Choice of disks for the Lada Granta: stamped or cast

Lada Granta is a car that has received the status of “people's car” for good reason. When conceiving and bringing the car to life, all the nuances of everyday operation were taken into account, including the quality of roads in Russia.

The external architecture and internal technical side of the car harmoniously respond to each other. Take 15 wheels on the Grant, which are provided in the serial production of the car.

The diameter, weight and other characteristics of such discs not only perfectly meet the requirements of the declared power of the car, but also fit perfectly into the design of the car. The Lada Granta, equipped with 15-inch wheels, looks harmonious in relation to its dimensions.

Recommended wheels for Lada Granta

When choosing wheels for a Grant, you should adhere to a number of parameters that depend on the vehicle’s configuration. Even if you really want to put 15 wheels on the Grant, you should first make sure that this is possible by familiarizing yourself with the following characteristics:

The Lada Granta “Standard” configuration is equipped from the factory with wheels with the following parameters:

– The diameter of the stamped-welded discs is 13 inches; – Planting width 5.0; – ET (wheel offset) 35; – Bolt pattern 4x98; – DIA (hub bore size) 58.6.

Lada Granta "Norma" configuration has the following characteristics:

– Diameter of alloy wheels 14 inches; – Planting width 5.5; – ET (wheel offset) 35, 38 – depending on the year. 2011 – 35; 2012 – 38. – Bolt pattern 4x98; – DIA (hub bore size) 58.6.

The “Lux” package is equipped by the developers with the following parameters:

– Diameter of alloy wheels 15 inches; – Planting width is 6; – ET (wheel offset) 35; – Bolt pattern 4x98; – DIA (hub bore size) 58.6.

We can conclude that, regardless of the configuration, only the bolt pattern and the size of the hub hole remain unchanged. The rest is individual.

Of course, if you really want to, you can install a 15-inch casting on any Granta and not experience any discomfort. The main thing is to know the parameters of your car and take them into account when choosing new disks.

If difficulties arise in this knowledge, you should contact a consultant in a specialized store asking for help in choosing 15mm wheels for the Grant.

The database of a good store contains information about the compliance of wheels and various modifications of automobile brands. It is enough for the seller to find out the model and year of manufacture of the car in order to offer the client a large selection of necessary disks.

Factory tire and wheel sizes

In most cases, the Lada Granta is equipped from the factory with “stamps” and light alloy wheels with a radius of 13 and 14 inches, but not so long ago they also began to be equipped with 15-inch wheels.

Lada Granta in the “Standard” and “Norma” configurations were equipped with 13 wheels. But you need to look at the size of the front brake disc, it can be 14th wheel radius

These durable steel wheels consist of a rim onto which the tire is directly attached. This entire structure, or rather its elements, are connected to each other using strong welding. And for convenience during operation, each disc contains information about the width of the rim profile, the moment of disc departure and other indicators.

Wheel rim bolt pattern on Lada Granta

The manufacturer advises installing wheels on the Lada Granta with a diameter (A) of 13 to 15 inches, with a profile width (B) of 5-6 J, with an offset (ET) of 33 to 38 millimeters, with the usual AvtoVAZ bolt pattern - PSD 4*98 ,DIA 58.5.

All these parameters are most clearly presented in this picture.

How can I find out the disk parameters myself?

All necessary information, including that related to the installation of new disks, can be found in the technical data sheet of the machine. If this is not observed at hand, you can try to find out yourself by determining visually and using a regular ruler.

So, if you need to select 15mm wheels for Grant, you need to know the meaning of the following parameters and what they are responsible for:

1. ET or disc offset is a number that indicates the distance between two planes. Namely: between the place where the disc comes into contact with the hub and the area of ​​vertical symmetry of the wheel.

This value shows how much the disk will “peek out” from the wings and is responsible for the stability of the car during operation. Typically, in the standard this value is 40 mm.

2. DIA or hub hole size - the mounting diameter of the disc hub. When choosing, it is necessary that this value coincides with the size of the hub (hole diameter) on the car. Measured in mm, can be measured with a ruler.

3. Bolt pattern, for example 4x98. In this case, 4 is the number of holes for securing the wheel with bolts. The number 98 indicates the distance at which they are located.

4. The width parameter is the width of the rim; in our case, rims 15 on the Lada Granta have a width of 5; 5.5; 6 – depending on the configuration. Measured in inches.

Thus, having this information, you can easily select wheels for the Grant 15. The main topic for thought now will be what version to choose for the wheels 15 for the Grant, cast, forged, collapsible... Original or replica? Which manufacturer is better?

Here, as they say, it’s the boss’s business. The main guideline is usually the budget.

Factory tire and wheel sizes

In most cases, the Lada Granta is equipped from the factory with “stamps” and light alloy wheels with a radius of 13 and 14 inches, but not so long ago they also began to be equipped with 15-inch wheels.

Lada Granta in the “Standard” and “Norma” configurations were equipped with 13 wheels. But you need to look at the size of the front brake disc, it can be 14th wheel radius

These durable steel wheels consist of a rim onto which the tire is directly attached. This entire structure, or rather its elements, are connected to each other using strong welding. And for convenience during operation, each disc contains information about the width of the rim profile, the moment of disc departure and other indicators.

After a certain point in time, the wheel rims will need to be checked for lateral and radial runout. Such maintenance should certainly be carried out at tire service stations or technical service stations. service.

Wheel rim bolt pattern on Lada Granta

The manufacturer advises installing wheels on the Lada Granta with a diameter (A) of 13 to 15 inches, with a profile width (B) of 5-6 J, with an offset (ET) of 33 to 38 millimeters, with the usual AvtoVAZ bolt pattern - PSD 4*98 ,DIA 58.5.

All these parameters are most clearly presented in this picture.

Thanks to this table, you can select the optimal tire and wheel parameters.

A little about wheels

Tires - Today, these are one of the most high-tech products on which safe and comfortable movement by car directly depends.

There are a large number of tires on the market today from many different manufacturers. They consist of a frame, a protector and a breaker layer between them.

And also the toughest part of the tire - the bead, which is designed for reliable fixation and sealing on the rim.

Disks - In the modern world, a wheel includes two parts: the rim - which is a surface closed in a ring with sides on which the tire is fixed, and the disk - which is a support for the rim with holes for fixing the entire wheel to the hub, most often using bolts or hairpins. Currently, there are the following types of discs: stamped, cast, forged, composite and combined.

What is the effect of different tire and wheel sizes?

What wheels are suitable for Granta?

The choice of wheels should be based on compliance with several important parameters, depending on the level of equipment of the Lada Granta car. Even with a great desire to install 15-inch rollers in the Russian car, we first recommend that you familiarize yourself with the set of characteristics below.

1. “Standard” configuration involves mounting disks with the following parameters:

• stamped products with a diameter of 13 inches;
• landing width is 5.0 inches;
• the overhang (“ET”) is 35 mm;
• bolt pattern formula - 4x98.
• “DIA” (center hole diameter) – 58.6 mm.

2. Characteristics for the “Norma” version

• diameter reaches 14 inches;
• landing width – 5.5 inches;
• offset - 35 or 38 mm (depending on the year: if 2011, then 35, and for 2012 the value is 38 mm);
• bolt pattern geometry – 4x98;
• "DIA" - 58.6 mm.

3. The manufacturer equipped the “luxury” package with the following discs:

• 15" diameter;
• landing width is 6 inches;
• offset parameter – 35 mm;
• similar bolt pattern - 4x98;
• "DIA" - 58.6 mm.

Looking at these parameters, we can summarize that, regardless of the version of the car’s equipment, only the bolt pattern and the diameter of the hole for fitting the wheel to the hub remain unchanged. The remaining criteria have an individual shade.

If there is an irresistible desire to install wheels on 15, then this can be done on any version of the Lada Grant in terms of configuration and without the presence of discomfort. The primary criterion will be knowledge of specific parameters when selecting wheels.

If difficulties arise with the choice, an effective measure would be to seek advice from specialists. This will allow you to accurately purchase the required factory wheels.

The database of a store with a decent reputation contains information about the compliance of disks, or rather their parameters, with the design aspects of specific brands, models and modifications of cars. The seller will need to find out the year of production of the car, after which he will offer suitable product options.

How can I find out about the disk parameters myself?

The technical passport of a particular car contains information not only about what factory wheels it has, but also contains instructions for installing them. If this useful guide is not nearby, then you can arm yourself with a ruler and visually determine the characteristics of interest.

If you need to choose 15-inch wheels, you must have knowledge regarding such parameters.

1. “ET” (offset) - denotes the numerical expression of the distance between two planes, or more precisely: the surface of contact with the hub and the vertical plane of symmetry of a particular product. The indicated value is intended to indicate how much the disk is able to “peek out” from under the wing. The parameter affects the degree of stability of the car. Typically, the numerical criterion for overhang starts at 40 mm.
2. “DIA” is the diameter of the hole that allows the wheel to fit onto the hub surface. When choosing a product, you should take into account the corresponding hub parameter. The measurement is carried out in millimeters.
3. Bolt pattern (in our version 4x98). The first number in the formula means the numerical composition of the fastening bolts, and the second is the diameter, on the line of which the centers of the holes for fasteners are located.
4. Disc width. This ordinary characteristic is usually expressed in inches. For LADA Granta the following values ​​are valid: 5; 5.5 and 6.

Armed with the above information, even an inexperienced owner will be able to select a suitable set of disks, thereby replacing the factory disks.

Is it advisable to pay attention to alloy wheels?

Casting has long been popular, including 15-inch versions for LADA Granta. Compared to analogues, these products have several advantages:

• a lot of various offers on models and manufacturers;
• light weight, providing a slight increase in dynamic capabilities and reduced fuel consumption;
• more affordable cost compared to forged analogues;
• the use of corrosion-resistant alloys in the design, which allows the product to provide a decent service life.

Let's sum it up

As you can see, 15-inch wheels on the popular LADA Granta model are not associated with subsequent driving discomfort and do not provoke difficulties during the installation process. We recommend considering cast versions of products that have these advantages and are more accessible due to their moderate price factor.

Reading time: 7 minutes

One of the most modern creations of the AvtoVAZ concern is the Lada Granta car. The model first rolled off the assembly line in 2011 and is still in production. The number of cars sold in Russia and abroad is more than one hundred thousand - this indicates the popularity of the model among drivers, since its spectacular appearance, improved quality of all parts, increased engine life, as well as a relatively low price make it one of the most popular today . Of course, all related auto parts are widely represented on the market, and one of the main ones are wheel rims.

The best models for summer

Now let's present several worthy summer models:

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.

Disc for Lada Granta

This car is practically in the same line with the Priora and Kalina, so many parameters, including the wheelbase, ground clearance, suspension, and hub design are similar. The same can be said about wheel rims.

Lada Granta

First of all, it is worth mentioning the versatility of the model, since the drill pattern of 58.1 mm, as well as the bolt pattern of 4×98, remains unchanged in all models of the concern. In addition, this number and length of studs on the hub fully complies with the standards for small economy class cars from the world's leading manufacturers - 4x100, which gives much more options for replacing discs.

In the simplest configuration, the car is equipped with simple stamped wheels with decorative linings made of polymer materials with a dimension of 5.0J x 13 ET35, and this figure corresponds to the tire parameters 175/70/R13. Car enthusiasts are not very fond of this size, preferring to leave it for the winter and buy larger wheels as a summer option.

The “Standard” and “Norma” configurations are distinguished by wheels with an increased radius - 5.0J x 14 ET35 or 5.5J x 14 ET35, and are fitted with 175/65/R14 and 185/60/R14 tires, respectively. These characteristics improve the visual perception of the car, but are also available only in a stamped version, which does not make the car more expensive when viewed. However, wheels for the Lada Granta R14 can also be purchased in a cast version from independent suppliers and installed on the car as an option.

The latest, top-end configuration of the brand is “Sport”, to the exterior of which the manufacturer has made some adjustments that emphasize the increased dynamic qualities of the car. It is also equipped with Lada Granta alloy wheels with a stylish 6.0J x 15 ET35 grille, on which there are low-profile and wide tires measuring 195/50/R16, significantly distinguishing the car from its competitors.

Alloy wheels R15 for Lada Granta

The optimal wheel size for the Lada Granta is 15 inches, which gives car owners the right to choose any wheel characteristics within this parameter. So, before purchasing wheels for their “iron horse,” owners should know the following features:

• Wheels purchased for a used car must be replaced as a set or in pairs, because otherwise the car will skid and become less controllable on the road. Replacing all 4 products is not a problem if the owner wants to improve the appearance of the car. It is not advisable to purchase only one wheel to replace a deformed one if the old one has been in use for more than a year.
• When choosing the required width of the product, the driver needs to be guided by the place where the car is used, since when driving on good asphalt at high speeds, excessive grip on the road can reduce the speed of the car, and a width of 185 mm will be quite enough, that is, you should not take wheels wider than 5, 5J-6.0J.
• If the driver uses his Granta in winter, he can install wider wheels, increasing the grip to 195 or 205 mm, which will correspond to a rim size of 6.0J-6.5J.
• R15 is the optimal size, and it can be used for installing all-season tires, which will significantly save the owner’s money on tire fitting during seasonal “change of shoes.”

Sphere of influence of tires and wheels

To understand which tires are best suited for the Lada Granta, you first need to find out what the size of the tires and wheels of the car affects. Service station specialists note that when replacing tires, one should be guided by the fact that the difference in outer diameter is minimal.

The selection of tires affects the following features of vehicle operation:

• brake and traction characteristics;
• transmission;
• fuel consumption;
• atmospheric emissions.

Increasing the radius of the wheel, tire and rim has the following effects.

Legend: + - improvement, - - deterioration, 0 - no change.

Changing your tire size will definitely lead to changes in your vehicle's handling accuracy. As the volume of the tire becomes larger, the scale of the space in contact with the road surface increases. This provides ample opportunities for maneuverability.

Wheel sizes for Lada Granta Liftback

Due to the fact that this model is considered more advanced than its basic prototype, wheels for the Grant come in the following types:

• R13 is a classic version of “stamping” on a car in the “Economy” configuration, not much different from the wheels on the predecessor model, the dimension of the steel elements is 5.0J x 13 ET35, as an option it is possible to change the width to 5.5J. The tires have dimensions of 175/70/R13, but the driver can slightly “play” with a grip area of ​​up to 185 mm and a profile in the range from 65 to 75 mm.
• R14 is also not much different from the 2011 models, and at the factory this radius is assigned a dimension of 5.0J x 14 ET35, but the car enthusiast also has the right to install 5.5J-6.0J x 14 ET35-38 for tires 175-185/ 55-65/R14. These parameters also most often come in a stamped version, however, on the shelves of auto stores you can find alloy wheels for “Grant” with a dimension of 14 inches.
• R15 - supplied in the “Standard” package. Unlike previous models, the car owner can fully enjoy the road on spectacular alloy wheels. The factory specifications for the wheels are 6.0J x 15 ET35, tires - 185/55/R15. This size is ideal for all-purpose tires for both winter and summer. The driver should remember that it is necessary to change the ET offset from 30 to 40 mm when changing the width of the disk, because wheels of such a radius, installed off-center, can damage the car body.
• In the “Sport” configuration, the “Granta Liftback” has 16-inch wheels. All products are high-quality “castings”, the rubber profile cannot exceed 50 mm, and the wheel width is 195 mm, and, unfortunately, the craftsmen do not recommend increasing it, because the wheel can extend beyond the transverse dimensions of the car. However, in this case, plastic linings on the arches come to the rescue, which look very stylish on a sports car and, at the same time, actively protect the car from pollution. The size of the wheels in this configuration is 6.5J x 16 ET30.
• R17 - the most exclusive products from AvtoVAZ, installed on the Lada Granta Liftback Sport, are made in the best traditions of sports cars, have very elegant spokes, a huge size and low-profile tires. So, the manufacturer recommends 7.0J x 17 ET30 wheels, and this ideally matches 205/40-45/R17 tires.

What is the tire pressure

Tire pressure is a relative value, but for tires of different sizes it should be almost the same. The pressure indicator does not mean the amount of air, but the ratio of air in the tire to its total volume.

According to the factory parameters, the pressure in R13 tires should be 1.9 atmospheres, while for R14 and R15 tires the pressure must be maintained at two atmospheres.

At the same time, do not forget about the regular load on the car. If the load is the average load capacity of a vehicle of this model, then the tire pressure must be maintained at the above level. In cases where most of the time the car owner loads the vehicle to the maximum, the tire pressure should be increased by 0.2 atmospheres.

Pressure tends to influence two of the most important indicators of a vehicle.

• Safety. You should not be lenient about the tire pressures recommended by the manufacturer in the vehicle's technical specifications. At high speeds, reduced pressure increases braking distance and reduces agility and controllability.
• Gasoline consumption. With a reduced level of tire pressure, the engine has to work more intensively, which leads to increased fuel consumption. In addition, the wear resistance of the tread is reduced.
