Wheel bolt pattern Lada Kalina Cross 1.6i (2014-2018)


Reading time: 7 minutes

Lada Kalina is the first car of the Russian concern AvtoVAZ, produced in 2 generations over 14 years, from 2004 to 2022, and had an appearance close to Western competitors in this class of compact cars. In terms of the cost of the basic equipment, Kalina was always ahead of its European competitors. The high reliability of this Lada made it possible to operate it for 8-10 years, which led to the need to replace worn parts, and the main ones were always the wheels.

Pirelli formula energy

Usually, Pirelli tires for domestic cars are not purchased because of their price, but this model is a budget model in the company’s line.

It has an asymmetrical tread with 2 central ribs. The blocks have different configurations and sizes; there are large checkers in the shoulder areas. All this guarantees excellent grip both on a straight line and in corners. The presence of 3 longitudinal grooves prevents hydroplaning.

The background noise of these summer tires for Kalina is reduced. The weight of the tire itself has also been reduced by 10%.

Price – 2,600 rub.

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The Lada Kalina Cross 2022 1.6i is equipped with 6Jx15 ET33 wheel rims and 195/55 R15 85H tires as standard. 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.

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 Kalina 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.

Choosing the type of winter tires

For winter operation of the Lada Kalina Cross in urban environments, where transport routes are regularly cleaned by public utilities, a suitable option would be to use friction winter tires (“Velcro”). Such wheels provide reliable grip on the road surface due to the presence of thin cross-sections - lamellas.

Friction winter tires are lighter and more durable than studded tires, have lower rolling resistance and uniform grip characteristics on all types of road surfaces.

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.

The minimum wheel diameter for the entire range of models is: 487-495 (mm).

  • Wheel width in standard condition without load (B): from 125-135 to 345-364;
  • Full diameter (D): from 487-495 to 970-977 (mm);
  • Circumference (L): from 1541 to 3070 (mm);

In most cases, wheel fasteners have metric threads with fine pitch (M12x1.25/M12x1.5/M14x1.25/M14x1.5), which should match the threads of the studs or threaded holes in the wheel hub.

Important: the wheel is attached to the wheel hub using threaded connections; depending on the modification of the vehicle, the developer uses bolts or studs with nuts.

Lada Kalina Cross is an off-road version of the “B” class station wagon.

Important: years of production of all modifications of the model: 2004-2018.

Properly selected tires can make your car more manageable and avoid premature tread wear. The manufacturer places information about the recommended characteristics directly on the car - a special metal plate contains data on wheel diameter, pressure, tire size. The use of recommended tires on the Lada Kalina ensures stable behavior of the car on the road.

Disk size

There are two options for installing disks on the Lada Kalina according to the technical documentation:

Wheel rim 5.5*14*98

Standard rim R15

Appearance on 15th wheels

To install other discs, you will have to replace some suspension and control parts.

Bolt pattern and possible options

Bolt pattern is the fastening of the wheel to the hub using bolts or special studs. Simply put, this is the size of a car's "shoe."

Wheel rim for Kalina with bolt pattern 4*98

For all generations of Lada Kalina, the bolt pattern is standard 4x98, although there were experiments when some cars came off the assembly line with a non-standard parameter - 4x100.

What tire sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The manufacturer recommends different tire sizes and wheel diameters - it is necessary to take into account the modification and filling of the car. The type of body on which the installation is carried out is also important.

For cars with the “standard” and “norm” configurations when using standard 5 1/2J wheels, the manufacturer recommends using the following tire models:

  • 175/65R14 with a speed index of 82H;
  • 185/60R14 with a speed index of 82H.

Regardless of the rim width used, the rim offset must be 35 mm. For luxury vehicles, the following types of tires are used:

It should be noted that the rim width for the “luxury” configuration may differ. Modifications with 5 ½ J and 6J are presented. It is worth noting: the listed standards apply to modifications 2192, 2194 (hatchback, station wagon).

The body design and chassis of the Cross 2194 Lada Kalina are significantly different. The manufacturer installs 15-inch diameter tires on this model with a wheel width of 195 mm and a tread height of 55 mm. The speed index is 85H, the rim width is 6J. Rim offset, ET – 33 mm. The manufacturer installs only radial tires.

Owners should remember: cars of even the same year of manufacture can be equipped with tires of different brands from the factory.

The reason for this is the change in the cost of wheels throughout the year. The car plant purchases a large batch at once. After the stock runs out, the plant purchases new tires. Moreover, the dimension remains the same. However, the manufacturer may vary.

Also a separate category is the Kalina Sport modification. The factory installs wheels with the following overall dimensions on it:

  • 15 inches diameter: 185/55 mm; 195/50 mm;
  • 16 inches in diameter – 195/50 mm;
  • diameter 17 inches - 205/40 mm.

Alloy wheels Kalina 2

To visually understand how low-profile Kalina 2 tires change the appearance of the car, just look at the photo comparing R17 wheels with standard R14:

New Lada: High-voltage wires - replacement of Lada Kalina / Lada Kalina (VAZ 1118, 117, 1119)

However, it should be taken into account that after installing such large wheels, the ground clearance of Kalina 2 will increase from 160mm to 175mm, and the car will be raised. Therefore, along with installing low-profile tires, you need to think about proper lowering (author): Photos of the car on different wheels (for comparison). Black wheels R14 for Kalina 2 (author): Wheels R15 for Kalina 2 (author): Wheels R16 for Kalina 2 (tires 195/45) (author): Wheels R17 for Kalina 2 (wheel width 7 and offset 38, tires 205/ 40). According to the author: “surprisingly, it doesn’t touch anything anywhere; when you turn the steering wheel completely, it seems to catch, but almost not.”

By the way, do you know how to properly lower Kalina 2?

What non-standard sizes can be supplied?

Many Lada Kalina car owners want to make the design of their cars more presentable by installing wheels of non-standard width and diameter. The manufacturer allows the installation of wheels with non-standard sizes on the car:

When choosing new wheels, it is important to keep the rim width in mind. It is advisable to purchase only tires recommended by AvtoVAZ. It is important to remember that tire size affects handling. For example, when increasing the bus:

  • the car behaves more stable on the road;
  • controllability improves;
  • The car turns easier.

Simultaneously with the increase in wheel width, the tread begins to drain water from the contact patch worse. As a result, the car handles much worse and other problems arise. Comfort on uneven roads also deteriorates when using low-profile tires. Since low height leads to constant shock to the suspension.

Factory recommendations for choosing tires and wheels

The behavior of a car on the road is largely determined by the characteristics of the wheels installed on it, especially the tires.

The answer to the question regarding the equipment of the Lada Kalina: which wheels are suitable can be found in the manufacturer's instructions. The factory documentation for Lada Kalina indicates three types of tires recommended for installation:

  • one of the popular options, also installed on classics, is 175/70R13 tires;
  • the most common tire size today is 175/65R14;
  • another standard option is 185/65R15.

The plant also allows the Lada Kalina to be equipped with 185/60R14 and 185/55 R15 tires.

What size tires are Lada Kalina Cross? It is recommended to install tires with overall dimensions of 195/55R15 on this model.

For the Lada Kalina Sport car, the factory has established its own standards:

An important question regarding the Lada Kalina: which wheels are suitable? Lada Kalina cars are factory equipped with steel wheels with a diameter of 13 or 14 inches, aluminum wheels 14″ or (sports version) wheels with alloy wheels 15 inches.

What is the tire pressure

Tire pressure must be monitored - and for different modifications of cars, depending on the load, this parameter can vary significantly. The pressure is also different for the front and rear axles.

The current pressure in the wheel can be measured using a pressure gauge - a special device. There are 3 different states of wheels on a Lada Kalina car:

  • low – wide rubber contact patch, the disc can come into contact with the ground;
  • overestimated – reduced contact patch with the road surface, the central part of the tread wears down an order of magnitude faster;
  • normal pressure - the contact patch between the rubber and the road is normal, the tire wears evenly.

Comfortable and safe driving is possible at nominal pressure. The tire pressure ratings are indicated on a special plate attached to the door pillar. There are also other important data - wheel and tire sizes. This parameter differs slightly depending on the degree of load on the wheels.

For example, for tires 185/65 R14 86N the nominal values ​​are as follows:

  • partial load – 0.2 MPa;
  • full load – 0.2 MPa.

For rubber of the same diameter and similar parameters, but with a 6.0 J 14H2 disc, the nominal pressure is the same - 0.2 MPa. Too low a pressure will cause the tread to wear unevenly across the center of the wheel. The nominal pressure parameters are identical for winter and summer tires.

Car modifications

Lada Kalina was produced for 14 years. The manufacturer offered the consumer two generations of small class cars.

The debut car of the Kalina family appeared at AvtoVAZ in 2004. It was released as a sedan. The first generation cars were equipped with 1.4 liter (89 hp) and 1.6 liter (81 and 98 hp) petrol engines. In 2006, Kalina hatchbacks appeared, the next year - station wagons, and a year later - a sports modification. Depending on the configuration, the car was equipped with ABS, electronic power steering, airbags, and an air conditioning system. During production, changes were constantly made to the equipment of the vehicle. In 2009 and 2011, Lada Kalina became one of the best-selling brands in the country.

Second generation

In 2013, the plant's conveyor belt was modernized to begin production of the next generation of cars. LADA Kalina 2 was produced in hatchback and station wagon bodies. It is characterized by a more modern appearance, better aerodynamics and increased comfort. Improved powertrain, suspension and gearbox are distinctive features of the vehicle compared to previous generation models. Both hatchbacks and station wagons were equipped with 1.6 liter engines with variable intake, the power of which varied between 87...106 hp. A manual or automatic transmission was installed.

The maximum configuration included the installation of anti-lock systems, stability control, air conditioning and navigation, a traction control module, an after-braking system, a passenger airbag, a touch screen, heated front seats, a rain sensor, etc.

The latest modification of the Kalina family is the Lada Kalina Cross. It is distinguished by increased ground clearance, a modified final drive ratio and a more aesthetic appearance, for example, due to decorative trims on the wheel arches and sills.

In 2022, production of Kalina family cars was discontinued.

Review of the best summer and winter tires

The best solution is to purchase separate sets of wheels for summer and winter. Since the rubber composition differs significantly.

If you have a limited budget, a good solution would be to buy TUNGA ZODIAK 2. This modification of wheels was released in mid-2017. It was originally designed for difficult operating conditions - in Russia. The protector has 2 main layers. The outer layer has a special composition; there are as many as 3 stiffening ribs. The cost of 1 cylinder is from 1,800 rubles.

DUNLOP SP TOURING has several important advantages over its analogues: rigid shoulder areas, good response to the steering wheel, 4 drainage channels. The presence of innovative polymer materials in the rubber composition makes it extremely resistant to wear. Price for 1 cylinder – from 2,400 rubles.

CORDIANT SPORT 2 PS501 is a good choice for those who actively drive their car and drive fast. There is a two-layer tread and a wheel wear indicator. The special shape of the breaker prevents rapid wear of the rubber. The cost of 1 cylinder is 2,100 rubles.

PIRELLI FORMULA ENERGY is a relatively inexpensive modification. Typically, all models of this brand are relatively expensive. However, Energy will cost only 2,600 rubles per cylinder. The asymmetrical tread is equipped with a pair of stiffening ribs. This allows the car to be more stable on the road.

KUMHO KH27 ECOWING ES01 – Korean tires from a fairly well-known brand. However, the cost of such a modification is relatively low. This model provides good acceleration and comfortable control.

A good, relatively inexpensive solution for winter would be BFGoodrich G-grip 175/65 R14 86T XL. Drainage ditches perfectly drain water. This ensures resistance to hydroplaning. The geometry of the blocks makes the wheels safe even on sharp turns.

Sava Perfecta 175/65 R14 82T is one of the most inexpensive winter tire models. There are no thorns on it. However, this does not prevent it from creating good contact with the road in winter. But on the highway you shouldn't accelerate too much. The cost of one cylinder will be 2,300 rubles.

Tigar Sigura 185/60 has a relatively rigid design. That’s why it handles difficult turns well. The presence of drainage gutters allows you to quickly remove water from the contact patch between the wheel and the road.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is an excellent solution for any region. However, the cost of such a model is more than 4 thousand rubles.

The best solution is to use tires that meet the recommended specifications. This will avoid standard problems.

Kumho kh27 ecowing es01

These are Korean tires from a prestigious brand, but in the budget segment.

Good acceleration, maneuvering and braking are guaranteed due to the symmetrical tread, both on dry and wet asphalt.

Even in the case of significant wear, the tires effectively prevent hydroplaning.

Uniform abrasion is ensured by the wide and flat design.

Longitudinal blocks in the projector, along with interspersed deep grooves, improve handling and enhance ride comfort. And background noise is reduced by thoughtful placement of ribs and blocks.

Price – 2,600 rub.
