Tires for VAZ 2109. Which tires are better for the "nine?"

There comes a time when the car enthusiast needs to replace the rims. This is mainly done for safety purposes, sometimes in order to create the image of the car owner. Different disks are suitable for the VAZ 2109, however, their choice must be made according to the recommendations of the car manufacturer, as well as your own preferences.

Disc sizes

At the factory, VAZ 2109 is equipped with discs with dimensions 175/70 R13. Unfortunately, they don't look very attractive. They need to wear rubber with a large profile. Small rims are practically invisible behind such a tire.

To solve this problem, you should first find out which larger disks can be installed on the VAZ 2109, because today there is a very large assortment of models with sizes R14 - R15 on the market.

If such a rim is installed on a car, will its technical characteristics remain? Is it possible to pass inspection on such wheels?

R14 wheels are allowed to be mounted on the model:

  • 2109,
  • 2108,
  • 21099,
  • 2114,

On all vehicles, rim width should not exceed 6 inches. In this case, the overhang should be within 35-40 millimeters.

It is allowed to install cast products, as well as forged structures, with the above parameters. The center hole for the discs should be more than or equal to 58.5 millimeters.

For such models, you will have to specially select rubber so that after its installation there is no change in the diameter of the wheel. Otherwise, when the car starts to turn, the tire may touch the suspension parts, possibly touching the wheel arch liners.

Experts advise to install tires with dimensions on R14 wheels:

  • 175/65 R14,
  • 185/60 R14.

The final option is considered preferable.

Diameter calculation

In principle, each driver can calculate the wheel diameter independently. To do this, he must be good at deciphering the existing rubber markings, for example, we calculate a wheel with dimensions 175/70 R13 for a nine:

  • 175 - tire width indicator (mm).
  • 70 - the size of the tread height. A percentage of the existing width is taken. In this example: 175x0.7 = 122.5 mm.
  • R13 is the diameter of the disc. Calculated: 13 x 25.4 = 330 millimeters.

To obtain the wheel diameter, add the disc diameter with the profile height multiplied by two:

330 + 122.5 x 2 = 575 mm.

If you calculate the other wheels, you get:

  • 175/65 R14 - 583,
  • 185/60 R14 - 577 mm.

The last option is considered the most optimal. The tire is ten millimeters wider. The contact patch of such rubber is much larger, which means that the braking distance will decrease.

The car will be more stable and much easier to drive. Rubber will not wrinkle when cornering at high speed.

However, with all the positive aspects, there are several disadvantages. The wide tire has an aquaplaning effect when driving at high speed. There is no such effect on narrow tires.

In the cabin, shocks will be felt from hitting potholes due to the low profile height. The recommended dimensions of the discs must be indicated in the technical documentation of the car.

Large disc elements

Large disks (15 inches) can be installed on Samara. However, the manufacturer does not recommend doing this, so problems may occur when passing a technical inspection.

The tire 185/55 R15 is suitable for such wheels. Of course, you can try to install 195/50 R15. Before installation, it is imperative to carry out all measurements. It is possible that the wheel will start to "rub", since the width of the rubber is too large.

Fitting a custom wheel rim should take into account the driving style of the vehicle. For example, fans of fast driving can be advised to install strong and light discs at the same time on the "nine", since heavy ones will not allow to develop good speed.

Low-income car enthusiasts don't really need expensive alloy rims. To make the car look attractive, it is enough to install beautiful hubcaps, the cost of which is affordable for every motorist.

VAZ 2109 belongs to the Lada "Sputnik" family - a five-door modification of the previous model 2108 from the Lada "Sputnik" family.

From the factory conveyor, classic models came out with standard stamped steel alloy rims:

  • 4 1 / 2J-13;
  • 4 1 / 2J-13H2;
  • 5 J-13H2.

Before deciphering the marking, you need to figure out what technical dimensions and parameters of car disks are accepted. Regardless of the manufacturing method, cast or stamped - their designation is carried out in the same way. On the outer surface there is a stamp that displays all the necessary amount of information.

This includes:

  • the name of the manufacturing plant;
  • the state where the release took place;
  • date (on a week / year basis, example: 1815 - 18 week of 2015);
  • X-ray scan marking (light-alloy cast products are checked for internal cracks and defects);
  • sizes;
  • control department mark (for Russia - ROSTEST, for Germany - TUV, international organization - ISO, for America - SAE, etc.);
  • heat number and allowable load (lb (lb), kg, example: max load 1800LB - maximum pressure up to 1800 lbs or 816 kg).

More details about standard sizes

All over the world it is customary to use the European designation system. For example, simple wheels for "tubeless" on the VAZ-2109 - 4 1/2 J-13H2 ET30.

  • J - coded parameters for the side flange of the rim in mm (this includes radii of roundings, angles of inclination, etc.). This clause includes a list of dimensions for obtaining a highly specialized opinion when conducting technical tests. There are other categories - D, E, F, etc.

  • H2 - double hump or annular overhang of the HUMP rim flange (it keeps the tubeless tire from slipping). There are also such variants of humps - H (simple), A (asymmetric), CH (combined), FH (flat).

13 - landing diameter in inches.

The drawing below clearly shows the main parameters for the structure of the arrangement of technological holes and protrusions.

  • ET30 or ET + 30 - wheel offset in mm. The dimensions of the distances between the middle of the disc width and the mating plane (where the disc and the hub are in contact) are indicated, respectively equal to 30 mm. Based on where the product is manufactured, the marking changes to OFFSET (negative) or DEPORT (positive).

With a minus value, a designation is carried out with a similar sign, for example "-ET30".

Rim Mount Values ​​(Bolt Patterns)

When installing, it is important to take into account the landing size advised by the manufacturer, since differences may be due to different systems of calculation (metric or imperial).

  • The diameter distance between the fastener holes is designated as PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter). The adopted scheme for the VAZ-2109 looks like 4x98 or PCD 98/4, i.e. between the central axes of the bolts (in the amount of 4 pieces) 98 mm.
  • Fasteners - metric thread M12x1.25 (bolt stud diameter 12 mm and thread pitch 1.25 mm).
  • The central hole for the hub shaft on the disc is designated as DIA and for the VAZ-2109 it is equal to 58.5 mm.

Important! It is not uncommon for car enthusiasts to confuse the PCD values ​​due to a difference of only a couple of mm. For example, the standard size for the two central holes is just a visually imperceptible deviation of 2 mm - this is PCD for 4/98 and 100. Only 1 bolt will turn out to be completely tightened, and the remaining 3 will be under-tightened, which will ultimately lead to an emergency.

Installation of wheel disks on R14, 15 on the VAZ-2109 model

The standard wheel with the parameters 175/70 R13 does not differ in special visual "nobility", in comparison with the enlarged version of the R14 or R15. This is due to the high height of the rubber profile, which visually "obscures" the already small dimensions of the disc.

The technical features of the VAZ-2109 model provide for the installation of disks of the R14 and R15 categories - forged or cast light-alloy. In width, the discs can be from 5 to 6 inches with a characteristic overhang from 35 to 40 mm. The rest of the values ​​for PCD and DIA correspond to 4x98 with a center connector diameter of 58.5 mm.

In this case, the selection of rubber must be carried out on the basis that the total diameter of the wheel is within the standard value. Failure to comply with this condition will lead to the fact that during the turn, the tire will begin to wipe the wheel arch liners and suspension parts.

Settlement method

Based on the rubber characteristics of a standard 175/70 wheel with a radius of R13, where:

  • the values ​​175 and 70 are the values ​​of the tire width and tire height in percent;
  • multiply 175x0.7 with each other, we get 122.5 mm;
  • the actual disc diameter R13 is 13x25.39 will be 330 mm.

To find out the total diameter of the wheel, you need to add the two obtained values, but the profile height is doubled, i.e. (122.5x2) adds up to 330 to make 575 mm.

Calculations are carried out according to the same principle for a more visual perception, for example: for models 175 / 70R13, 175 / 65R14 and 185 / 60R14, 575, 583 and 577 mm come out, respectively.

The last value will be most suitable for the VAZ-2109, since it is 10 mm wider in width. This will reduce the braking distance during operation, add controllability, and reduce rubber wrinkling when cornering at high speed. Fuel consumption will increase slightly, but potholes and bumps on the road will be less noticeable.

Maximum and minimum parameters of non-standard disks

Design engineers of the Togliatti Automobile Plant do not particularly "welcome" the installation of wheel disks with a radius of R15, but there is no direct reason not to do so.

The problem is the difficulty of performing this operation without the involvement of specialists; the intervention of qualified craftsmen is required. The reason for this is the "conflict" of the rear arches and suspension parts with new rims, and in some cases it is necessary to violate the factory design of the transmission.

Note! We should not forget about the mandatory technical inspection, and how the traffic police will look at such an "upgrade".

A suitable rubber size for R15 wheels is 185/55 and even 195/50, but most likely such a large width will cause rubbing along the arch. Below are the recommended discs for modifications to the VAZ-2109.

Table characteristics for the selection of disks

Diameter R13

Diameter R14

Diameter R15

The most suitable size wheels are 14 inches (R14). As mentioned above, it is allowed to install 15-inch ones, but with low-profile rubber. In this version, the stem should be in a gap between 30-35 mm, and tire models will fit this category: 185/55 or 195/50.

Large R15 tires such as 195/55 or 205/50 are suitable for front axle mounting. In order to insert them on the rear axle, a constructive improvement in the suspension structure and an increase in the wheel arches will be required. The optimal dimensions for installation on a VAZ-2109 are models 185/60 for R14 and 195/50 for R15.

On the ninth model of the fret, it is beneficial to carry out external tuning to replace the wheels, since this method is budgetary. It can be done without any problems in-house, if you do not try to mount very large rims.

If you look at the VAZ 2109, the size of the wheels is not very impressive in its appearance. The discrepancy between the small diameter of the wheel and the high profile of the rubber immediately catches the eye. Therefore, car enthusiasts often think about which discs are best suited for a comfortable car ride.

Which discs to choose?

Wheel disks perform the following important functions:

  • transmission of torque;
  • sealing the tire along the inner perimeter of the touch;
  • precise placement of the wheel in relation to the suspension and body.

1.Decoding the characteristics of rubber

First of all, you need to figure out how to decipher the characteristics of rubber, which are usually applied to the side surface of the tire. Usually the size is designated 175/70 R13. From this entry it follows that the tire width is 175 mm; 70 - the height of the tire profile (% of the width). In this example, the profile height is determined as follows: 175x0.7 = 122.5 mm.

Let's translate the diameter into a general dimension: d = 13x25.4 = 330 mm. As a result, the outer diameter of the tire will be: D = 330 + 122.5x2 = 575 mm.

For 14 ″ disks, the basic dimensions can be as follows: 185/60 R14 and 175/65 R14.

2.Features of using wide and narrow wheels

Each size has its own advantages and disadvantages. A wider tire increases the grip patch. As a result, braking is improved and the car becomes more controllable. If you use an alloy wheel, the wheel becomes much lighter. The car runs more steadily on a straight line, but dives worse into a turn. The wider the tire, the more likely it will aquaplane on the fast lane.

With a low profile, the rubber is more resistant to deformation when cornering. But then the bumps from the bumps in the road become stronger. They are transferred directly to the suspension and bodywork. As a result, the wear of the chassis increases and the ride comfort is impaired.

In winter, a wide tire is less able to push through a thin layer of snow or water, which worsens traction. A tall tire is better at smoothing out shocks from uneven road surfaces, but when cornering sharply at high speed, it can “break”. It folds to the side or jumps off the disc. The disc can also touch the asphalt and this creates a tip over hazard.

The use of 15 ″ discs is prohibited by the manufacturer and the vehicle may not pass technical inspection. If such discs are used for VAZ 2109, wheel sizes are recommended with a width of 185 mm and 195 mm. In the latter case, the wide tire begins to touch the arch. For a wide disc, it is required to increase its overhang, which leads to overload and rapid bearing failure.

Changing the outer diameter of the wheel

For VAZ 2109, they usually try to take the recommended wheel sizes or a little more, as far as the design of the arches will allow. When installing a wheel with a smaller diameter on a car, noise is reduced and acceleration dynamics increases. As a result, there are more shortcomings: the vehicle's ground clearance decreases, the maximum speed decreases, the speedometer starts to "twist", and the grip deteriorates.

The maximum wheel width on the VAZ 2109 is 195 mm. The next dimension is 205 mm and this is already exceeding the limit. The wide tire starts to graze on the arches and need to be trimmed. Numerous videos and photos on the Internet show that this is a rather difficult job.

An increase in the outer diameter of the wheel, if it does not interfere with driving, eliminates all the above disadvantages, but then acceleration deteriorates. The load on the steering wheel also increases and this is noticeable since there is no power steering.

Other settings

In addition to the basic characteristics of the tire and wheel, there are other important indicators that must be considered. One of these is wheel offset, which is the distance from the wheel hub to the middle of the disc.

You can also increase the vehicle's ground clearance by using spacers under the shock absorbers. You can install them yourself. Then the overhang can be made smaller, but its deviation from the recommended one leads to a change in the load on the hub bearing. This will lead to a decrease in its resource and affect the controllability of the machine.

The overhang can be made less than recommended for wide discs. If the disks are narrow, then you can take more. For the correct choice, it is advisable to seek help from a specialist, from whom you will receive precise instructions on what parameters are needed. When purchasing discs, it is imperative to accurately select the installation dimensions for the mounting bolts and nuts (PCD). If the choice is made even with a small mistake, a disc can be installed on the hub with a slight PCD deviation, which is not noticeable visually. Then some of the bolts will fit exactly, while others will be skewed. Such a wheel will begin to "eight", and the nuts spontaneously unwind.

Conclusion

Deviations in the size of tires and rims from the standard for your car have features that should be taken into account when driving. The choice of one or another version of the VAZ 2109 wheel depends on what is its price and the preferences of the motorist.

Replacing discs is a natural step for owners of any car. Even those who prefer to drive factory wheels will not be able to use them forever. And when the old ones fall into disrepair, the question arises - what to buy to replace them.

Views

Analyzing the wheel rim market, the entire range can be divided into three types:

  • Steel stamped;
  • Light alloy cast;
  • Light alloy forged.

Many cars, including the VAZ 2109, were equipped with stamped discs from the factory. Outwardly, they are completely unattractive, over time they lose their external characteristics. Let's be honest, this is a relic of the past.

But at the same time, steel stampings have their own advantages, due to which this type of disc is still produced and is in impressive demand among consumers:

  • Affordable price. These are the cheapest options available today;
  • High strength indicators. Considering the quality of our roads, many people think first of all about the quality, safety, and not external data;
  • Reliability. They will not have to be changed almost every season, which results in impressive savings;
  • Under strong impacts, the stampings do not break or crack. The maximum is crumpled, which opens up opportunities for restoration, restoration;
  • Easy to remove and change without assistance.

But let's be honest to the end. With all their positive qualities, the disgusting appearance makes car owners abandon reliability and durability in favor of the image and visual appeal. And do not think that light-alloy options are absolutely fragile and break only from one type of pit.

Light alloy

If we talk about light-alloy wheels, then they are made, you guessed it, from special light alloys.

There are three types of alloys used in total.

Alloy type

Peculiarities

Titanium

An excellent choice in all respects, except for cost. These are the most expensive light-alloy wheels, which, nevertheless, serve for a long time, reliably, and look simply excellent.

Aluminum

Many people put aluminum alloy in the first place, taking into account the external characteristics, indicators of strength and availability. An important plus of aluminum is that it is not afraid of corrosion. When used properly, aluminum alloy will last a long time and maintain the beautiful appearance of the vehicle.

When choosing alloy wheel sets, be sure to compare their strengths and weaknesses. Appearance is far from the only criterion that you need to pay attention to when buying.

Advantages and disadvantages of light alloy

When compared to steel rims, the choice of alloy options provides car owners with a fairly extensive list of benefits. But it is also important to know about the cons.

Advantages

disadvantages

  • Attractive, modern appearance that makes the discs stand out from competitors and uniform stamped products;
  • Reduces the weight of the unsprung part;
  • Allows you to implement original design ideas;
  • Effectively cools the brake assembly;
  • During manufacturing, the maximum accuracy is observed, which has a positive effect on balancing, tire wear;
  • During production, they are covered with anti-corrosion compounds, which allows you not to be afraid of driving even on snow-covered roads strewn with salt or other reagents
  • The material is quite fragile, therefore, with strong impacts, cracks appear or the disc breaks altogether;
  • It is impossible to repair light-alloy products, unlike stamped steel;
  • You can damage the disc in the simplest situation, for example, when parking the car;
  • When choosing products from dubious manufacturers, there is a high probability of getting into a factory defect;
  • Disks do not dampen shocks, from which the suspension of the car suffers more, additional loads act on it

Operating rules

  1. Try to avoid bumps, which requires more careful driving.
  2. Park carefully, watch carefully where you park your car.
  3. Avoid driving over pits, potholes. This is dangerous for a car with any wheels, but if the stamping can still be restored later, the light alloy will have to be sent to a landfill.
  4. When driving on rails, do not pick up high speed. Hitting metal can provoke not only deformation of the discs, but also damage to the suspension.

Marking and parameters

There are three types of markings indicated on the rims:

  • European;
  • Russian;
  • American.

The difference between them is not significant, plus the information is always indicated the same, only sometimes with different designation methods.

When choosing wheels for the VAZ 2109, you need to adhere to the choice of products with the following parameters.

Parameter

Features and requirements

Here we are talking about rim width and diameter. For nines, it is relevant to use discs where the diameter and width of the rim have the following parameters - 5.5 by 13.5, 5.5 by 14, or 6 by 14 inches. It is possible to install discs with a large diameter, only this will affect the technical characteristics, control complexity, fuel consumption and other parameters

This is the number of holes for fixing the disc and the distance between them. For VAZ 2109, the required parameter is 98/4

This is the diameter of the center hole. In the VAZ 2109, it is 58.1 mm

This is a crash. Requires +40. Taking shorter offset discs will increase traction, resulting in tighter steering, faster wheel bearing wear and higher fuel consumption.

Focus on these key parameters when choosing a new kit. Plus, don't forget about the role of the quality of the products themselves.

When choosing a set of new stampings or light alloy, be sure to pay attention to the following points.

  1. All alloy wheels must be certified, supplemented with a quality mark and X-ray control.
  2. All discs must have a mark of the supervisory authority and a document confirming that the discs have passed quality control and compliance with current standards.
  3. The product indicates the maximum load capacity that the disc can handle.
  4. The name and other data about the manufacturer are quite obvious information that you can and should read on the disk.
  5. Product heat number, production method, marking and production date. If not, look for the kit in another store. This is clearly a fake or questionable batch.

Storage rules

Many car owners purchase two sets of discs, one of which is used in winter and the other in summer. This allows you not to throw rubber from one set to another every time.

But if you leave the wheels in the garage or elsewhere for a long time, you risk losing their original quality, since the storage rules were not followed.

And they are quite simple.

  1. Don't just drop the kit somewhere in the corner where there is more space.
  2. Before storing, mark the wheels so you know where is front left, rear right, and so on.
  3. Store wheels only in a dry, cool and dark place. There should be no chemicals, gasoline, oil in the immediate vicinity of the tires. These components are capable of destroying the structure of the wheels over time, therefore their service life is noticeably reduced.
  4. If tires are stored with discs, do not keep them in a standing position. Hang or place horizontally. Many experts advise using wooden pallets.
  5. If the rubber is stored separately, it is placed vertically. Moreover, the tires should be rotated once a month so that the pressure does not deform the compound. Do not hang or stack tires one on top of the other.
  6. Before storing, inspect the projectors to remove any pebbles, stuck pebbles.
  7. Check the condition of the wheels carefully before installing them for a new season.

Wheel rims are not just a visual decoration for a car. In many respects, safety, reliability of the suspension, fuel consumption and a number of other parameters depend on their quality and correct choice.

Each owner of a domestic car sooner or later thinks about such a question - which disks on the VAZ 2109 are better to install. In this case, it is necessary to determine the size of the wheels and the method of their manufacture. It is possible to install stamped and light-alloy products of various sizes on the machine. It is also important to know the parameters of VAZ disks so that the kit fits perfectly.

Models VAZ 2108 and 2109 have become legends for a long time. For all the time, a huge number of these cars were produced, which were supplied to various countries of the world. Simplicity of design and ease of maintenance have made this machine one of the most popular in the manufacturer's line of models.

VAZ 2109 car

Wheels for 2109 and 2108 from VAZ were installed the same. The cars had identical parameters, the only difference was the number of doors. Due to the high popularity of the car, on the country's market you can find a huge number of offers for the sale of spare parts, tires and wheels.

Note!

The dimensions of the wheel arches allow you to install discs with radii from R13 to R15 on the "Nine".

Some car owners prefer to install products that exceed these allowable dimensions. In this case, it is necessary to redesign the machine.

In the factory configuration, the machine is most often supplied with stamped wheels of various radii. There are some versions with cast products, but they are quite rare. However, every motorist has a time when it is necessary to change wheels. This can be due to wear or damage, changing seasons or other reasons.

In this case, the market has plenty to choose from. Both original stamped or light-alloy wheels are presented, as well as products from various other companies. Some car owners even buy used products.


Alloy wheels of large radius on the VAZ 2109

During the entire production period, there have been no changes in the parameters and dimensions of the wheel mounts. It is possible to install them from early models to new ones and vice versa. Many domestic manufacturers of disks offer a special line of products for the VAZ 2109. In this case, all parameters and sizes are ideally matched. The most popular setting is for 2109 15-inch disks. This is considered the best solution, since this size meets the manufacturer's requirements and does not affect the smoothness and comfort when driving.

Almost all VAZ cars have the same bolt pattern.

The standard bolt pattern is 4x98. That is, to install the products, four bolts are required, which are attached at an axial distance of 98 millimeters. This is a very popular mounting method among vehicles of this class. Thanks to this, car owners usually do not have problems with the selection of wheel disks.

If a decision was made to replace the wheels, then many different parameters and characteristics must be taken into account. Chief among them are the dimensions in width and height of the product, overhang and bolt pattern. Knowing them, you can safely purchase the selected discs.

However, the following factors should be kept in mind:

  • In winter, it is advisable to install wheels of the minimum radius and width. This is done to obtain better stability in bad weather on slippery road surfaces;
  • There are no special requirements in the warm season. Large discs can be used, this will give more control and stability under normal conditions.

Among tuning enthusiasts, it is popular to redesign a car to install large products. It is important to take into account that intervention in the design of the machine should be done as carefully as possible and it is advisable to entrust it to professionals. In addition, oversizing can lead to problems with annual maintenance. Fitting large wheels will greatly affect ride comfort.

Characteristics and parameters of wheels for a domestic car

The main parameters of any product is bolt pattern or drilling.

Due to the fact that the VAZ 2109 has a common base with the models of the Fiat concern, this parameter is 4x98. However, you should also take into account the dimensions of the overhang and the diameter of the hub. If all of the above parameters are the same, then we can safely say that the disk will do.

There is a wide range of products on the market with a drilling parameter of 4x100. These products are inexpensive and of high quality, and many car owners are tempted to install them. It is possible to carry out such an installation, but for this it is necessary to purchase special eccentric bolts, which are designed to install discs of other sizes.


Wheel parameters

As for the wheels themselves, on the VAZ 2109 it is possible to install the sizes at 13, 14 and 15 inches. In the latter case, it is necessary to select rubber with a low profile so that the wheel fits.

The car from the factory was equipped with wheel disks of the following dimensions:

  • wheels 5J for 13 ET40 with tires 165 / 70R13;
  • wheels 4.5J for 13 ET40, tires - 155 / 80R13;
  • 5.5J wheels for 13 ET40, tires - 175 / 70R13;
  • wheels 5J for 14 ET40, tires - 175 / 65R14;
  • 5.5J wheels for 14 ET37, tires - 185 / 60R14;
  • wheels 6J for 14 ET35, tires - 185 / 60R14.

Other characteristics of products for a VAZ 2109 car:

  • PCD (bolt pattern) - 4x98 (4 - the number of holes, 98 - the diameter of the circle on which they are located in mm);
  • fasteners - M12 by 1.25 (12 - stud diameter in mm, 1.25 - thread size);
  • central hole diameter - 58.5 mm;
  • tire pressure - 1.9-2 bar.
  • 4.5, 5 and 6J represent the width of the wheel rim. In this case, it is equal to sizes from 4.5 to 6 inches;
  • The number 13 or 14 denotes the mounting diameter, measured in inches;
  • ET is the size of the disc protrusion, measured in millimeters;
  • The drill or bolt parameter is referred to as 4x98, or PCD. In this case, the product is fixed with four bolts, which are located in a circle, the diameter of which is 98 millimeters;
  • The diameter of the center hole is the size for the hub, measured in millimeters.

Knowing all these parameters, problems with the selection and purchase of disks for a car should not arise.

Wheel dimensions

Some of the most popular sizes for a domestic car are R14 and R15. Installation of such products is possible without any problems, subject to the dimensions of the overhang, width and drilling. If a decision is made to install products that differ in size, then it is necessary to redo some units or purchase a set of spacers.

Note!

The problem with installing large wheels is the small wheel arches.

If the parameters are exceeded without reworking the arches, then the tires in turns will touch the slats and arches, which will lead to high wear of all units and parts of the chassis.

To avoid such problems, you should purchase rims that are guaranteed to fit in all parameters. Optimum sizes of 14 and 15 inches match the factory settings for handling, dynamics and ride comfort.

Wheels with radius R13 and R14 will give the maximum level of driving comfort.

As for large sizes, the decision to install them has its positive and negative sides, which are important to know. And the decision on the purchase and replacement of wheels must be made by the car owner.

  • Improved vehicle behavior on the road;
  • Improving the appearance of the car;
  • Maximum road performance, such as dynamics, handling;
  • Better absorption of road surface defects;
  • When fitted with high-profile tires, the wear resistance of the suspension increases;
  • Decrease in braking distance.
  • A decrease in the level of comfort in motion, which is associated with a high sensitivity of the suspension to all road defects;
  • Difficulty parking and driving on roads with problematic surfaces;
  • Increased requirements for pressure control in low-profile tires;
  • Increased fuel consumption, which is associated with the increased complexity of driving the wheels;
  • The high price of the kit.

Why is it important to buy original alloy wheels

The purchase of original light alloy products is a guarantee that the highest safety and quality requirements are met. Good manufacturers make sure to check products before shipping them to stores.

Only original alloy wheels have low weight and good dynamic properties. This will reduce the level of wear, fuel consumption and improve the quality of the machine's handling in all situations.

How to choose stamped products


VAZ 2109 with stamped wheel disks

Stamped wheels are the most common for the VAZ 2109. Cars are equipped with these from the factory very often. This is due to the low cost of manufacturing such products.

They are not attractive in terms of design and have low performance, but often car enthusiasts are attracted by their price. It is necessary to install stamped products on VAZ in compliance with the same requirements as for cast ones. Their parameters and sizes are fully consistent.

The dimensions and parameters common for the entire line of VAZ car models allow you to choose a set of discs without any problems.
