter.

The most popular step is to increase the outer radius of the tires, for example by installing 265/75/16 or 265/70/R17 wheels. Installation of this type of rubber does not require any modifications. To install them on a car, you just need to select wheels with sufficient offset. One of several options will do:

16x7 ET 0;
16x7 ET -19;
16x8 ET 0;
16x8 ET -19;
17X8 ET 0.

In this case, it is always necessary to take into account the condition of the suspension. The new one allows you to install wheels of any diameter, and if over time it has sagged a little, then it is better to limit yourself to the size 265/70 R16 or 255/70 R16.

Before installing large wheels on a car, some tuning will be required:

The car rises 5 centimeters or more. You can use spacers between the frame and body.
In some cases, factory problems may occur, resulting in the need to straighten the arches, or install special spacers to move the front axle forward.
We use UAH Patriot r18 wheels with an offset of more than -19 so that the wheel does not touch the suspension elements:

16x8 ET -19;
16X8 ET -25;
16X10 ET -44.

Choosing wheels for a UAZ: sizes and models

Despite the huge model variety of foreign-made SUVs, those of our citizens who regularly have to deal with real off-road conditions still prefer domestic SUVs, which have proven their superiority in extreme conditions in more than one competition.

In particular, we are talking about cars from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, which, having started its activities in the first year of World War II, had already produced its millionth car by the mid-70s. In this article we will get acquainted with modern models and consider which wheels are best installed on a UAZ in one case or another.

Which discs are better to choose: briefly about the main thing

Having decided on the size of the wheel rims, the driver is faced with the question of choosing the type of material. Wheel rims for UAZ Patriot can be:

Steel is the most common option in all regions of the Russian Federation. Structurally they consist of 2 welded elements. Among the advantages, it is worth highlighting a long service life and the possibility of accurate and easy balancing; among the disadvantages, they are heavy, which increases fuel consumption. Also, a disadvantage of steel disks is the rapid appearance of rust directly on the welds. This option is great for all-season tires;
Cast aluminum - this model is also often called light alloy. Among the advantages, it is worth highlighting the low weight, which has a positive effect on the acceleration dynamics of the engine, and also reduces fuel consumption. The downside is that such discs transmit more reinforcement to the suspension during impacts, which reduces the service life of both the suspension system and the chassis;
Cast from magnesium - this option has practically not found popularity in Russia, since, unlike aluminum casting, it is more susceptible to corrosion. All the qualitative characteristics of magnesium casting are quickly negated by rusting and deformation, especially in winter during the active use of reagents;
Forged - this model is universal and is perfect for use both off-road and on the highway or in the city. A special feature of forged wheels is complete corrosion resistance, as well as the ability to restore deformed areas. Due to their low weight, forged wheels transfer torque from the transmission to the wheels without loss, which has a beneficial effect on fuel consumption. The only drawback of the forged version for the Patriot is its high cost.

When choosing wheels based on materials, you must first focus on your own budget and operating conditions of the vehicle. If the Patriot will be used off-road, then almost any type of car will be ideal, however, when using the car in urban areas, where there are a lot of reagents, it is recommended to choose one of the options for forged or steel wheels. It is also worth considering the possibility of balancing and restoration - you will have to align the wheels on the Patriot quite often!

What drives can be installed

When choosing wheels for a UAZ Patriot, the owner must understand how the vehicle will be used, namely, the frequency, quality of the road surface, driving habits, climatic conditions, etc. are important. Depending on this, discs of various manufactures are selected - cast or forged.

Alloy wheels are made by casting an alloy, which allows them to be lightweight yet quite strong. The alloy contains high-quality steel, as well as special additives that help improve the quality characteristics of the product. Under the influence of high temperatures, the alloy is poured into a special mold, and then ground, excess material is removed, the quality of the finished disc is checked and covered with paint and varnish.

Forged wheels are slightly different at the manufacturing stage. Thanks to technology, they are very light and at the same time durable. This type of disc is produced through numerous temperature changes, due to which the finished disc is hardened. It is heated to a temperature of 600 0 C and then slowly cooled. After this, the quality of workmanship is checked and the paint coating is applied.

UAZ Patriot

Two years after the release of the Hunter series, the line of old UAZ models was updated again. In mid-2005, production began of a car codenamed Patriot, which replaced the UAZ-3162. Over the past 14 years, several variations of the car have been presented:

Patriot 2016

Classic, which was updated in 2014;
With the Sport prefix, hinting at enhanced speed characteristics, although the model differs only in body dimensions;
In 2015, an updated version was presented with a refreshed appearance and improved driving performance.

A year later, its “face” and interior were corrected, and today the car looks quite good. But, looking at the photo below, you understand that iron wheels look very undignified on such a car. What prevents the owner from installing the casting?

Let's figure out which wheels are suitable for the UAZ Patriot:

Disc bolt pattern on "Patriot" and "Hunter"

UAZ "Hunter" has R16 wheels and the following dimensions:

Rim width - 6.5J, inches.
Reach - ET 40 mm.
The diameter of the central hole is CO 108.6 millimeters.

The UAZ “Patriot” model is equipped with R16 wheels with the following dimensions:

Patriot car

Rim width - 7.0J, inches.
Reach - ET 35 mm.
The diameter of the central hole is CO 110.1 millimeters.

The exact bolt pattern value for UAZ 469 wheels, as well as other models, will allow you to select and install suitable wheel rims for the SUV and operate it without problems.

Characteristics and features of wheel bolt patterns for domestic UAZ cars

The bolt pattern is a fastening parameter; in any car it is designated by the English abbreviation PCD. Having analyzed the bolt pattern for the UAZ “Patriot” as an example, you can understand what this parameter means. In this machine it corresponds to 5 × 139.7:

the number five means that the disk has that number of holes for bolts;
139.7 denotes the diameter of the circle on which the centers of these holes are located.

You should always pay attention to this data when it is necessary to replace wheel rims. You can easily count the number of bolts yourself.

Important!

Due to the fact that human vision does not allow determining the diameter, you need to use a ruler, but a caliper is best. Having measured the size between adjacent holes, you need to insert the obtained data into a special formula and carry out the calculation.

A characteristic of the bolt pattern for SUVs of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is that for models such as Patriot, Hunter and the classic 469, it is the same and equal to 5 × 139.7.

Review of imported wheels for UAZ

The choice of imported wheels for UAZ is, of course, incomparable with manufacturers’ offers for foreign cars, but even here, if you wish, you can find something interesting.

For example, there are options from PDW international, formed 12 years ago as a result of the merger of the famous Australian company Prestige Wheels and Accessories and the Chinese Dawning Industrial.

In a short time, the PDW brand became known on all continents, also because it sells wheels of a wide variety of sizes, including those that are not often found.

The PDW M2 5220/01 model is simply gorgeous in design, although one disk costs exactly the same as two from the Russian manufacturer. Chinese wheels are cheaper, but not all of them.

Below is the LS 797 model, which costs only 1,300 rubles less than the PDW M2 5220/01, but as much as 3,000 more than any model from Krasnoyarsk KiK. Maybe this is because the manufacturer from China has Italian roots?

The wheel of another, little-known Chinese manufacturer, of which today has grown like mushrooms - NZ Wheels, presented below, is 20-25 percent cheaper than the previous LS model. But still it is one and a half thousand more expensive than Russian models.

Although we can safely bet that in terms of quality, NZ (and almost all Chinese wheels like them), if we run them on a test bench, will turn out to be much weaker.

It's a matter of Japanese-made wheels! But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t find them in online stores. But we saw German Dotz Dakar wheels, which, being stamped steel, cost even more than Russian castings.

The conclusion suggests itself: when choosing wheels for a UAZ, the best option both in terms of quality and price will be one of the models of domestic origin.

Disc care

Discs must be cared for regardless of how they were made. In order for the discs to last longer and not lose their quality characteristics, they require proper and timely care. This is especially important in winter.

First of all, it is important to replace summer and winter tires on time, since the rims help in driving, and the wrong tires will create interference and the rims will take more load. Then, you should not constantly use an aggressive driving style. This puts additional stress on many parts of the car, damaging not only the wheels, but also the suspension.

If the temperature outside changes frequently, it is recommended to constantly monitor the tire pressure. Correct pressure results in correct ride and excellent vehicle control, contributing to driving safety.

If there is snow, ice outside and utility services use chemicals, then it is necessary to periodically wash the discs, as this negatively affects the paintwork. The fact is that paintwork helps protect discs from corrosion, and chemical reagents corrode it over time. In addition, peeling paintwork does not look very nice.

By following these simple rules, you can easily save any wheels on your UAZ Patriot, regardless of manufacturing technology and material quality. As a result, it must be said that the wheels on the UAZ Patriot practically do not differ in size and they can be called universal. This allows you to quickly and easily find the necessary disks for both civilian and military versions of the Patriot.

What kind of wheels can be installed on a UAZ Patriot?

The manufacturing company recommends installing only original models of rims and tires on an SUV. Factory tire options for the Patriot are sizes 245/70 R 16, 225/75 R 16 or 235/70 R 16, on which wheels of size 5 x 139.7 ET35 d108 can be easily installed. The UAZ plant warns that the operation of a vehicle with non-standard rim sizes installed may be uncontrollable, since the car may lose traction with the road surface, and the tires may not have time to transmit torque.

In most cases, wheels on the UAZ Patriot are suitable for the Kia Sorento I generation, released in 2022 - as an option, you can use the original models of the Korean manufacturer. Also, as an option, you can install Chinese analogues on the UAZ Patriot by checking the wheels for compatibility using the vehicle’s VIN code - most wheels for the Patriot are suitable from Geely SUVs of recent years of production.

The only problem that arises when using the recommended rims is wiping the arches in winter. The original kit is not designed for studded tires, which leads to friction on the inner surface of the arches, the deformed surface of which quickly begins to rot from moisture and road chemicals. If you want to install studs on a Patriot, you will have to select wheels at random - selection by VIN number or component part numbers may not help in this case.

On average, the wheels on the Patriot do not reach the end of their service life - the poor quality of Russian roads often leads to deformation of the surface up to complete unsuitability. In this regard, it is not recommended to purchase models with a unique design, which are characterized by a high cost - the disks do not last long and you will soon have to buy new ones.

What kind of discs were installed on different generations of UAZ Patriot

It is necessary to verify product parameters. The offset, drilling and dimensions must be compatible - otherwise the operation of the vehicle will become hazardous.

It is also required to indicate the parameters of the standard nuts for wheel rims on the UAZ Patriot. The original kits are equipped with a model of standard sizes M14x1.5, and the M14x1.75 version is installed on the spare wheel. If the vehicle is used in off-road conditions, it is recommended to purchase extra bolts and nuts for the discs - otherwise, you will have to regularly treat the fasteners with an anti-corrosion compound or deal with acidification and rusting of the metal.

Basic parameters of wheels on UAZ "Patriot"

This model has several different modifications, and starting from 2018 it is produced in restyling, and the manufacturer takes care of each category of potential buyers, offering them a wide variety of geometric parameters of wheel rims, in particular:

The very first version of the Patriot from 2005 is equipped exclusively with 16-radius wheels with dimensions of 7.0J x 16 ET35, 7.5J x 16 ET5, 8.0J x 16 ET20 and 6.5J x 16 ET40, depending on the vehicle configuration. From this it can be seen that the wheel width and offset, without affecting its other geometric characteristics, which gives it the opportunity to offer drivers tire widths from 235 to 245 mm. This dimension applies to all UAZ Patriot vehicles produced until 2022.
The updated version of the SUV has acquired a more brutal appearance, and the engineers decided to equip both modifications of the car (engine capacity - 2.2 diesel and 2.7 petrol) with a radius of 18, which gives the UAZ a very advantageous look. The wheel size is the same for any configuration - 7.0J x 18 ET35, and tires with characteristics of 245/60/R18 are ideal for such wheels. As you can see, the developers tried to urbanize the car as much as possible, and the rubber profile became lower, which makes operating the SUV in the city more convenient, but off-road it feels worse than its predecessors.

Exclusive rims on the UAZ Patriot During the restyling of 2015, the base of the Patriot did not change, so the owners of this car can install R17 or R18 wheels on it themselves, and with a low tire profile, the wheel arches will not interfere with normal driving.
