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.

What other tires and wheels are suitable for the Grant?

A survey was conducted among VKontakte users, asking them to choose alloy wheels for Granta. 42% of participants recommend installing R15 wheels on the Grant. 27% chose R14. Third place (17% of voters) believe that 16 wheels on Grant will look best. The left tire compatibility table is built for 175/70 R13, and the right one is for 185/55 R15:

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

Based on reviews from owners, we have compiled a list of compatibility of Lada Granta tires and wheels:

• R14 wheels on Granta can be installed with the following tire parameters: 175/60 ​​R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14 , 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.
• R15 wheels on the Grant are installed with the following parameters: 175/50 R15, 175/45 R15, 175/40 R15, 185/50 R15, 185/45 R15, 185/40 R15, 195/50 R15, 195/45 R15, 195/ 40 R15, 205/50 R15, 205/45 R15, 205/40 R15 and 205/32 R15.
• R16 wheels on the Grant are equipped with tires: 175/50 R16, 175/45 R16, 175/40 R16, 185/45 R16, 185/40 R16, 195/45 R16, 195/40 R16 and 205/32 R16.
• R17 wheels for the Grant (the same number voted for R13 wheels); it is recommended to install them with tires: 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.

Don't forget about the rim width:

When installing tires or wheels that differ in parameters

from those recommended by the factory, you can:

• be refused warranty repair of the chassis;
• be stopped by a traffic police inspector, who has the right to draw up a report on the car’s non-compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations;
• fail to pass technical inspection.

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.

What does the size of tires and wheels affect?

It is worth noting that it is better to choose winter tires for the Lada Grant as narrow as possible. Thus, the pressure of the car on the road surface will be greater, and therefore the grip on the road will improve. Also, do not forget that wide tires are more sensitive to the ruts on the road, and low-profile tires will transfer even the smallest bumps to your butt.

The smaller the unsprung masses

(this includes a lot 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 ESC calibration (the systems may not work correctly).

Let us remind you that for safety and to increase the service life of your tires, you should maintain the recommended pressure in the Lada Granta tires.

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.

Standard Lada Granta wheel sizes

Depending on the vehicle's configuration, it may use tires and wheels of different diameters and widths. The year of manufacture of the car also plays an important role.

The first generation of Lada Granta was equipped with wheels with the following parameters:

Many people mistakenly perceive the letter R as a “radius”, but in fact, it only means the structure of the tire – radial. The numbers after the letter R are the diameter of the disc in inches.

Since 2022, the configurations have changed slightly. Now tires and wheels are installed in the following sizes:

These are all the standard sizes of tires and wheels that are installed on the Lada Granta from the factory.

Winter tires for Lada Granta

The selection of winter tires for the Lada Granta should be based on the characteristics of the terrain on which you will have to drive. If the roads are not cleared enough, and the winter threatens frequent thaws followed by frosts, then in this case you should use studded tires.

Tires for winter use must have soft contact with the road surface, which will provide a reliable degree of traction even on packed snow, and the tread base must be rigid for precise steering. Goodyear, Pirelli and Dinlop Winter companies have the necessary dimensional characteristics for the Lada Granta, namely in the range from R13 to R16.

Winter tires will also require running-in to ensure they fit firmly in their seats. For a good break-in, you will need to drive about 500 kilometers. When running in, you should try to avoid sudden braking and slipping. To improve traction, it is also recommended to choose tires with a narrow profile.

How to properly change a wheel on a car

Removing the wheel is mainly necessary when it is necessary to repair the wheel, when repairing and servicing some vehicle components that are difficult to access by the wheel, in case of damage to the wheel in a road situation, or during seasonal tire replacement.

Did you hit a curb? Got a punctured tire? If a situation arises that requires removal of the wheel and tire, contact the service center, they will assist you in this situation. In this case, you don’t have to waste time and get your hands dirty; we will do everything for you quickly and efficiently.

If you decide to do the work yourself, then for removal and installation you will need a tool, which will be difficult to do without:

1. A jack is a tool designed to lift a car in order to remove a wheel installation. Many cars are equipped with a standard jack.
2. Balloon wrench. Needed for unscrewing wheel bolts and nuts. It looks like a socket wrench, on one side of which there is a lever, and on the other a head that fits the size of the disk nut.

Is it worth increasing the Lada Granta track?

The track is the width between wheels located on the same axle. Increasing the track width allows the installation of wider wheels and improves vehicle handling, especially with a large suspension lift. But it’s clearly not worth increasing the track on Grant.

The track can be increased by using special spacers for the hub. Each car owner decides for himself whether to increase the track or not. But it’s worth knowing how this will affect other components of the car.

The fact is that the thicker the hub becomes and the thicker the wheel, the more the wheel bearing wears out. In addition, such tuning can negatively affect the drives. The grenades will be seriously loaded.

It is possible to carry out such tuning, but provided that a reinforced wheel hub is used, an appropriate bearing, and also paired with good drives.

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.
