When purchasing a Lada Granta in the basic configuration, an experienced car enthusiast begins tuning the car first of all by replacing conventional stamped wheels with cast ones in the sports style. Original wheels on a Lada Granta not only transform the appearance of the car, but also affect its behavior on the road, as well as fuel consumption and tire wear.
The process of selecting rims for Lada Granta, which includes a number of important characteristics and parameters, deserves special attention. This article examines in detail the design and characteristics of Lada Granta rims, and also provides recommendations for choosing the most optimal rim parameters for a domestic car.

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?
The Lada Granta Cross 2022 1.6i 106 is equipped as standard with 6Jx15 ET33 rims assembled with 195/55 R15 85H tires. Where:
- 6J - rim width in inches;
- 15″ — tire diameter in inches;
- ET33 - disc offset in millimeters.
The vehicle tire marking 195/55 R15 is deciphered as follows:
- 195 — profile width (cross section of the tire) in millimeters;
- 55 — profile height as a percentage of its width;
- R - radial cord winding;
- 15 is the tire diameter in inches.
In addition, information about its load capacity and speed parameters can be printed on the rubber - load index and speed index. The load index is a two- or three-digit number; the speed index is indicated in Latin letters, for example 85H:
- 85 - maximum permissible tire load 515 kg;
- H — maximum permissible vehicle speed is 210 km/h.
Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table. For example, wider discs of the same diameter. Or install wheels of the same width, but with a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.
At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 4x98. Thus, all disks are mounted on four bolts and the distance between them is exactly ninety-eight millimeters. The diameter of the car's hub is 58.6 mm.
Standard tire pressure is 2 MPa.
Selection of tires for Lada Granta by season
As for winter tires for the Lada Grant, you will have to choose between studded tires and Velcro tires. Studded tires are good for driving on ice and snowy roads, while velcro tires are preferable for large cities, although both options are quite functional and interchangeable.
When choosing winter tires for the Lada Granta, you should consider the tread very carefully. Its lamellas must be small so that the car can brake on ice, and the overall aggressiveness of the pattern is a guarantee that the car will feel confident on a snowy road.
When buying tires, you should make sure that they comply with international standards and have a certificate of conformity issued in the Russian Federation.
The Small Wheels store offers a wide range of original tires from world famous brands in Smolensk. Here you can choose tires for the Lada Granta produced by:
- Goodyear;
- Pirelli
- Continental;
- Dynlop;

Tips for choosing wheels for Lada Granta Sport and Liftback
The basic equipment of the Lada Granta Sport initially provides for the installation of 16-inch multi-spoke rims, which stylishly emphasize and complement the sport prefix. The Granta Liftback in the luxury configuration is also equipped with a similar 14- and 15-inch casting. When replacing the rim of a liftback or sport version car, it is recommended to adhere to the following recommendations:
- 1. When choosing new rims for the Lada Granta Sport or Liftback, you should take into account both the exterior design of the car and the design features of the car, the owner’s driving style and the quality of the roads. A large rim diameter with low-profile tires will be appropriate for operating the car only on high-quality road surfaces;
- 2. Select wheels for a sports car based on the size of the brake mechanism. That is why it is not recommended to install disks with a diameter below 16 inches on the Lada Granta Sport, since the brake will rest against the rim.
Low-profile tires have better driving qualities compared to high-profile tires, which is especially important for any car. Accordingly, the diameter of the disc for low tires will be larger.

Expert advice
When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.
- On what roads will the car be primarily used?
- Do you need increased cross-country ability?
- How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
- Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?
The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.
How to choose the right wheels for Lada Granta Cross 2022?
- Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
- Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
- Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.
The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.
So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.
It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).
The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.
What is the tire pressure?
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:
- deterioration of management;
- uneven tread wear.
Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:
- increased fuel consumption;
- rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
- the car becomes less maneuverable.
An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.

Attention! Our catalog is an information resource and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed dimensions with your car. Make sure that your car has wheels of the appropriate radius.
How non-standard wheels can affect
Wheel parameters can affect vehicle handling and comfort. But it should be taken into account that the better the car’s handling, the worse this affects the comfort of the suspension.
The smaller the rubber profile and the larger the disc diameter, the better the Granta’s handling. In addition, fuel consumption increases, steering accuracy increases, but the noise of the tires and the vehicle's resistance to aquaplaning do not change. Of course, a large disc will negatively affect comfort.
Tire and wheel width can also affect handling, stability and increased tire wear. The width of the tires will also negatively affect the vehicle's resistance to hydroplaning, but can increase traction, provided the road surface is dry. Ideally, asphalt.
The width of the tires plays virtually no role in improving or deteriorating comfort.
A smaller rim means the use of rubber with a larger profile. Consequently, the wheels will be softer, which means increased comfort. But you need to understand that such a configuration does not fit in with improved handling.
Do not forget that the size of the disk can also affect the dynamic performance of the car. The manufacturer uses tire and wheel sizes at which speed and acceleration will be the highest, and the load on the engine and transmission will be minimal.
Deviation from these dimensions entails certain consequences - reduced dynamics, inaccurate speedometer readings and much more.
The width of the rims and their diameter can affect the suspension geometry. Therefore, after installing large wheels, it is necessary to do a wheel alignment.
Clarifications on acceptable wheel sizes for Cross and Sport versions of LADA cars
AVTOVAZ recommends installing only one size of tires and wheels on the Cross and Sport versions (on Vesta Cross, XRAY Cross and Vesta Sport only 17-inch wheels, on Largus Cross only R16, and Granta Cross only R15). These permissible tire and wheel sizes are indicated in the vehicle owner's manual. However, when checking a car, government agencies are guided by the requirements that are specified in the documents drawn up when certifying a car before starting sales in the country - VTTS (Vehicle Type Approval). The Lada.Online website studied these documents and discovered an interesting feature.
The OTTS number is indicated in the title of your vehicle. We find it on the Internet and look at the acceptable tires.
Dimensions
For the Lada Granta Sport, it is possible to install different wheel sizes. As standard, the car comes with 15 and 16-inch alloy wheels. These dimensions are calculated by the designers as optimal for a sports car. In this case, the chassis will operate most efficiently and have a minimum level of wear on components and parts. Exceeding the recommended dimensions is at your own risk and may have undesirable consequences.

If possible, when replacing wheels it is best to install ones made by forging. These are the most durable and lightweight products that can significantly improve the performance of the machine.
To select high-quality rims for Grant Sport, you need to know the size of the mounts and other parameters, as well as determine the optimal size of the wheels themselves.
Vesta Cross, SW Cross and Sport
The operating manual indicates only one size of permitted tires and wheels: 205/50 R17. And the OTTS indicates three acceptable sizes:
Starting from July 2, 2022, a note appeared in the OTTS for commercial modifications of Lada Vesta TS RU E-RU.AB58.00956 and subsequent ones (TS RU E-RU.AB58.00978, TS RU E-RU.AB58.00869 :
It turns out that the installation of tires 185/65 R15, 195/55 R16 and 205/50 R17 is allowed on Lada Vesta Cross, SW Cross and Sport, provided that the car’s OTTS does not contain a restriction on Cross and Sport (at the moment there is one only in OTTS for commercial modifications).
What are the maximum wheels you can put on a Grant?
It is worth noting that the permissible tire and wheel sizes must not be exceeded. It is not by chance that the manufacturer sets these restrictions.
First of all, a large wheel will touch the arch or fender liner and prevent the wheel from fully turning when cornering.
The second point is the huge load on the wheel bearings. The larger the diameter of the wheel and the more it weighs, the more the bearing is loaded. Eventually, it begins to hum due to wear and tear and fails.
The maximum wheel and tire size allowed by the manufacturer is as follows:
Many car owners managed to replace the standard tires with size 205/70R16. This can only be done on a Lada Granta Cross and then with a lifted suspension. But this is nothing good for the car.
When replacing disks, it is important to install the appropriate bolts and observe the wheel bolt pattern of the Lada Granta - 4x98.
This list can be continued indefinitely. The fact is that the profile also affects the possible diameter. The smaller the tire profile, the larger the rim that can be installed on the car.
It is worth noting that Granta has the potential to install larger wheels. For this purpose, a special limiter was even provided on the standard steering rack, which prevents the wheels from touching the fender liners with a large turnout.
Lada XRAY Cross
The operating manual indicates only one size of permitted tires and wheels: 215/50 R17. And the OTTS specifies five acceptable sizes:
- 195/65 R15
- 185/65 R15
- 205/55 R16
- 205/50 R17
- 215/50 R17
There are no restrictions for the Cross version. It turns out that on the XRAY Cross you can legally install a different wheel size R17, as well as R16 or R15.
Features of tire selection for Lada Granta
Regardless of the quality of standard tires, the driver will need an additional set of wheels with the onset of the next cold weather, because hard treads will not be able to keep the car on the road in an emergency. And the poor quality of roads in certain regions of the country often causes the need for emergency tire service, including the installation of new tires to replace irretrievably lost ones. All this means that the driver is often faced with the problem of selecting tires for his “iron horse” and he must adhere to the following rules:
- Seasonality and the nature of the vehicle’s operation should be taken into account. If the driver is preparing to buy a winter set of wheels, then he should consider the size R13-R15, because this tire on the Granta has a fairly high profile, allowing the tire to provide reliable grip not only on the sole with the treads, but also on the side surface cord.
Winter tires for Lada Granta
At the same time, the high profile provides a sufficient air buffer, which has the effect of natural shock absorption of the spring part. This factor increases driver comfort in the cabin, and also reduces wear on the vital systems of the car base - the hub, suspension, steering rod and ball joints. In addition, the diameter of the R15 rim is ideal for installing all-season tires, which eliminates the need for the driver to annually re-shoe the car for the next 2-3 years during normal operation.
Note!
When it comes to high-speed driving on asphalt in the summer, the high profile can become deformed when cornering. Experts advise using tires with low sides and increased dimensions - R16 or R17. By helping to reduce rolling resistance, the operation of the power unit will be as efficient as possible, and the driver will be able to squeeze the maximum permissible speed out of it.
- Also, given that this car is a budget car, and its retail price starts at 420 thousand rubles. as of February 2022, not every car enthusiast is ready to spend large sums on its re-shoes. After all, an R17 tire produced by brands such as Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli or Continental can easily cost 10 thousand rubles. per product or more, so drivers often resort to domestic analogues.

Viatti tires for Lada Granta
The most popular Russian tire manufacturers, whose products are compatible with almost all cars of the AvtoVAZ concern, are factories such as Nokian with a branch in the Leningrad region, Viatti - an Italian brand produced on the basis of the Nizhnekamskneftekhim enterprise, Matador, Amtel and many other companies , based in different regions of the Russian Federation.
- The last thing you should pay attention to is the rubber outsole, as it must have a pronounced tread in accordance with its purpose. In the case of the winter studded version, the metal elements must sit firmly in the thickness of the rubber compound and be made of stainless alloys. The high quality of the treads, carefully thought out by the engineers, not only provides the best grip on the road surface, but also reduces noise levels, which is extremely important for the comfort of the occupants.
Important!
When choosing wheels, owners should pay attention to the originality of the brand and purchase products only from authorized retail outlets.
Lada Granta Cross and Kalina Cross
The owner's manual specifies only one size of acceptable tires and wheels: 195/55R15. And the OTTS indicates the following permissible dimensions:
- 175/70 R13
- 175/65 R14
- 185/60 R14
- 185/55 R15
- 195/55 R15
- 195/50 R15 (only in OTTS Kalina)
There are no restrictions for the Cross version, however, when choosing wheel rims, take into account the size of the brake discs installed on the car. It turns out that you can legally install R14 or even R13 wheels on Granta/Kalina Cross.

Size of summer and winter tires for Lada Granta, which tires to choose
Granta is a relatively new front-wheel drive car, developed by VAZ on the basis of Kalina, and launched into production in 2011. Since that time, along with sedan-type models, the Lada Granta liftback began to be produced. The change of body did not affect the tire size, unlike the Sedan Sport modification.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the parameters of the tires used on these cars, and also present a small selection of models for winter and summer.
Basic tire sizes
In principle, to find out what size tires can be installed on a Lada Granta, just look at the passport or at the plate on the inside of the car door.
Nevertheless, we present to your attention a list of parameters that the manufacturer declares using the example of modifications for the 2022 release:
| Modification | Basic size | Replacement options |
| 2190 Sedan/1.6 16V | R14 175/65 | R14 185/60R15 195/50 and 185/55 |
| 2190 Sedan/1.6 8V | R14 175/65 | No options |
| 2190 Sedan/1.6 16V Sport | R15 185/55 | R15 195/50R16 195/50 |
| 2191 Liftback/1.6 16V | R14 175/65 | R14 185/60R15 185/55 |
| 2191 Liftback/1.6 8V | R14 175/65 | R14 185/60R15 185/55 |
Tire pressure
We found out which tires are suitable for the Lada Granta - now we’ll figure out the pressure. A lot depends on it during the operation of tires, the purchase of which is one of the sources of expense for any car owner. The pressure must be constantly monitored to ensure that the tires do not wear out too quickly.
Premature wear occurs when there is insufficient pressure, but over-pumping is also fraught with consequences.
- If the pressure is regularly lowered by 0.5 Atm less than the norm for 14 radius of 1.9 Atm in the front, and 2.0 Atm in the rear, the tires will last 4 times less - plus fuel consumption increases.
- With an even greater lack of pressure, the car may lose control and the braking distance increases.
- If you drive for a long time on half-flat tires and then inflate them, the tire may simply explode.
Therefore, you need to have a pressure gauge on hand, take measurements from time to time (especially in winter), and if you need to pump up the wheels. The front and rear pair of tires should have the same pressure.
Specific indicators depend on the wheel size. Take, for example, the 195/50 profile, which is one of the replacement options for the LADA Sedan Sport. If this is a radius of 15, then the optimal pressure is 2.3 Atm, and at radius 16 you need to pump 2.4 Atm.
Selection of tires by model
Knowing the size of the “shoes”, all that remains is to choose the style. Any car should have two sets of tires: winter and summer. Winter tires are installed without waiting for frost, but when the thermometer regularly drops below +5 degrees.
To save on the purchase of winter tires, some drivers make the mistaken decision to drive all-season tires. Therefore, we will make a small digression and explain why this should not be done.
When and what tires are needed for a car?
Let’s say right away that there are no tires that behave stably in any conditions. Why then is the tire called all-season? Because of the tread, which must have a deep relief and grooves through which water, dirt, and slush can easily pass.
All-season tires are tires that are comfortable to drive in the off-season, when the air temperature varies from +7 to -10 degrees. It is often marked M+S (mud/snow), which confuses many.
But in fact, an all-season tire is a summer tire and is not suitable for year-round driving, even in the southern regions of the country.
- All mud tires, and all winter tires, have an all-season tread. The only difference is in the rubber composition, which is designed for positive or negative wheel operation. On a winter tire, for better grip on icy roads, many thread-like sipes are made, which distinguishes it from all-season tires.
- Studless winter tires are popularly called Velcro. On such tires, the car feels great in icy conditions, but when the temperature outside is consistently positive (above +6-7 degrees), it must be changed to summer shoes.
- Winter tires are much softer, so if you try to drive them in the summer, they will wear out quickly. Studded tires are better suited for driving on snow, so when in winter you have to drive not on cleared asphalt, but on a country road, it is better to give preference to studded tires.
- All year round, all-season vehicles are driven mainly by trucks and buses, on which changing wheels is a labor-intensive process, and besides, there are usually more than four of them. True, in severe frosts and snowfalls they have a hard time riding on such tires.
And another important factor is for those who spend a lot of time driving. A tire for winter use is much softer than a summer one, but it is also noisy when driving, especially the studded one.
The summer one, and it is also an all-season one, in severe frosts “steals” and just rattles. And this is not to mention the fact that you will not so much ride on the ice as perform figure skating.
Viatti Brina Nordico
A relatively new model, developed by the German Continental together with Italian engineers, and put into production at the facilities of the Nizhnekamsk tire plant.
An asymmetrical tread pattern, a combination of middle blocks with rows of studs along the edges and variable sidewall stiffness technology ensure safe movement and stability when cornering and when crossing uneven roads.
Toyo Observe Garit G3-Ice
Winter tires from the Japanese Toyo are deservedly considered one of the best. If previously only sellers and those who drove it knew about this, then a test carried out at the test site not so long ago left no doubt.
Observe Garit G3-Ice tires competed with the Finnish Hakkapeliitta-7, slightly inferior to it in snowy areas and taking the lead on the compacted track. Experts believe that the whole point is in the studs, which protrude beyond the surface of the tire by 1.2 mm more than normal.
Goodyear UltraGrip 600
Another new product. Atypical tread pattern - as is the case with all Goodyear models. Looking at it, you get the impression that a solid wheel is simply cut into grooves. They provide the tire with excellent handling in loose snow.
Another distinctive feature is the hexagon-shaped studs, which make it possible to quickly accelerate and brake safely.
Hankook W429 i Pike
Winter studded tires of different generations from the Korean manufacturer Hankook have long established themselves as an excellent combination of price and quality. The latest model has been slightly redesigned; the shape of some tread elements has slightly changed, although the symmetry of the pattern and directionality have been preserved.
Massive blocks on the sides replaced narrow ribs, and the tire began to work better in icy conditions.
Bridgestone Ecopia EP150
The tread of this Japanese tire is developed using a new technology (NANO-PROTECH), which makes it possible to reduce the coefficient of rotational resistance and, as a result, save fuel consumption. Plus, the EP150 turned out to be lighter in weight and almost silent.
Nitto NT860
Another Japanese tire produced in Malaysia. Very soft rubber, perfectly balanced and brakes, thanks to the deep tread, self-cleaning from dirt and snow. With all this, the best thing is the low price.
Kormoran Impulser B2
Serbian Kormoran was developed using Michelin technology. The tire is stable when driving at speed, does not “float” if it gets into a puddle, has excellent grip on the road and is controlled when cornering.
Matador MP 47 Hectorra
- The new generation summer tire from Slovenia MP-47 Hectorra performs excellently on both dry and wet surfaces thanks to its asymmetrical pattern with four deep longitudinal grooves.
- Tread elements are optimized to the maximum, which improves acceleration and braking efforts and reduces noise levels.
- Conclusion
Which winter tires are best for a car, or what to put on it for the summer, is, of course, up to the owner to decide. It all depends on what climate zone you have to use the car and what roads you drive on.
And our information is designed to understand the characteristics of certain models and the advisability of their use.

Standard Lada Granta wheel sizes
Depending on the vehicle's configuration, it may use tires and wheels of different diameters and widths. The year of manufacture of the car also plays an important role.
The first generation of Lada Granta was equipped with wheels with the following parameters:
| Equipment | Tire size | Disc offset |
| Standard | 175/70R13 or 175/65R14 | 35 |
| Norm | 185/60R14 | 35 |
| Lux | 185/55R15 | 35 |
| Sport | 195/50R16 | 35 |
Many people mistakenly perceive the letter R as a “radius”, but in fact, it only means the structure of the tire – radial. The numbers after the letter R are the diameter of the disc in inches.
Since 2022, the configurations have changed slightly. Now tires and wheels are installed in the following sizes:
| Equipment | Tire sizes | Disc offset |
| Standard | 175/65R14 | 35 |
| Norm | 185/60R14 | 35 |
| Lux | 185/55R15 | 35 |
| Cross | 195/55R15 | 33 |
These are all the standard sizes of tires and wheels that are installed on the Lada Granta from the factory.
