Alloy wheels for Lada Priora - photo selection in sizes R14 and R15

Which Priora wheels are best suited for regular use and which for seasonal use? Choosing the best option is quite difficult, but possible. Since the factory hubcaps and discs on the Priora become unusable quite quickly and this happens to many people, it is necessary to find a good replacement. So it’s worth paying attention to the characteristics of various disks, as well as the method of their production.

Disk specifics

The factory Lada Priora is equipped with 4 steel wheels with a diameter of 14 inches. To protect against damage, plastic caps are put on the discs. And it is because of them that disks have to be changed often for the following reasons:

1. The hubcaps often fall off when driving over uneven surfaces. A few hits, hitting a dozen holes - and the plastic flies off somewhere to the side while you continue to drive along the road. Upon arrival home, it turns out that the plastic protection has disappeared, and the discs are now “bare”.
2. The appearance of the Priora wheels also leaves much to be desired, and this is the second reason to replace the wheels.
3. Low technical characteristics. The rather large weight of the products negatively affects the overall handling of the vehicle, and also slightly increases fuel consumption during the trip.

After some time, when factory products completely lose their performance properties, you have to look for a replacement. The main parameter that is worth remembering right away is the size of the disks. The optimal one for Priora is R14; R15 models can also be installed on Priora without any problems; R16 is used less often.

Priora wheel size

The legendary model of the domestic concern "AvtoVAZ" is deservedly considered one of the most popular and widespread models presented on the Russian market. This is due to the relatively low cost of the car, its high driving characteristics, which far exceed the older classic cars of the concern. An important feature is the absence of problems in finding spare parts and parts to improve the car, and you can service it yourself in the garage. Lada Priora is produced in body types such as sedan, hatchback and station wagon. This allows buyers to choose the most convenient body type to perform various tasks.

The need to replace wheels and tires happens to every car owner. This also applies to Priora fans. Any tires and wheels wear out as a result of use and require either repair or replacement. The tires on a Priora usually last for several seasons, after which they need to be replaced. Regardless of the diameter and other dimensions of tires, wear occurs gradually.

Any product installed on a vehicle requires proper and careful operation. As for tires, the most common mistake of all drivers is the incorrect selection of products according to seasonality. You can often see a car driving in winter on summer tires, or vice versa. It is important to remember that this is very unsafe. In addition, using, for example, winter tires in summer greatly increases their wear. Since this type of rubber is simply not intended for use in such temperature conditions.

In auto stores you can find offers for the sale of tires in all possible designs with a large number of different characteristics that will suit even the most demanding car enthusiasts.

In addition, installed tires and wheels have a maximum impact on the following properties of the vehicle:

• Increasing or decreasing the level of wear of parts and suspension units, depending on the quality of the product.
• Machine controllability in any conditions.
• Dynamic qualities such as acceleration, maximum speed, braking distance.
• Fuel consumption.
• Other characteristics.

During the operation of a vehicle, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to the quality of the wheels used. In addition, it is necessary to constantly monitor their technical condition. At the first signs of wear, it is necessary to either replace the products or reduce the load on them. Installing the cheapest wheels with low performance is unacceptable. Such tires usually last no more than one season, wear out very quickly and behave unpredictably on the road surface.

Types of disks

Lada Priora comes with alloy steel wheels, but you can install others, depending on your preferences. The options are as follows:

1. Alloy wheels are standard factory products. They are the cheapest class among other types of wheels and are mainly used for the basic equipment of almost all economy class cars. They are not durable, have low resistance to impacts, and are practically irreparable.
2. To create stamped models, unlike cast ones, special alloys are used. Alloys can significantly improve the characteristics of finished products, which can be noticed during operation. Alloy models can be repaired by straightening, so their service life is several times longer than their cast counterparts. They cost more, but last longer.
3. But even the stamping method cannot create something more reliable than luxury forged wheels. The most expensive products have an extremely long service life - several years. In addition, they do not need to be repaired often, since they are quite difficult to bend or even scratch. They can withstand even the strongest impacts, so they are not afraid of uneven roads.

Let's sum it up

Installing 17-inch wheels on a Priora is indeed possible. The only question is the feasibility of such tuning. This makes sense as one of the stages of changing the appearance of the car. In this case, you get good opportunities for operating the vehicle and quite adequate performance if you also change other suspension parts. The brakes will have to be replaced with a larger diameter and other better quality pads purchased. The struts can be raised by also purchasing better springs. All parts should be selected from foreign cars, having previously specified compatibility with fasteners.

But if you don’t want to invest hundreds of thousands into your car, then you shouldn’t even think about 17-inch wheels. The car will feel much more confident on 15 wheels, which will cost you much less and will not require replacing half of the suspension. Make sure you buy products with the correct width and adequate solutions in all areas. It is precisely these opportunities that will help you judge sensibly about all the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing large wheels on a VAZ. Also look at the finished results of such suspension tuning to imagine the future result. What do you think about such changes in the domestic car?

What to look for when choosing

Among the main types, 2 will be priority for most - cheap alloy wheels and stamped ones.

Each type of disc has a marking that can tell you more about the features of the models:

1. The first thing that appears in the marking will be the number - this is a number that means the width of the disks in inches (for example, 5.5).
2. Next comes the letter abbreviation for the modification of the rim edges - B, D, K, J or P. There are more complex options JK, PP.
3. There may be an “x” after the edge information to indicate a non-separable design. If the disk is disassembled, then instead of an X there will be a “-”.
4. The next marking line will be the diameter in inches. Indicated by a two-digit number. In our case, 14-15 for Priora.
5. Next there will be a designation from the catalog about the features of the tire fastening, for example, H2.
6. The abbreviation denoting the number of fasteners and their diameter is “number of bolts x diameter of the circle in mm.” This parameter is important for proper mounting of discs to the Priora hub.
7. The last 2 designations - the size of the overhang and the size of the central hole - are not particularly important.

The marking of a suitable wheel on a Priora will look like this: 5.5 J x 15 H2 4×98 ET35 d58.5 - in this case these are alloy summer wheels.

Tire sizes for Lada Priora

Factory tire parameters:

• 175/70 R13 82T;
• 175/65 R14 82Н;
• 185/60 R14 82Н;
• 185/65 R14 86H;
• 185/55 R15 82H.

For tuning, it is possible to install tires with the following sizes:

Disc sizes and parameters:

• wheel bolt pattern - 4×98;
• rim width - 5.5, 6.0j, inches;
• rim offset - ET 37 or 35 millimeters;
• diameter of the centering hole - CO 58.6, millimeters.

It is in these dimensions that the car will correspond to all factory settings and characteristics, both in terms of control and dynamics. The wheels of the presented sizes provide optimal traction and stability. In addition, the comfort and smoothness of the ride will also be normal. The car will be able to overcome small road defects and obstacles without putting much strain on the backs of passengers. With these wheel sizes there will not be much shaking. Safe driving is ensured both in the city and on country roads.

To correctly select wheels by size for a Priora car, regardless of the year of manufacture and engine size, you need to know what the main differences in characteristics are for different sizes.

Tire selection

When changing wheels, do not forget about the tire size. If you are going to take an R15 on a Priora, then the optimal tire size you will need is 190/50, but there are as many as 10 other options. On 15 wheels, such tires are the best solution that can be found. The size is excellent, since the tire will not touch body parts and suspension, but will also last a long time in operation, although it is low-profile.

Tire size will affect the vehicle's performance on the road, so choose only the appropriate options. You should not rush to buy them; also evaluate the material used and the manufacturer. Summer tires should be thinner, and winter tires, on the contrary, should be thicker. There are almost 2 dozen tires on Priora that are installed with R14 wheels. and a few R16s for those who like to experiment, so you're sure to find something if you have the catalog to match.

About tires on Lada Priora cars of 14 and 15 diameters

The sizes 14 and 15 inches are rightfully the most common for installation on the Lada Priora. The manufacturer clearly states the permissible tire sizes. This:

The choice of size for a personal vehicle depends only on the preferences of the car owner. Different tires may provide different characteristics; to obtain the optimal one, you must take into account all the manufacturer's recommendations. For tuning, Priora can even be equipped with wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. They do not have a high level of smoothness, but they noticeably decorate the car.

Hi all! Today I picked up my resume for my discs!

The summary was taken by Continental Premium Contact II.

with parameters 195x45x16

I settled on dimension 195.45. because 205 when turning out, the longe is rubbed, some people get out of the position like this

but for me this is not an option! Plus, it has higher rutting than the 195, and when loading from the rear, it rubs the rack against the seagull!

According to the profile, many people put it at 40, but on our roads it is very harsh, I chose between 45 and 50, but still decided on 45 because at 50 the car makes it seem like a tractor)

For me, 45 is the golden mean at radius 16!

Also important was the fact of the weight of the rubber; according to the size chart, I determined that a rubber with parameters 195x45x16 weighs about 8.5 kg!

Why did I start paying attention to these things?! And because when I had 17 rims I didn’t bother with the weight, but that was not the case. The unsprung mass turned out to be large, the weight of one rim with grooves was 22 kg, even in appearance the rim was very massive

What to replace with

If you're tired of your factory wheels, it's time to get something new. Lada Priora does not differ in design features, so the list will contain the most suitable products for updating the external style of the car.

Alloy wheels are affordable for many people, so it’s worth starting with them. Let's look at the companies and their main developments:

1. Skad is one of the most popular manufacturers of alloy wheels. Among the many models, pay your attention to the following: R14 Uran-2, R15 Magnum, R14 Fortuna, R14 Callisto, R15 Alligator, R15 Sting. Among the options there are classics and several original wheels that will help update the style of the car. Almost all models are reliable and have good impact resistance.
2. K&K - has more interesting models: R15 Torus, R15 Iguana, R15 Spark. High impact resistance and style - this is a brief description of products from K&K.
3. Alcasta - R14, R15 M32, R14, R16 M29 - simple inexpensive options.
4. If you want to install an R16, feel free to buy a Camrica, you won’t regret it.

While all of these models are recommended, you may want to choose something that suits your style better.

The ideal solution for many situations is to use 2 different sets of disks. For the Priora, the best choice for the summer is considered to be four stamped alloy wheels, and for winter it is worth choosing durable cast products. If you change them depending on the season, they will last much longer, so you won’t have to think about replacing them for a long time.

Options for summer

Now let’s look at which budget tires you can choose for the summer.

Viatti Strada Asimmetrico

The Strada Asimmetrico model from NShZi is available in all sizes allowed for installation on the VAZ 2115 (except for the low profile). The manufacturer positions it as a premium tire, which involuntarily brings a smile - in our country, sadly, there are simply no necessary specialists to create high-quality rubber.

There is also no reliable data on the characteristics of tires. All that remains is to focus on the type of tread. It is asymmetrical, with deep longitudinal drainage grooves.

This pattern gives the wheels directional stability, good handling, and quick response when braking. Whether this is really so, you will find out from your own experience.

According to reviews from Internet users, most of them are not disappointed in the driving characteristics of this model. Perhaps on a smooth highway it will yield to award-winning tires from European manufacturers, but it will definitely leave them behind where the asphalt ends.

AMTEL Planet 2P

If the winter AMTEL does not shine with its performance qualities, then for summer driving the Planet 2P model is an excellent solution, and not only for driving on asphalt.

The sufficiently deep tread relief makes driving on wet dirt roads hassle-free. The tire is wear-resistant, and what’s especially nice is that it’s inexpensive.

Cordiant Road Runner PS-1

The tread type of the Road Runner PS-1 model from Sibur-Russian Tires is rain. The tire is produced for cars of “B” and “C” classes, and is positioned as an option for active driving in city conditions. The presence of a breaker on the tire frame makes it resistant to deformation and mechanical stress.

If you pay attention to the tests conducted by the magazine "Behind the Wheel" in 2014, Cordiant was in the middle of the tests, ahead of such brands as BFGoodrich, Barum Brillantis 2 and Toyo Proxes CF2 in wet braking performance. When braking on a dry road, as well as when performing a maneuver on a wet one, the Road Runner PS-1 found itself, although not at the very tail, but close to it

When braking on a dry road, as well as when performing a maneuver on a wet one, the Road Runner PS-1 found itself, although not at the very tail, but close to it.

Kama Breeze-132

This model has proven itself quite well among owners of domestic cars. The optimal combination of quality and cost: good speed characteristics, cornering stability, unimpeded water drainage on wet asphalt. Great option for Lada 2115!

Triangle Group TE301

Many car owners look askance at Chinese tires. Sometimes this is true, but not in relation to Triangle. This is a very serious and large manufacturer, producing most standard sizes not only for passenger cars, but also for trucks.

The rubber is very soft, with good rain tread. It walks well not only on a flat road, but also on rough roads, and feels confident in the rain. The shoulder areas are reinforced, which provides stability when performing maneuvers. And what’s most important for many drivers is that it has a very affordable price.

Car owners usually decide which winter tires are best for a VAZ 2115 or what to change into in the summer, based on the budget allocated for these purposes. There is also a choice within one price segment, and it can be quite difficult for a person to make it.

Manufacturers and prices of analogues

The tires of the Lada Priora correspond to the size popular for budget cars, so suitable models can be found in the assortment of almost any manufacturer.

• A common budget brand that produces all-season tires is Kama. The products of the Nizhnekamsk plant include many models of all-season products. Price – from 1500 rubles.

VAZ 2107

There are several types of tires for the seven. The industry produces them in seasonal versions:

In order to save money, drivers prefer to install all-season wheels on their cars; their standard size is 175/70R13 82T, where:

175 — profile width;

70 is the ratio of the height to the width of the profile.

R - radial type tire.

13 — landing diameter.

82 - load capacity coefficient.

T is the highest speed developed by a car on such wheels.

Generation 2

In 2013, Lada Priora was updated. You shouldn't look for dramatic changes in the model's appearance, but new touches and details have appeared here. After restyling, the model received headlights with daytime running lights, brake lights and taillights with LEDs. Instead of a rectangular shape, the radiator grille was made pentagonal with a honeycomb cladding structure. The rear bumper received an energy-absorbing insert and a new design. However, the dimensions of the model remained the same.

There were much more changes in the interior. Inside the restyled Lada Priora, new finishing materials and modified seats have appeared, and the architecture of the front panel has changed. A color display with touch control was installed at the top of the center console. The seat backs have increased by 40 mm, which has a positive effect on comfort. The interior of the updated Lada Priora has become quieter.

In addition to design changes, the technical part has also been improved. The model has an improved suspension and new steering with a lower gear ratio. The main difference was the advanced 1.6-liter unit with dynamic supercharging producing 106 hp. The previous power plants remained available. The configurations did not change either. Lada Priora was still offered in “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux” versions with the following types of wheels and tires:

• 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 175/65R14;
• 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/65R14;
• 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/60R14;
• 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires – 195/60R14;
• 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 185/55R15;
• 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 195/55R15;
• 6.5J wheels on 16 ET35, tires – 195/50R16.

The model’s body was made of low-alloy steel and galvanized metal, which extended the warranty against corrosion to 6 years.
