January 29, 2015 Lada.Online 440 257 99

The size of tires and wheels not only adds style to the car, but also greatly influences the vehicle's performance on the road. Each manufacturer indicates acceptable standard sizes, and AVTOVAZ is no exception. In this review, we will look at the wheel size of the Lada Largus.

Usually, the manufacturer, depending on the modification of the car, indicates several acceptable wheel sizes, Lada Largus is an exception. The instruction manual indicates the only wheel size for all trim levels: 185/65R15 . Lada Largus wheel parameters: 6Jx15, offset (ET) for R15 = ET50. Wheel hub bolt pattern 4x100. Everyone knows that the Lada Largus is a 2006 Dacia Logan MCV adapted for the Russian market. The technical characteristics of the foreign car indicate exactly the same wheel size.

Based on reviews and surveys of Lada Largus car owners, we can summarize:

1. The most popular tire size with a diameter of 14 inches turned out to be 185/70R14 , by the way, it is indicated in the table with tire pressure. Another less popular option is 165/80R14.
2. The majority use the standard wheel size 185/65R15 . Another popular size of the same radius is 195/65R15 . A few installed 205/60R15 and 195/60R15 tires on their cars.
3. Fans of larger wheels install tires: 205/55 R16 , 195/60 R16 and 195/55 R16.
4. R17 wheels: 205/50R17 , 205/45R17, 225/45R17 or 215/50R17.
5. Exclusive sizes: 215/35R18 and 215/40/18.

R is not a radius, but a designation of the radius of the tire, and the number is the diameter of the rim in inches. The most popular wheel sizes are shown in bold.

When choosing wheels, you should take into account the full diameter of the wheel; it should not differ much from the standard one. Compatibility table:

Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.

Don't forget about the rim width:

Standard wheel sizes for Lada Largus

Before talking about what wheels can be installed on the Lada Largus, it is necessary to study what sizes are used in standard tires and wheels. All parameters are shown in the table below:

As can be seen from the table, the wheel parameters on the latest Largus models are almost the same, with the exception of the Cross configuration, where it was necessary to increase the vehicle's ground clearance.

On older models, when they had just appeared on the Lada assembly line, wheels with an even smaller diameter were used - 185/70R14. It is the most popular due to its availability, since its price is significantly lower than the others.

Is it possible to install non-standard wheels with standard 15-inch ones?

Many drivers still have 14-inch wheels from their previous cars. They want to install them instead of the required standard 15-inch ones to save money. Moreover, stamping is heavy, but these seem practical in winter.

When installing non-standard parts, problems arise in the caliper bracket, which protrudes strongly relative to the plane of contact with the hub.

There is no gap when installing 14-inch wheels; When the nuts are tightened, the disc does not spin. The non-standard 15-inch ones also do not spin, but rub against the protruding bracket. And 16-inch ones create the necessary gap.

There are products with a shorter offset; when they are installed, the wheels will be positioned wider, this will lead to a change in the load on the bearings, and road dirt will fly onto the side of the car. If you put 6.5-inch wheels with an offset of 45 on a car, the wheel will hit. If there is a warranty on the car, certified K&K products are recommended.

So, of course, you can save money and install non-standard, non-original parts, but in this case the driving performance of the car is lost

When purchasing original spare parts, when deciding which wheels are suitable for Largus, you also need to pay attention to the diameter, width, choosing the most suitable option, taking into account the pros and cons of each type

Permissible maximum tire and wheel sizes for Lada Largus

Here everything is limited only by the imagination of the car owner. However, the maximum wheel sizes at which the vehicle will be safe to operate are determined by the manufacturer, who also supplies such wheels from the factory.

That is, the largest wheel size that can be installed on Largus is 205/55 R16. If we move further, the car will require changes in design.

The fact is that the larger the disk or tire, the higher the likelihood that it will touch the fender liner or arch of the Lada Largus. Therefore, car owners resort to tricks for the sake of large rims - they reduce the tire profile.

As a result, the list of sizes is replenished with the following:

• 205/50 R17;
• 205/45 R17;
• 225/45 R17;
• 215/50 R17;
• 215/35 R18;
• 215/40 R18.

For off-road enthusiasts, it is recommended to increase not the diameter of the disk, but the rubber profile. To do this, it is more advisable to install wheels with the following parameters:

• 205/55 R16;
• 195/60 R16;
• 195/55 R16.

The larger profile allows you to move more comfortably over uneven surfaces and protects the disc from dents or cracks.

As the wheel size increases, its weight increases. The weight can negatively affect the car’s suspension components and also reduce the life of the hub unit!

Weight matters

A car disk is a simple flywheel mounted on a hub. To set it in motion, you need to expend a certain amount of energy, the source of which is fuel. And the greater the mass of the wheel, the more fuel will be required to spin it. But it is much more difficult to stop the wheel when its rotation speed is very high. At that moment, a very large load is placed on the braking system. Therefore, not only the comfort and controllability of the car, but also the safety of passengers in the cabin depends on the quality of the disc and the materials used to make it.

Modern wheels are made of steel and various light alloys, which give them a number of advantages:

1. Welded steel disc. This is a familiar stamped version that boasts a low price and durability. It is these discs that have the heaviest weight, are easily deformed and are more susceptible to corrosion than others. But with all their shortcomings, they are not so bad - if after falling into a hole the disk is dented, this can be quickly corrected at a service station.
2. Alloy wheels (cast and forged). They have much lighter weight, high anti-corrosion and strength properties and many design solutions. But they are already much more expensive. When subjected to strong impacts, alloy wheels do not bend like steel wheels, but rather crack. Forged ones can withstand the strongest blows and are practically impossible to bend.

How to choose wheels and tires for Largus based on price and quality

The main factors that influence the choice of wheels for Lada Largus are:

• price;
• quality;
• dimension.

The quality and size of the wheels can affect the price: the larger the size and the better the quality of the tire, the more expensive it is. At the same time, there is no point in overpaying for high quality and increased speed ratings in tires that will be installed on a car with a not very powerful engine.

In simple terms, for the Lada Largus you can use budget tires that will provide passable handling on any surface. Examples are given in the table:

As for the wheels, it all depends on the taste of the car enthusiast. There is a wide choice, but you need to keep in mind that the cheapest ones are stamped and Chinese. The latter are not suitable for driving on bad roads and at high speeds.

The quality of wheels from the Celestial Empire comes down to the fact that the probability of getting a crack or a dent in an unfortunate hole increases to 80%. In this case, the disk can be bought for 5-6 thousand apiece.

Stamped wheels for Lada Largus are the heaviest, but at the same time remain the lowest in price - about 2-5 thousand rubles per product. Finding a replacement for a wrinkled stamped disk is much easier than finding a replacement for a product from a well-known manufacturer, for example, BBS or Borbet. Therefore, they are ideal for active use on bad roads, but do not add aesthetics to the car.

There is no point in installing expensive wheels at a price of 15 thousand and above on the Lada Largus. They can be damaged quickly on Russian roads, so car enthusiasts often use them for exhibitions to make the car more attractive and expensive.

Options

Recommended size of wheels and tires for Lada Largus
The AvtoVAZ concern added the prefix Cross to the model name for a reason. It is understood that the model has increased off-road capabilities.

The car's ground clearance was increased and the base wheels were installed a size larger than those of the base model. There are no options for replacing R16 disks with others.

The parameters of the basic wheel rims are as follows:

• drilling parameter is 4×100;
• wheel width - 7.0 J;
• disc offset is ET 40;
• centering hole size - 60.1.

Knowing all the various methods for producing wheel rims and their advantages, you can choose a set of quality products for Lada Largus. In order for the disc to fit perfectly, you also need to know the basic parameters and dimensions of the mounts.

Is it possible to increase the track on Largus

To install wide tires and not damage the fender liners, you will have to install spacers that increase the wheel track. This achieves two effects at once:

1. The car owner receives the desired wheel width.
2. Improves vehicle stability during high-speed maneuvers.

But there are also negative aspects - an increase in the track contributes to faster wear of the wheel bearings. As the length of the hub assembly increases, the pressure on the bearing increases. Because of this, it will fail ahead of schedule.

For this reason, increasing the track on the Lada Largus is not recommended.

Which summer tires are best for Largus Cross cars?

None When choosing, the speed and weight index, brand and tread pattern are taken into account. The production date of the products plays an important role - if they were made more than 5 years ago, it is better to refuse such a purchase.

The pattern is divided into two types: asymmetrical, directional and symmetrical. The last option is considered the most popular. Since the symmetrical pattern is suitable for most cars.

This option is considered as the most convenient for moving around the city. The main reason for choosing this pattern is low cost.

The directional tread pattern allows car owners to drive off-road, providing ideal directional stability and handling. Unfortunately, there is some noise when driving off-road. The asymmetrical pattern has better characteristics.

This option helps ensure ideal directional stability and reduce the risk of aquaplaning. These products have a high price.

When replacing wheel structures, it is necessary to select standard models. When installing large components, you will have to choose the appropriate tires with a low profile. To move on a flat road, it is better to use low-profile tires. This tire improves dynamic performance and handling.

Recommended tire pressure for Lada Largus

The life of tires and wheels is affected not only by driving style, but also by tire pressure. In addition, this parameter affects the machine’s controllability and traffic safety. Tire pressure must correspond to the figures stated by the manufacturer.

To avoid accidents and preserve the life of tires, it is recommended to maintain pressure at the following level:

• front wheels – 2.4 Bar;
• rear wheels – 2.6 Bar;

The slightly overestimated parameters on the rear axle are explained by the fact that Largus can be used as a station wagon or a van, and therefore the rear of the car is always loaded. In this regard, the tire pressure at the rear should be slightly higher than at the front in order to maintain handling at the desired level.
