Wheels on LADA Vesta Cross are not so subject to replacement by car owners. Vesta is presented as a family car, from which good handling and cross-country ability are expected. Since this model is still young in the Lada line, changing discs on it is quite a rare occurrence.
AvtoVAZ equips Vesta with wheels ranging from R15 to R17, depending on the configuration. These discs are quite high quality and will undoubtedly last a long time. Their appearance also cannot be called unsatisfactory, since the alloy wheels on it are installed in the factory version and have a good design that perfectly complements the massive appearance of the car itself.
Lada Vesta SV Cross is produced with two different engine sizes. The power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters is less powerful; the second - with a volume of 1.8 liters, which increases the acceleration dynamics and the overall speed of the car.
Cars with different engines have slightly different wheels, which ensures overall suspension strength. After all, the workload of all car systems, from the engine to the brake system, depends on the discs.

If you are going to buy winter tires for your Lada Vesta, then try to choose narrower tires.
These tires will create more pressure on the road surface and improve traction. Remember that wide tires are more sensitive to ruts in winter. And low-profile tires make the ride less comfortable, because... transfer even the smallest holes to the body. The smaller the unsprung mass (this includes the mass of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.
Attention! Installing larger wheels may lead to problems with ABS and ESP calibration (the systems may not work correctly).

Why you should look for alternative options
Many car enthusiasts have problems when purchasing winter tires and wheels. AvtoVAZ installed a “non-standard” wheel with a 43 offset in its cross-country model.
If you replace it, the warranty on the car will expire. However, replacing an official wheel costs about 8 thousand rubles. Labor to replace the wheel may add to the cost.
Without listening to manufacturers, car owners install wheels with a 15 and 16 inch radius on their cars, since official wheels cost 2-3 times more.
Basic dimensions of wheel bolts on Lada vesta:
As a standard, Lada Vesta is equipped with bolts with metric threads, diameter 12 (mm), thread pitch - 1.5 (inches) and radius between bolts 100 (mm).
Characteristics of Lada Vesta wheel bolts:
- External thread diameter: 12 (mm);
- Thread pitch: 1.5 (inch);
- Number of bolts: 4 (pcs);
- Radius between bolts: 100 (mm);
- Disc offset: 60.1 (mm).
Important: the number of revolutions when tightening the disc bolts should not be less than 7-9. If the speed is lower, the risk of losing a wheel while driving increases.
Years of release: currently in production.

Hello, my dear reader!
I decided to protect the wheels from freebie lovers. The most accurate option is “secrets”. Previously, I only dealt with nuts, but suddenly there are bolts! But what kind of bolts are needed for Vesta? M12 x 1.5. They fit perfectly. Detailed parameters in the photo.
It's starting to get warmer outside, and you need to change your tires from winter to summer. As a rule, I change the whole thing - wheels, winter tires on original stamps, summer tires (original Pirelli) on Chinese-made NZ alloy wheels - 15 in diameter. Vesta inherited 4 bolts M12x1.5 from Renault, but Renault was equipped with 14 in diameter, and Vesta uses tires from 15 to 17.
For such dimensions, I think 4 bolts are not enough, or right next to each other - competitors use five fastening points. I rolled summer tires on alloy wheels for the 2nd season using the original bolts, unscrewing them in the fall and counted the number of threads on which they are held, the result did not suit me, the front wheels were held by about 4.
5 turns, rear - approximately 8.5. The number of turns on the front ones turned out to be less due to grooves in the brake discs, and I consider it insufficient. It was decided that the bolts should be selected longer - taking into account the thread pitch of 1.5 and the length of the standard ones (24mm), I decided that at least 7 turns would be enough, so I chose a thread length of 28 mm. The Chinese “Wheel Fasteners”, “Matrix” and the Italian “Bimecc” turned out to be available for order, so I settled on it,
its catalog number is C17A28. (I love Italian things). As a result, it turned out that the front wheels are screwed on with at least 7.5 turns, the rear wheels with about 12 turns. I was afraid that the bolts would touch something because of their length, but everything is fine, they don’t interfere with anything or touch anything.
I cover the bolt caps with caps with catalog number 321601173A, which were purchased inexpensively on AliExpress (the search engine finds them in AliExpress by number), and the emblem of the central wheel cap NZ was also replaced using a Lada sticker.

Lada Vesta left the assembly line in 2022. Belongs to the class of domestically produced sedans. This is where the general ends, and the specific features begin.
Alloy wheels and their parameters - everything you need to know
When purchasing 15, 16 or 17 inch wheels for your car, don’t expect them to last forever - they won’t. In time, the question of replacement will arise. Russian roads force even expensive wheels to break quickly. Some drivers are not satisfied with the parameters of the wheels or tires, so they change them.
If the time for replacement has come, many parameters must be taken into account. These are wheel size, rim type, rim offset (ET), wheel bolt pattern, diameter and other parameters. Products with the following technical data are suitable:
- casting with wheel size 175/70/R16 or 205/60/R16;
- alloy wheels 175/55/R17 and 195/50/R;
- for the Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon, 18-inch wheels are needed;
- tires are used exclusively on 16 and 17 inches.
AvtoVAZ uses a number of wheels produced by K&K. If you take them, drilling, bolt patterns and other parameters will converge. A good option would be to install r16 and 17 Phoenix wheels.
The plant recommends choosing narrow winter tires for the Lada Vesta. This is necessary to increase stability when driving on slippery roads in sub-zero conditions.
Before purchasing wheels, pay attention to the bolt pattern. On the Lada Vesta it has changed somewhat; not all wheels will be compatible with it. The rims are secured with 4 bolts, the diameter of the mounting holes is 100 mm. The wheels of Korean cars have similar characteristics.
We do not recommend installing wheels with a significantly larger diameter. This will make driving less comfortable. It will be less resistant to driving on uneven roads.

Decoding tire markings
However, not everyone finds it easy to understand the large number of parameters with which tires are marked.
As a rule, when choosing tires, buyers focus only on the diameter, width of the rubber profile and height, after which the speed and load capacity index are selected.
Now let’s look at what this or that inscription on car tires means. Let's do this using the example of a tire marked 195/65 R15 91 T XL. In this case, the manufacturer and the specific model are not important, we are only interested in the marking itself.
The first number in the marking always indicates the width of the tire in millimeters. The sample in question has a diameter of 195 mm.
The next number is the tire height. 65 is the percentage of height to width. With simple steps we get approximately 127 mm (65% of 195).
Next comes the English letter R. Contrary to the opinions of many car owners, it does not mean the size, that is, the radius, of the tire, but denotes the tire manufacturing technology. R - radial cord. All types of tires for cars are produced using this technology.
To be fair, it is worth noting one more meaning of the designation of the letter R, but not independently, but in tandem with the number following it (in the example - 15). This marking indicates the inner diameter of the tire and, accordingly, the diameter of the rim to which it fits.
Let's go further and see the number 91. This is the same tire load index. The tables below will show the values of the indices and the corresponding values of the maximum loads in kilograms. In our case, the maximum load is 615 kg. For the most part, car owners do not pay much attention to these indicators, since these are not critical values for passenger cars. These numbers are much more important for trucks.
Next is the letter T, indicating the speed index. Simply put, this parameter indicates the maximum speed of the vehicle on which certain tires are installed. Let's turn our attention to the table above again, but this time at number two. In it you can see that the speed index under the letter T is 190 km/h.
How to choose stamped products
Wheel rims produced by stamping are among the most common for Vesta, installed at the factory. This is due to the low cost of production, since the material is ordinary steel.
When it comes to design, these wheels are the least attractive. Very often, car owners cover them with plastic caps to give the car a more attractive appearance.
All products produced by stamping are similar. They differ only in size and bolt pattern parameters. They may have different diameters of holes for the hubs. For Vesta, it is recommended to purchase such models with a radius of 15 inches. This is the most optimal size for this car, as it does not degrade factory characteristics.
However, they have many positive aspects:
- Greater strength compared to casting and forging.
- Better shock tolerance.
- Lower cost.
- More convenient and cheaper repairs.
The basic Lada Vesta has factory-installed wheels with a radius of R15 with tires that have the characteristics of 175/70 R15. Drilling or bolting parameters are the same for all types of products, both stamped and cast.
"Lada Vesta" with stamped wheels
Wheels for cars
Lada Vesta Cross SW debuted in the manufacturer’s lineup relatively recently. Excellent design and execution immediately made the car quite popular. And adding ease of maintenance and operation, you get an excellent family car.
Original alloy wheels "Vesta Cross"
The great popularity and prevalence of the car became possible with the advent of many different accessories, parts and spare parts for it. This list also includes tires and wheels. Inexpensive configurations have steel wheels produced by stamping. This is the most inexpensive solution.
Expensive and richly equipped versions are equipped with large rims, various shapes and colors. If desired, you can personalize the car by installing wheels of a special design from a variety of represented manufacturers. This happens when the season changes or the original simply wears out.
There are a large number of wheel rims on the market, which in terms of parameters and dimensions are suitable for installation on a car. These can be very well-known and high-quality products from well-known brands or less expensive, simpler ones. There are replica models that people prefer to buy to save money.
Careful adherence to the manufacturer's recommended dimensions when selecting wheels is required. Car owners who prefer products with a large radius should be especially careful, since exceeding them can be fraught with breakdowns and increased wear of the car.
If, for various reasons, the car owner is faced with the question of replacing wheels, then for Vesta Cross it is necessary to comply with all parameters in terms of width and diameter, offset and bolt pattern parameters. Products with the characteristics listed below will fully meet all requirements:
- Cast wheels with dimensions 175/70/R16 or 205/60/R16.
- Large products with dimensions 175/55/R17 and 195/50/R18.
- If the Vesta is SV Cross, then R18 wheels should be installed.
- signed an agreement with the wheel manufacturer K&K. The products of this manufacturer are presented specifically for Vesta and have all the same dimensions and parameters.
Experienced drivers recommend installing tires and wheels that have a minimum width and radius for the winter. This is due to the fact that such products have increased stability and less rutting in difficult weather conditions, be it ice or snow.
The AvtoVAZ concern has created a special drilling parameter for models of the Vesta family. He became similar to representatives of South Korean car manufacturers. This has expanded the choice of discs from those on the market.
As for tuning and installing very large wheels on a car, you should prepare for the fact that the manufacturer will void the warranty for such car enthusiasts. In addition, you will have to greatly sacrifice comfort for the sake of appearance and increased handling.
How to choose the right wheels for the Lada Vesta St. Cross 2022?
3 types of rims:
- 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.
Checklist of advantages of ART Motion tires
1. The car gains high controllability. Excellent driving characteristics are observed even on wet asphalt. This is achieved thanks to special arc-shaped grooves on the inside of the tire. This is a kind of drainage system for quickly removing water from under the wheel. 2. The outer part of the rubber contains special enlarged relief blocks. They are necessary to increase the stability of the car during drifts. 3. The tread pattern is designed to minimize noise while driving. 4. There are three longitudinal grooves on the tread; they are necessary for the directional stability of the car. 5. Tire pressure levels are maintained for a long time. 6. Due to low rolling resistance, fuel consumption is minimal, and the car accelerates faster. 7. Increased traction with the road is observed. Due to this, the braking distance is minimal and there is no slipping. 8. Despite the high quality, tires cost minimal money.
If you take the most expensive version of the Vesta car, it will have German Continental tires measuring 195/55/R16. This is one of the best solutions on the market today. At the same time, the optimal wheel size for the Lada Vesta is 16 inches.
As a result, the manufacturer equips the Lada Vesta with high-quality cast or stamped wheels. After replacement, it is important to install an equally high-quality option. Let's discuss the remaining opinions in the comments.
Which discs are better?
Class B and C cars often leave the factory on stamped wheels - at least in the basic configuration. They are cheaper, and the manufacturer, naturally, saves money - after all, on the scale of serial production, the difference in the finances spent on wheels becomes very significant.
However, steel, or as they are commonly called, iron disks, are cheaper not because they are inferior in performance - they are simply manufactured using cheaper technology and covered with paints and materials that are simpler in composition.
As for the mechanical properties of iron, they even have some advantages over casting. In particular, upon impact, the disk does not crack, but only crumples, which makes the product more repairable.
By and large, stampings have only one drawback - they do not look very presentable. To somehow improve it, you need to buy caps, the price of which varies between 400-700 rubles. a piece.
The result is almost the same as installing inexpensive castings, but if you already have steel wheels, then the option with hubcaps, of course, makes more sense.
The design of the alloy wheel and the cap may be the same, and at first glance you won’t even be able to tell what it is
The only problem is that the bolts securing the cap are unscrewed due to vibration, and it can easily get lost. The prospect of running around the shops in search of the same thing appeals to few people (and most often it is not possible to find a replacement at all).
That is why the vast majority of car enthusiasts still prefer alloy wheels. But what kind of choice there is in stores today, we will talk about this further.
Reality
Real life, as usual, has some differences. I called several official Lada dealers in Moscow and, introducing myself as the owner of a SW Cross station wagon, asked for advice on an alternative to the original 17-inch “shoes”. The answers were like carbon copies. The parts department managers saw no problem with installing 16-inch wheels and were willing to offer options.
When asked directly, “What about the guarantee?” were put out and switched to the appropriate specialist. And already from the warranty technician there was a predictable answer: the wheels will fit, but showing up with them at the service station will be a reason to refuse free suspension repairs. However, everyone made it clear that this would not necessarily happen. Would you take their word for it?
The paradox: with excellent geometric cross-country ability, good suspension and electronics tuning, the Vesta Cross is limited on bad asphalt and beyond by the size of the tires.
The paradox: with excellent geometric cross-country ability, good suspension and electronics tuning, the Vesta Cross is limited on bad asphalt and beyond by the size of the tires.
Of course, you can schedule maintenance trips during the season when your Vesta is wearing factory wheels. But the very fact that dealers match sizes that are not approved by the factory is outrageous. Someone will buy them without asking any questions! And then, to his surprise, the same technical center will receive a refusal of warranty.
What non-standard wheels will fit on the Lada Vesta
Although most car owners tend to enlarge their wheels to improve the appearance of the car, sometimes the opposite happens. For example, it is common practice to drive on larger diameter alloy wheels in the summer, and then take smaller wheels and a larger tire in the winter to make the car more controllable and softer on snowy roads.
New Lada: Recommended tire and wheel sizes for Lada Vesta » Page 27 » Lada.Online - all the most interesting and useful about LADA cars
As for the maximum diameter, the critical height of the wheel assembly for Vesta is 660 millimeters. Therefore, not only the original 17-inch wheels are installed on the car, but also wheels with tires with a diameter of 18 inches. In this case, the tires should be no larger than 225/45 R18, and for some car owners they already cling a little to the wheel arch liners.
True, on drive2 there is a case with installing 19-inch wheels, but this will require improvements in the suspension design. And in the case of installing 18-inch wheels, some tire sizes also allow you to lower the car, which many do.
Is it possible to reduce the offset and install wider wheels? Do not forget that the manufacturer already recommends installing 17-diameter tires on 6.5-inch wide wheels with an offset of 43. That is, there are not many options here. The maximum permissible width of wheels on Vesta is 8 inches with an offset of 38.
In this arrangement, the wheels practically do not stick out and do not touch the arches. Anything more requires modification of the machine design. By the way, don’t forget that a smaller offset reduces the life of your wheel bearings. So you will have to either change it more often, or buy more expensive parts.
We also remind you that any replacement of wheels with non-standard sizes has advantages and disadvantages. By installing larger tires and wheels you will definitely improve the appearance of your car, its dynamics and stability. But you will have to pay for this with less comfort on bad roads and a possible increase in fuel consumption.
In the case of low-profile tires, which will most likely have to be placed on large rims, you will also have to get used to constantly monitoring the tire pressure, because the tires are more sensitive to this important parameter, as well as to shaking on uneven roads.

What wheels can be put on the vest?
What wheels does the automaker propose to install on the Lada Vesta? AvtoVAZ does not recommend changing the tire size or offset, suggesting that only wheels with increased or reduced width be used.
Wheels with a diameter of 15 inches can be installed in widths from 5 to 6.5 inches (remember, the base has 6 inches). And wheels with a diameter of 16 inches can be from 5.5 to 6.5 inches wide (the base is 6.5 inches). The same applies to 17-inch wheels on the Vesta Cross or wheels on the sports Vesta - if you wish, you can install narrower wheels, 5.5 and 6 inches wide, without violating the requirements and warranty policy of the automaker.
As for tires, AvtoVAZ allows the use of tires with other speed and load capacity indices. Standard 185/65R15 88H tires can be replaced with tires with load capacity index T. And 16-inch tires 195/55R16 91H can be with speed index 87 and/or load index T. Wheels on the Lada Vesta Cross size 205/50R17 89V can be replaced tires with a lower load index H.
What consequences await the owner if you install 18-inch wheels?
Theoretically, it is possible to install 18-inch wheels on the Lada Vesta Cross. But these changes will not allow the motorist to feel normal on the road.
The width of the tires is very different from the dimensions declared by the manufacturer, so if there are bumps and holes on the roads, the wheels will quickly fail. However, installing such disks has its advantages:
- Exterior design becomes more strict and expensive;
- Improved road stability and steering;
- When hitting bumps, the wheels dampen vibration;
- More gentle conditions for car suspension;
- The braking distance decreases;
Disadvantages when installing large wheels:
- You cannot drive in areas with bad roads;
- It is necessary to constantly monitor tire pressure;
- Increased fuel consumption, as energy consumption increases when starting the car;
- 18 inch wheels are more expensive;
- The dimensions do not correspond to the operating rules, so small irregularities cause damage to the wheel.
Dimensions and specifications
The most economical solution is to purchase stamped wheels for the Lada Vesta SV Cross. They have a less attractive appearance and small R15 sizes. However, this will be the most economical offer in stores. They have increased strength and shock resistance. In addition, 15-inch wheels will give the car the most comfortable and smooth ride. In this case, tires should be chosen in size 175/70 R15.
As for cast products, this is a more expressive purchase from a design point of view. Made from cast aluminum and magnesium alloy, these wheels will provide maximum performance to your vehicle.
In this case, the following requirements must be followed:
- If the wheel size is 205/60 R15 or 175/70 R15, then this is the best choice for the winter.
- If the tire sizes are 185/60 R16, then handling will increase, and the level of comfort will not decrease noticeably.
- As for the radius of the R17, the level of comfort will decrease slightly, but handling and road stability will noticeably increase.
What tires does AvtoVAZ recommend installing according to operating rules?
Each car manufacturer will force owners to use only those sizes that are specified in the operating rules. Based on these dimensions, the car can be considered safe on the road.
Using these characteristics, the machine underwent certification and safety tests. The manufacturer is not responsible for changing wheels.

What can happen if you ignore the operating rules?
Despite the fact that the car manufacturer has approved only the above-mentioned wheels, online stores sell other models with similar characteristics and assure that they are suitable for the Lada Vesta St. Cross:
- 5 x 17 4*100 ET43 Dia60.1;
- 6 x 15 4*100 ET36 Dia60.1;
- 5 x 16 4*100 ET41 Dia60.1;
By neglecting the operating rules and installing wheels of other models, the owner risks getting into an accident or encountering other problems on the road. If official models have passed the manufacturer's full test, then other discs may behave completely unpredictably along the way.
Also, the owner of a car may receive a fine from a traffic police officer for having a product installed on his car that does not meet road safety rules. If the car does not meet factory requirements, the owner may be refused repairs to the wheels, chassis, transmission and suspension under warranty.
Standard wheels
A car wheel consists of a disk and a tire, which have individual characteristics.
The AvtoVAZ concern indicates the standard tire size for the Lada Vesta car in the basic configuration - 185/65/R15 88 N (the manufacturer allows the use of T). It means:
- width – 185 mm;
- profile – 65% of 185 mm (120.25 mm);
- The tire must be mounted on a rim with a diameter of 15 inches;
- 88 – load capacity index 560 kg;
- H – speed index, up to 210 km/h (for T – up to 190 km/h).
Such tires under the name ArtMotion for AvtoVAZ are manufactured at Belshina OJSC; the products are characterized by moderate softness and good rubber wear resistance, low noise and excellent road holding. Belshina OJSC also produces tires with identical characteristics in a winter version - the ArtMotion Snow model.
In the basic configurations of the Lada Vesta, these tires are mounted on stamped steel rims of size 6J 15 ET 50 4x100 60.1 (as an option - light alloy models of the same dimensions ANNA-15 from the manufacturer K&K), which means:
- 6J – disk rim width (6 inches);
- 15 – mounting diameter in inches;
- ET 50 – offset 50 mm;
- 4x100 (PCD, bolt pattern) – the disk is secured with 4 bolts located around a circle with a diameter of 100 mm;
- 60.1(DIA) – size of the central (hub) hole.
For top-end configurations of Lada Vesta, the factory installs wheels with dimensions 195/55 R16 91 N (T allowed):
- width – 195 mm;
- profile height – 107.25 mm (55% of 195);
- R16 (mounting diameter of the disk) – 16 inches;
- 91 (load capacity index) – 615 kg;
- H (speed index) - up to 210 km/h (T is allowed - up to 190 km/h).
These EcoContact tires are supplied to AvtoVAZ by the German company Continental. They are mounted on light alloy wheels of the K&K company model Ptalomey-16 with dimensions 6Jx16 ET50 4x100 60.1, the geometric characteristics of which differ only in the mounting diameter - 16 inches.
For basic versions of Lada Vesta, installation of wheels of these dimensions on K&K alloy wheels is also possible as an additional option.
In the Luxe configuration of the Lada Vesta, for an additional fee, it is possible to install wheels even with 17-inch rims of the same model - Ptalomey-17.
New Lada: Rewind, twist the mileage of Lada Vesta
For clarity, let’s summarize the correspondence between the sizes of tires and wheels of the Lada Vesta in a table.
Winter tires for Lada Vesta Cross
In order to choose winter tires for the Lada Vesta Cross, let's go to our favorite website of the Sibir Wheel company. Unfortunately, when searching by car, it is not possible to select the Lada Vesta Cross, so we will search by factory dimensions.
Select width, height and diameter and press search.
As we can see, there is no shortage of summer tires for the Lada Vesta Cross in our city. There were 77 tire options in the price category from 3,250 to 10,400 rubles per wheel. In general, you can choose. I would settle on some average option for 4500-5000 rubles. For example, I really like low-profile Toyo tires. They suit my driving style best and are quite affordable. But, let's return to winter tires. In the search, check the box next to “Winter” and get all the options for winter tires. And this is 48 modifications. There are both friction tires and studded ones. Price range from 3250 to 15,090 rubles per wheel. I prefer studded wheels, so I will choose from them.
For example, the Nokian (Nordman) 7 93T spike model can be purchased for 6,160 rubles per wheel. Judging by the reviews of my friends, these are quite good tires for the money. Don't forget that we choose low-profile winter tires Lada Vesta Cross, so the price can be steep! A set of such tires will cost us 24,640 rubles. Which is quite affordable money these days. Moreover, we will be driving on these tires for many years. If things go well, it will last us 3-4 years. That's all. Thank you for your attention and see you again!
Every driver should know that the size of tires and wheels is one of the main factors that significantly affects the behavior of the car on the road. Each manufacturer indicates the acceptable sizes of tires and wheels; this list consists of several options. Do you know what other tires and wheels are suitable for Vesta besides those specified by the manufacturer?
Review of the best alloy wheels on fret
Wheels made by injection molding from light aluminum alloys have many advantages over steel ones. They have a more accurate geometry (they balance much better), and the weight, although not much, is still less. In turn, this affects both the processes of acceleration and braking, and fuel consumption.
When casting first appeared on the wheel market in the 90s, the attitude towards it was more than skeptical. After all, our roads are full of force majeure, and after a disc has flown into a hole and cracked, you can only throw it away.
In order to ensure higher strength, manufacturers began to increase the thickness of the metal. However, at the same time, the mass of the product also increases - just some kind of vicious circle. True, they have now learned to make lightweight wheels.
This is the so-called forging, the properties of which are improved through the use of special stamping technology, originally invented for aircraft landing gear.
It uses a high-strength alloy “AB” - aluminum with five alloying additives, thanks to which the products are lighter and stronger.
Strengthening of the alloy also occurs due to heat treatment, when the blanks are heated in a furnace for several hours at high temperatures, and then, as is usually done with forging, they are quickly dipped into cold water. Shock therapy hardens the metal.
In general, their manufacturing technology differs from both conventional stamping and casting (although they may not be distinguishable from the latter by appearance). It is more complicated and time-consuming, which is why the price of forged wheels is higher.
They are manufactured by some German, Japanese and Italian companies, and there is also one manufacturer in Russia.
We will introduce you to some brands and models in the review below:
Installing larger diameter discs
Large rims not only change the appearance of the car, but also affect its dynamics, maneuverability, and stability on the highway, and not always for the better.
17-inch wheels were installed on the Concept version of the Lada Vesta. Technically, this sedan can also be equipped with R18 wheels, but the outer diameter of this wheel (669 mm), as well as the tire width (235 mm), differ significantly from the factory values and cannot be considered in the real conditions of Russian roads due to the too low profile as practical - defects in the road surface will quickly damage both tires and wheels, the price of which, due to their size, is several times higher than the cost of standard ones.
- increasing the style of the car and the effectiveness of the exterior;
- improvement of driving qualities - dynamics, road stability, steering sensitivity;
- better “absorption” of potholes compared to a smaller radius;
- with a tire profile from 55 – increased durability of the suspension;
- reducing the braking distance;
- increasing the efficiency of ABS and ESP.
- uncomfortable driving due to sensitivity to road surface defects;
- restriction of use on roads with defective surfaces;
- the need for increased pressure control;
- greater need for kinetic energy at the start - higher fuel consumption;
- higher cost.
This parameter, ignored by novice car enthusiasts, is very important when operating cars with any tires, and especially with low-profile ones. The required tire pressure is always indicated by the vehicle manufacturer in the operating instructions and in an accessible place on the body, for the Lada Vesta - on the B pillar on the driver's side.
Low profile tires require increased attention to pressure, as insufficient pressure will make the wheels and suspension even more vulnerable to potholes and rocks on the road.
As many years of experience have shown, the pressure in low-profile tires must be maintained 15% higher than that specified by the manufacturer for wheels of the recommended size.
Options
If replacement is necessary, you must carefully select the size, since the increased diameter of the product may touch the arch when turning. In this case, the rule applies - when increasing the size of the disk, it is necessary to reduce the height of the tire profile. This will affect comfort. The car manufacturer allows the installation of tires that have the following parameters:
- 175/70 R15;
- 205/60 R15;
- 185/60 R16;
- 175/55 R17;
- 195/50 R17.
Wheel parameters
In this case, the letters and numbers mean the following:
- 6J - wheel rim width. In this case it is equal to six inches.
- Number 15 is the mounting diameter, measured in inches.
- ET 50 - disc offset is 50 mm.
- The drilling or bolting setting is designated as 4x100 or PCD. In this case, the product is secured with four bolts, which are located around a circle, diameter is 100 mm.
- 60.1 (DIA) - the diameter of the central hole for the hub, measured in millimeters.
Knowing all the above parameters, you can easily select wheels that will definitely fit.
What size tires should I take?
According to statements from the manufacturer, the tire size 205/50 R17 is best suited for the vehicle. At the same time, this is not the only option for car owners. If we talk about tire width, then the range is 195-215 mm. In this case, it will be necessary to select appropriate wheels for such tires.
Parameters of standard bolts
A distinctive feature of this car is the use of bolts rather than studs with wheel fixing nuts. Sometimes it happens that standard fasteners need to be replaced for some reason. In this case, before purchasing, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the bolts. Otherwise, serious trouble may arise.
For example, bolts with an inappropriate taper can cause spontaneous unscrewing. As a result, the disk can become disconnected while driving. Which threatens a serious accident. As a result, it is advisable to avoid such situations. Choose the right bolts and tighten them well. Standard parameters of standard elements:
- cone inclination angle, degrees – 60;
- edge width, mm – 17;
- thread length, mm – 28 mm;
- thread pitch, mm – 1.1 mm;
- total length, mm – 56 mm.
The cost of 1 bolt can range from 150 to 250 rubles - this applies to original ones. There is also a wide selection of different analogues on sale. Before purchasing such products, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with all their characteristics. It is also advisable to study reviews. Only then purchase.
Some drivers opt for sets with secret locks. These are found on sale quite often. When using new bolts, it is advisable to lubricate the threads with a special graphite lubricant. This will avoid souring and prevent various problems and difficulties. It is also important to carefully monitor the security key.
Appearance of Lada Vesta Cross: choice of roller
In stamped rollers, the appearance depends on which stamp was chosen for their manufacture, while in cast rollers, milling and computer graphics are used. Often, owners find other ways to make the car original, for example, installing r16 wheels instead of 15 on the Lada Vesta SV Cross. This leads to the following:
- The steering becomes better, the car holds better on the road, but when driving on uneven roads, the ride comfort decreases;
- The traction indicator in dry weather increases, but fuel consumption increases, tires wear out faster, noise insulation and stability during aquaplaning decrease.
Standard disk sizes
It is important to familiarize yourself with the parameters of the standard installed disks in advance. Today, regardless of body type, year of manufacture and other factors, it is necessary to use wheels with the following characteristics:
- diameter of the central hole, mm – 60.1;
- distance between individual holes, mm – 100.
The specified parameters are relevant for sedan, station wagon, and Cross cars. At the same time, the rim width differs slightly for these versions. For the sedan and station wagon, the width will be 6J in inches. At the same time, for the Cross version - 6 ½ J.
- for a station wagon – 50 mm;
- for Cross – 43 mm.
A standalone model is the version designated Sport. The diameter of the central hole, the distance between individual holes and other characteristics are the same. However, the offset may vary. Also, discs with 5 holes rather than 4 are required. It is important to select the right tires. This is the only way to avoid various problems during operation.
Tires that are the wrong size can create rub marks on the inside of the wheel arch. Wheels that are too heavy and oversized lead to increased wear and tear on the vehicle. As a result, a variety of problems may arise. For example, with wheel bearings, steering rack. Heavy alloy wheels make the steering more viscous and problematic.
Tires for lada vesta sw cross 2022 1.8ib/c
At the moment, there are 618 tire modifications for the Lada Vesta SW Cross on Mosavtoshina with an average rating of 4.45/5. Add your review.
Selecting tires and wheels for the Lada Vesta SW Cross 1.8i B/C 2021 allows you to reduce to a minimum the occurrence of various difficulties associated with the fact that many car owners often make mistakes when choosing such products on their own. In a significant proportion of cases, this is due to the failure to use a number of technical parameters. It is for this reason that installing a tire and wheel becomes very difficult and often impossible, and in addition, such changes in the vehicle’s configuration lead to increased load on the steering and many suspension components. The tire and wheel selection system of the Mosavtoshina online store contains a special database that contains various technical characteristics of almost all modern cars and trucks. To use this information to search for suitable options, the user simply needs to indicate the make, model, year of manufacture and modification of his own vehicle.

Characteristics of standard Lada vesta wheels
The standard characteristics of the wheels, which are produced at AvtoVAZ and come with the Vesta, are very similar to the sizes of other Lada cars. However, installing them is not recommended.
Standard parameters of disks 185/65/R15 88 N. Explanation:
- Wheel width – 185 mm;
- Wheel profile – 120.25mm;
- Disc radius – 15;
- 88 is a number indicating the carrying capacity, which is equal to 560 kg;
- Speed index – H (210 km/h)
These characteristics are installed on the standard equipment of the car.
Lada Vesta wheels in luxury trim levels
Another wheel configuration option for Vesta is 16-inch wheels, which are installed in trim levels above Classic. The wheels are produced by the same K&K company and have the following markings: K&K Ptalomey 16 6X16 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50. Of course, the resistance of larger diameter wheels to bumps and holes is an order of magnitude higher - this is due to the fact that at the moment of passing over unevenness the radius of the wheel is simply prevents you from falling into the same bump that a smaller diameter wheel would fall into. In addition, thanks to the large radius, the vehicle's stability on the road increases. And, of course, do not forget about such an advantage as appearance - large wheels noticeably elevate your car in every sense.
Original tires
As you know, any wheel includes a tire and a rim. Moreover, they can be of different sizes. sets the following standard size for the wheels of his new car (we mean the simplest configuration): 185/65, and this is with a radius of 15. The indices of other indicators are equal to 88H or 88T.
All these tricky numbers reflect the following parameters:
- Width, mm: 185.
- Profile: 65 percent of the width ((185/100)*65).
- Discs, radius: 15'.
- 88: maximum weight 560 kilograms.
- H: speed index (less than or equal to 210 km/h). In the case of T instead of H: less than or equal to 190 km/h.
The manufacturer of such wheels is the Belshina enterprise, and the wheels themselves are called ArtMotion. The product is characterized by sufficiently soft rubber, which has good endurance along with excellent road grip and low noise levels. The option for the cold season is called ArtMiton Snow.
On the most inexpensive Vesta trim levels, the tires are mounted on stamped steel. The dimensions of these disks are: 6J15ET504x10060.1. As an option, light alloys with the same parameters can be installed. Such discs are produced by K&K, and the disc model is called ANNA-15.
The above dimension is deciphered as follows:
- 6J: rim width (here 6').
- 15: installation diameter (here 15').
- ET50: offset (here 50 mm).
- 4x100 (diameter of the circle of the centers of the mounting holes or PCD). Installation is carried out using 4 bolts located on a circle measuring 100 mm. Sometimes this parameter is called bolt pattern.
- 1: disc hub mounting diameter (DIA).
The manufacturer equips the richest configurations of the Lada Vesta with the following standard sizes: 195/55R1691H or 195/55R1691T.
Let's decipher these numbers:
- Width, mm: 195.
- Profile height: 107.25 mm, which is 55% of 195.
- R16: rim width in (here 16').
- 91: load capacity indicator (for number 91 this is 615 kg).
- H: speed indicator (less than or equal to 210 km/h, in the case of T: less than or equal to 190 km/h).
Such tires for the auto giant are produced by the German company Continental. The model is called EcoContact. However, alloy wheels are no longer manufactured by Continental, but by K&K (the wheel model is called Ptalomey 16). The discs have dimensions 6Jx16ET504x10060.1. In fact, they differ only in the fit size, which is 16 inches.
However, similar wheels and the same rims can be installed on the most inexpensive Lada Vesta configurations - however, as an optional feature.
A car in the Luxe version, for some money, can also be equipped with wheels (with 17 discs) of a similar model from the same manufacturer: Ptalomey 17. Below in the table you can see the wheel sizes for Lada Vesta:
Vesta SV wheels from the factory
The standard dimensions of the slopes of the basic West SV assemblies coming off the AvtoVAZ assembly line have parameters such as 185/65/R1588Н. Some batches of these vehicles may be equipped with T-series tires. In this case:
- 185 – means the width of the slope in mm;
- 65 is the percentage of the tire profile compared to its width. If in millimeters, then it will be 65/100*185=120.25;
- R15 is not the radius, but the diameter of the rim intended for this tire in inches;
- 88 – this digital index indicates the tire’s permissible load capacity of 560 kg;
- H – means permissible speed up to 210 km/h. While T is 190 km/h.
Controllability criteria
Handling criteria are an important evaluation factor that all manufacturers must comply with when producing cars. The main criteria are included in GOST and are used when testing new models. But ordinary motorists do not need complex calculations. You can understand that your car is handling poorly even during your daily commute to work.
- Sustainability. Russian roads are far from ideal, and there are often large and small potholes along the way. If you accidentally hit one of these holes with your wheel, your car shouldn't veer too far off course. Otherwise, there is a high probability of flying into the adjacent lane, since at high speed the degree of deviation will be greater.
- Turning should be clear and predictable. The entry angle should not differ greatly due to external factors or coating material. On vehicles with good suspension, precise trajectories during bends and turns are possible even at high speeds.
- Road grip. The car must respond quickly and clearly to steering movements in any conditions. Sudden acceleration or braking should also not cause difficulties. The machine should ideally maintain such characteristics on both dry and wet surfaces, as well as during winter.
A car's handling depends on many factors. It’s quite difficult to calculate; after all, you can’t do it with just one equation. Therefore, most drivers prefer to be guided by their own experience. The main criterion for handling is sufficient turning in difficult conditions (high speed, snow or rain).
Frame design.
Based on the carcass design, tires are divided into two types:
- Diagonal - the cords in the tire are located diagonally from bead to bead. The need to cross threads in two adjacent layers leads to the fact that the number of layers is always even (2,4, 6 or 8);
- Radial - cord threads are located meridionally (radially) along the tire from bead to bead. In this case, there can be an odd number of layers.
Bias and radial tires have both their advantages and disadvantages. For example, diagonal ones are simpler in design and cost less, while radial ones have higher performance characteristics, efficient heat dissipation due to fewer layers (can be recognized by the markings on the sidewall), and better grip on the road surface.
Currently, bias-ply tires for passenger cars are practically not produced and are found only on trucks, but they can still be purchased.
