Are Volga wheels suitable for Niva?

Sizes 235/75 and 240/80 R15

If the car is used for trips into nature (fishing, hunting), then it makes sense to bother installing more solid tires.
This will allow you to operate the car on any off-road conditions. But, for installation you will have to make some modifications, otherwise the new wheels simply will not fit into the wheel arches. The first thing to do is lift the suspension. This will increase ground clearance and eliminate the need to widen the arches. To do this, you can use a lifting kit from AvtoVAZ. It includes everything you need. The quality of the parts is quite high, you can also look at offers from companies producing tuning parts. Raising the car is not enough. It is necessary to modify the gearbox; the existing ones cannot cope with the increased load. Instead of the standard gear ratio of 3.9, 4.44 is installed. The last thing to do is increase the disc offset. To do this, use light alloy spacers. For greater reliability, it is advisable to install a hub with double-row bearings in the steering knuckle; they are more resistant to loads.

There are plenty of off-road tires of these sizes on the market. Choose the option that is most suitable for the cost, their quality is approximately the same.

Conclusion

. The Niva's standard tires do not quite meet modern requirements for off-road and all-purpose tires. Therefore, many are interested in what wheels can be installed on the Niva. In fact, the choice is quite large, but if you want to make a truly off-road car, you will have to tinker with modifying the suspension.

Which wheels are better, cast, stamped or forged? Review by AutoFlit

Absolutely every driver has at least once had the thought that it’s time to get bigger wheels. Because the stock Nyvka is, of course, good, but as they say - more wheels - more possibilities. Therefore, let’s figure out what a driver will have to face in order to install tires of a larger diameter and, in general, whether it’s worth doing. Here we will try to present everything as simply and clearly as possible, because looking for answers on forums is long and painful for many)) Because many people are absolutely not happy with driving the Vli-5))

Wheel size for white Niva 4×4

Since 2006, a more advanced model of the VAZ 2121, the Lada 4×4, has become available to the population, which has plug-in all-wheel drive without locking the center differential clutch. Fans of the brand began to actively look for this modification, and more often in the traditional white color. Around this time, specialized wheels with the following characteristics began to be produced for it:

• The main size installed in the basic configuration was stamped black wheels with parameters 5Jx16 ET58 5x139.7, which was suitable for tires with dimensions 175/80/R16. The central drilling and bolt pattern remained unchanged compared to models of previous years - the wheel was traditionally mounted on a hub with 5 studs of 139.7 mm each.
• The owners of these cars often tried to change only the width of the seat on the rim for mounting the tire, and almost never changing the radius, because the target audience of the brand was completely defined - the SUV was used for its intended purpose. Thus, the most popular wheel sizes installed on Niva 4x4 are 6.5Jx15 ET15, 6.5Jx15 ET35, 7Jx15 ET15, 7Jx16 ET15, which corresponded to wheel widths of 185, 195, 2022, 215 and 225 mm, and the profile at the same time it remained within 75-80 mm for better cross-country ability.

Exclusive wheels for Niva Also, car enthusiasts often turn to paint shops, where their alloy wheels are professionally painted by craftsmen in the required color both over the entire surface of the steel and locally. The driver just needs to drive the car, agree on a paint sketch with the designer or offer his own, for example, from a catalogue, designate the required color (usually black or white), and the next day pick up the finished product and use unique wheels.

Niva Urban 2121

A new model, available in several versions. The dimensions remained unchanged. Exactly the same as a regular Niva, R16 wheels are used. The main one is 185 / 75 / R16.

To make it easier to choose the wheel size for Niva Urban, we provide a summary table of popular parameters.

Dimensions and weight of wheels for GAZ 3110

Not all car enthusiasts were limited to the factory supply, and many of them purchased additional wheels to replace worn or lost ones, and sometimes simply to enhance the effect of the car’s exterior. The GAZ concern allows the use of a fairly wide range of wheels, both in “stamping” and in cast or forged versions.

If we are talking about wheels with a radius of R15, then the manufacturer allows replacement with a size of 6.0J-7.0J × 15 ET3845, however, it should be remembered that on Volgas the wheel is very recessed deep into the wheel arch, and therefore the larger offset, the deeper the wheel sits. This means that the impressive appearance of this car on good wheels gives a smaller offset, and after fitting the driver can also use an ET value of less than 38 mm.

• Review of rims for Volga car

When the Volga owner uses cast or forged wheels with a radius of R16, the size can range from 6.0J-7.5J × 16 ET32-45, and tires, respectively, 195-225/55/R16.

All wheels with a 16 radius, as a rule, weigh about 10 kg, and forged ones - 2.5-3 kg less. The most popular and reliable brands under which Volga wheels are produced, with the exception of those listed above, are CatWild, K&K, LegeArtis and some other domestic and foreign companies.

Alloy wheels R16

Many car enthusiasts do not stop at the factory wheel sizes and often purchase them with a radius of R17 or even R18, installing tires with a profile of 40-45 mm on them, however, it should be remembered that a small air gap does not provide a proper buffer between the wheels and road unevenness. This means that vibration loads can be transmitted to the car’s suspension, as well as to the interior, which will cause increased wear of parts or driver discomfort in the cabin.

How to extend the life of disks

The lifespan of new wheels depends on several factors:

• Purity. Dirt and, in particular, aggressive substances that are used to combat ice, destroy the protective coating and promote corrosion. Therefore, dirty wheels must be cleaned and washed immediately.
• Timely repairs. Paintwork defects, dents and metal cracks must be repaired immediately after they appear. Otherwise, the problem grows exponentially.
• Correct tire fitting. Often, discs become deformed or scratched as a result of the actions of unscrupulous or inexperienced tire service workers. Therefore, if possible, you need to use the services of trusted professionals.
• Driving style. The main danger to wheels is road potholes, into which the car “flies” at high speed. Therefore, the more careful the driver and the calmer the driving style, the longer the discs will last.

Important: it is not advisable to use “bracelets” - snow chains. They damage paintwork and scratch metal.

What to look for when choosing off-road wheels

For such purposes of use, special samples are selected. Their main condition is the width, which will be slightly more than half the width of the tire. For example, for a rim whose width is 10 cm, a 12.5-inch tire is suitable.

SCAD Titan wheels for Niva (Niva), Chevrolet Niva, Lada 4×4

Such criteria are selected taking into account the fact that when driving off-road, the air from the tire will gradually be released, while increasing the width of the rubber on the sides. This effect is of great importance, as it increases the contact surface of the wheel and provides the VAZ 2121 and 21214 Niva with better traction.

Of course, nothing prevents you from installing off-road tires on narrower rims. But at the same time, the width of the rubber will decrease, and so will the contact plane. Although such a change also has its advantages. For example, when driving on a hard dirt surface, narrower tires will grip the road better due to the larger protrusion of the treads. But when driving through a swamp or other similar soil, they will go worse than a rim on wide tires.

If you decide to install wheels with flattened tires on your VAZ 21214, then be sure to install additional fasteners on them - beadlocks. They will keep the tires in place during any maneuvers, braking, or slipping. A cheaper fixing option is to put the tires on a sealant. But this method is very unreliable.

15" tire options

Tire sizes 19570R15 and 20570R15 are specified as acceptable for use by the Niva manufacturer. In this size you can already find quite a lot of relatively inexpensive and at the same time good winter tires.

For example, among studded options, the following models are quite popular:

• Viatti Vettore Inverno
• Amtel NordMaster
• Nexen Winguard WinSpike
• Cordiant SnowCross
• Gislaved NordFrost 100
• Yokohama F700Z
• Yokohama IceGuard IG35
• Matador MP 30
• Kumho WinterCraft ice

Among the non-studded tires in this size, the following models are suitable for the Niva:

• Tunga Nordway
• Nexen Winguard ice
• Viatti Vettore Brina
• Nokian Nordman RS
• Yokohama IceGuard IG 30
• Sava Eskimo Ice
• Dunlop Graspic DS3
• Kumho KW 7400
• Toyo Observe Gsi-5
• …

And there are quite a lot of different tire models, the cost of which will be more expensive than the models listed above.

By the way, it should be noted that the manufacturer recommends size 20575R15 as standard tires for the Chevrolet Niva. However, the choice of such tires is also quite scarce. Therefore, many owners install the same models described above as winter tires on Chevy Niva.

Alloy wheels R16

Many car enthusiasts do not stop at the factory wheel sizes and often purchase them with a radius of R17 or even R18, installing tires with a profile of 40-45 mm on them, however, it should be remembered that a small air gap does not provide a proper buffer between the wheels and road unevenness. This means that vibration loads can be transmitted to the car’s suspension, as well as to the interior, which will cause increased wear of parts or driver discomfort in the cabin.

Types of disks

According to the material and method of manufacturing parts, wheels are divided into three main types:

• Stamped. The simplest and cheapest products are made by stamping from rolled steel. They are inexpensive and, in case of deformation of the rim, are easily restored. However, the stamping is too heavy, which affects the car’s handling and the life of the suspension parts. Also, stamped products bend easily and rust quickly. Price - from 1500 rubles.

• Cast. Wheels made of aluminum and other light alloys are at least 20% lighter than steel. They look attractive, are highly durable and do not rust. But light alloy wheels are much more expensive than stamped ones and are more fragile. Unlike steel ones, they can crack or burst from a strong impact. Price - from 3000 rubles.
• Forged. The difference with cast wheels is that these wheels undergo additional mechanical and heat treatment. After which lighter and stronger products are obtained. Forged wheels are more resistant to corrosion than cast wheels. But they are the most expensive. Price - from 3900 rubles.

What wheel rim sizes are suitable for the Volga 105?

So, when choosing wheels for this model, a car enthusiast should pay attention to the following features:

• The bolt pattern and drilling must be absolutely identical to other similar modifications of the brand, 58.1 mm and 5×108 mm, respectively.
• To choose wheels, you need to be guided by the place where the car is constantly used, because when driving on smooth asphalt in the city, you can buy beautiful R16 or R17 wheels.
• If a person operates his “iron horse” outside the city, in mud or deep snow, he should remember that the discs can be easily scratched, and there is no point in spending a lot of money on them. So, here you can consider high-quality “stamping” made in Russia, the cost of which for R15 does not exceed 1.5-1.8 thousand rubles.*
• It is worth carefully monitoring the ET indicator, since its too high value will drown the wheels under the wheel arches, and when cornering they will touch plastic or metal elements. If, on the contrary, the wheels are too wide and the offset is small, you need to pay attention to the fit around the calipers and also to the fact that the rims with tires may extend beyond the transverse dimensions of the vehicle, which will lead to rapid contamination of the body.

Forged wheels, with their great strength, have less weight than their analogues, which gives better dynamic parameters, as well as fuel economy, and over time the products will easily pay for themselves, especially if the driver uses the car often.

Wheels from the Volga will fit on the Niva

Dear Volga drivers, please tell me whether Niva wheels are suitable for Gas 2410? The bolt pattern is the same 5x139.7, but I don’t know about the offset and other things. And then the option turned up to buy excellent size 17 wheels that were on the Niva, so I’m in a stupor as to whether they will fit. And the same question, but about UAZ wheels, the bolt pattern seems to be the same

Comments 13

guys... greetings... the problem is finding wheels for gas-31029 205*70*14... interchangeability from the Niva only with spacers, if set to 15? So without spacers, what wheels can be replaced?

From UAZ 15e, they rest against the upper threaded and steering rod. You need to install an 18mm spacer. and more. Longer studs are needed. And behind them they will scratch the tires on the springs.

In general, everything is simple: the Volga has 0 offset on its rims, and the Niva has 45-50. those. If you put standard Nivov wheels on a Volga (I mean standard in reach, not in diameter), then they will stupidly rest against the body and will not stand up at all. BUT, Mr. Sprut, you're in luck) I have five-centimeter spacers for Volgov hubs, just for tightening up Niv wheels. If necessary, write in a personal message.

Re: 14R wheels for Niva

Post by Denis HUNTER » 02 Oct 2010, 13:53

It's their appearance that I personally like. But what does this entail, I would like to know?

Mikha: Lower speed than the speedometer; decrease in ground clearance by 2 cm compared to standard wheels => deterioration in cross-country ability; It’s not clear from the photo what the offset is, if it’s around 0, then there’s a lot of load on the wheel bearings.

How to measure offset, and what should it be?

Captain: 14″ wheels with an offset slightly greater than zero simply won’t fit on the field.

In general, the normal offset of 16″ Niva wheels according to the drawing is 58 mm, this is optimal from the point of view of controllability and stability when braking, but with such an offset the inner wheel bearing always fails before the outer one (in the limit, its fit on the hub wears out). An offset of 35-45 mm is more optimal from the point of view of the durability of wheel bearings (all conclusions about durability are made based on the experience of repairing many dozens of cars), although with an offset of 40, the fit of the internal bearing on the hub wears out earlier (the internal one is closer to the middle of the car). An offset of less than 30 mm is a necessary measure when installing other wheels; it has no advantages. Portada: According to Murzilka, the offset of Niva wheels is 48-58. vitalauskas: I have Volga size 205/70/14, I also took them with these

I want to add that the steering wheel is harder to turn, without arch covers it throws dirt, mom don’t worry

Thanks everyone for the answers.

Nuances of choosing wheels for Niva - sizes, offset, brands

What kind of discs are given to the Niva “by nature”? Well, more precisely, the dimensions that are given to this car from the manufacturer. If you look at its “native” disk parameters, they look like this: 5J x 16 H2 ET=58, DIA=98, PCD=5 x 139, 7. In short, there is a complete confusion with the sizes of the “rollers”. Therefore, we will describe what each of what is written means:

5J - this means that a 5-inch wide wheel can be “stretched” on this disk. And “J” indicates the presence of one shoulder on the disk. The parameter is not “critical” and may vary (depending on the tire model).

16 is the diameter of the wheel rim, which is indicated in inches.

H2 - means that the disk design is equipped with two hunts. A hunt is a ring-shaped protrusion that is located along the edge of the disk. Serves for reliable fixation of tubeless type tires during the displacement of the impact force on the plane of the working surface of the tire relative to its center. Or simply put, to hold the rubber on the skating rink during maneuvering. Since many models of off-road tires have a tubeless design, the presence of two handles for an extreme disc is mandatory.

ET – this is the designation for disc offset and its size in millimeters. It is allowed to change the value from the standard downward, which does not exceed 10 mm. The smaller the offset value, the greater the distance between the wheels of your Niva.

DIA is the millimeter diameter of the hub hole.

PCD - indicates the number of holes for fasteners, and then the diameter of the circle in which they are located.

Also, do not forget that you can “shod” your Niva with rollers from Shevik. They will fit on the car without any additional lifting or cutting of the arches. For off-road fifteen-inch rollers on Niva, the acceptable parameters are:

6. 0J x 15 ET=48 – for stamped models of off-road wheels.

6. 5J x 15 ET=40 – for cast disk models.

It is better to select the disk diameter after choosing off-road tires. So, if you are planning to “shoe” your Niva in a cool way (in the Bogger Super Swamper), then this tire is available in 15 and 16 inch versions. While Forward Safari 500 is only 15.

Basics of selecting wheels for Niva off-road

For off-road use, special wheel models are selected with a width of about 60% of the tire width. So, for a 12.5-inch tire you need to take a 10-inch wide rim.

Such a selection is necessary in the case when air is bleed from the wheels during off-road driving. In this case, the width of the rubber changes on the sides (“in the cheeks”). Here it matters more than the size of the tread contact area width.

If you “pull” off-road tires onto narrower rims, the side bulge will be significantly reduced. And this will lead to increased “toothiness” of the tread on the side. But to overcome swamps, it is better to use discs that have larger widths.

— With a departure from 0 and towards increasing. The optimal overhang values ​​are from 20 to 35 mm. If it is more, then it is possible that the rubber will rub against the wheel arch.

If you decide to “flatten” the tires and ride with virtually no pressure, then you need to acquire additional beadlocks. They will keep tires that are trying to slide off the rims at any pressure and at any turn. A cheaper fixing option is to glue the rubber with sealant along the edge to the disc.

Tell me, what are the pros and cons of installing wheels from the 24th Volga on the Niva? Do I need to change anything for them? I just don’t have studded tires, and Volgov’s 15’s and wheels are much cheaper than Niv’s. Thank you. P.S. I drive mainly around the city and suburbs, I don’t go into the wilds.

“So you drove a fucking Volga. and I was in casting (factory directors in the Soviet of Deputies were driven in such Volgas) and stampings on 24 and 2410 and 29 and sales on the old 02 were also 14.” Fortunately, I didn’t drive them. I’m glad for you that you were so lucky. And most of the Volgar grandfathers go for stamping. They may have been 14 from the factory, but they also fit 15. “during the technical inspection, we didn’t get to the bottom of the wheels even once” So I was just lucky.

Tips for selecting car wheels for Volga

In order to choose the right wheels for GAZ 3102, 3110, 31105, drivers need to know some subtleties, taking into account which they can always get the result they are interested in, never regret it and operate the car without problems for years.

The second important point is when choosing, try not to exceed the dimension dictated by the factory by more than 1-2 orders of magnitude, because the loads on the hubs during maneuvers or driving on problem roads may not be designed for strength, and this will lead to failure of the fastening elements, shock absorbers, brake system and other parts of the body bolster.

When choosing universal tires, you should not install wheels with a radius higher than 15 mm due to the profile of the rubber.

You should try the wheel on the car, since the bolt pattern indicates that the studs should fit perfectly into the holes for them, and after installing the wheel, the nut should make at least 6 full turns before it is tightened with a wrench. Only in this case can you drive a car without fear of breaking the wheels.

The GAZ 3110 is almost a rare car today, and its owners often spend much more money on it than it costs as a 9-10-year-old vehicle. However, using common sense, you can understand that expensive rims for the GAZ 3110, together with the same tires, can reach a cost of 30% of the price of the car.

Exclusive wheels for Volga

Spend 10-15 thousand rubles. for a disk does not make any sense, and the optimal purchase would be to purchase R16 wheels in a cast version from a domestic manufacturer with a price of no more than 5 thousand rubles. per product.

*Prices are current as of December 2022.

Drilling or bolting of disks is recorded as two numbers (for example, 4x100). The first number shows the number of hub bolts on the disk. The second (called PCD) is the diameter of the circle (in millimeters) where these bolts are located. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to install wheels that have a bolt pattern different from the factory one. Do you know what the bolt pattern of Niva 4x4 wheels is?

The bolt pattern of Niva 2121/2131 rims is 5×139.7. This means the disc is held on by 5 bolts, which are located at a diameter of 139.7 mm.

Hub repair: popular mistakes and misconceptions

Connoisseurs of tuned cars are often able to make radical changes to their cars. And few restrictions exist for them. Owners of Niva Chevrolet are no exception. Tuning fans also took a look at the design of the front hub assembly. Often on online forums in discussions you can find advice (and even corresponding training videos) about replacing the bearing using a hub mechanism that has a steering knuckle from a VAZ 2121 car, since it is believed that this design is better in terms of reliability.

However, this is a misconception. Yes, tightening will occur without any difficulties, but this will make it impossible to adjust the camber of the front wheel of the car. The fact is that each fist has distinct differences in size and axial angles. But much more stupid are the tips that require turning the hub and shaft on a lathe.

Repairs such as replacing a wheel bearing in a field can be done independently without much difficulty. Wheel bearings on the VAZ 2121 and Chevrolet Niva have a very short resource due to the suspension design, compared to other all-wheel drive vehicles, therefore, these parts need to be given increased attention in order to identify the fault in time.

Replacing a wheel bearing in the field does not involve anything complicated if you follow the instructions strictly. Anyone, even a novice car owner, can cope with such repairs. Not all vases have wheel bearings changed the same way. The design of the Niva car hub differs from the design of other VAZ models, so the process of replacing the bearing will also have its differences.

Also interesting: Niva or UAZ - which is better?

Symptoms and identification of a worn wheel bearing

When the life of the hub bearing is running out, a hum is clearly audible when driving, this is the main sign. If you listen, you can understand which direction this hum is coming from. When driving at low speeds, it is not too noticeable, and it can easily be confused with noise from rubber, but as speed increases, the hum increases, which is reminiscent of flying in an airplane. You can’t drive with a humming bearing, because soon it may simply break into pieces, and this implies a lot of other problems.

If there is an assumption that the bearing has exhausted its service life, then you can check this with the car parked. To do this, you need to jack up the wheel whose bearing is suspected and pull the wheel vertically with your hands. If there is play, then the bearing is most likely to blame.

Necessary tools for work

• Jack and supports. To replace the front bearing, you need to lift both wheels, otherwise the stabilizer will interfere, pinching the suspension elements;
• Wrench for unscrewing wheel nuts;
• Flathead screwdriver. To remove the protective cap;
• Head 27;
• Locksmith's beard. To straighten the collar of the hub nut;
• Hammer;
• Wrenches for 10, 17, 19 and 22;
• Chisel and wooden spacer. To avoid damaging other parts when knocking out;
• Vise;
• A piece of pipe for pressing in bearing retaining rings.

Bearing replacement process

• Loosen the nuts on the wheel where replacement is planned and jack up both wheels of the axle. Remove the desired wheel;
• We dismantle the caliper and guide. To avoid damaging the brake hose, we tie the caliper to the upper arm with wire;
• Having removed the protective cap, use a 27mm head to unscrew the hub bearing nut and remove the conical bushing;
• Using a chisel, unbend the locking plate of the front and rear lever mounting nuts. Using a 19mm wrench, unscrew the front and rear nuts securing the lever. After this, remove the locking plate;
• When the lever is released, it must be moved away from the steering knuckle, freeing the brake hose;
• Disconnect the ball joints (upper and lower) from the lever;
• Now you can remove the entire steering knuckle assembly, along with the ball joints and the brake disc, by removing it from the CV joint splines;
• Separate the steering knuckle from the hub with the brake disc. If the parts do not separate freely, then we clamp the fist in a vice and, using a soft metal drift or chisel, through a spacer from wood, knock out the hub with the brake disc;
• Next, pull out the bolts securing the lever and knock down the protective ring with a chisel;
• Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the bolt that secures the casing and remove the casing itself;
• We hold the fist in a vice and, using a flat-head screwdriver, pry up and remove the wheel bearing seal. There is a metal ring behind the oil seal, we also remove it;
• The next step is to remove the inner ring of the outer bearing assembly from the well. Next, we also remove the oil seal, metal ring and inner bearing ring assembly;
• Using a punch and a hammer, we knock out the metal rings of the outer and inner bearings. At this point, dismantling is considered complete.

After cleaning the well from old grease, you can proceed to installing a new bearing. Replacing a wheel bearing in a field occurs in the reverse order; it is only important not to forget to fill it with fresh Litol 24 grease and, after installing the steering knuckle on the car, adjust the clearance in the bearings.

Size

Wheel rim parameters are determined by the following indicators:

• Width (J).
• External diameter (R).
• Bolt pattern - the number of bolt holes and the radius at which their centers are located (PCD).
• Reach is the distance from the mating plane in contact with the hub to the axle (ET).
• Center hole diameter (DIA).

Given the size of the wheel arches, it is possible to install seventeen-inch wheels with tires whose outer radius does not exceed 31”.

Increasing the rim size changes the characteristics of the car:

• Improves directional stability and controllability.
• The braking distance is reduced.
• Off-road capability is increasing.

However, as the radius increases, the likelihood of tire and rim damage increases. The machine becomes “harder” and the level of vibration increases.

Chevrolet Niva wheels are secured with five bolts, the location of which depends on the offset:

The center hole diameter is 98.5 mm, and the rim width ranges between 6-6.5 inches.

Technical characteristics of engines on Niva

Since the domestic car has been so advertised, let's take a look at the technical characteristics of the Niva 2121 internal combustion engine. They are all recorded in the table.

The Niva's fuel consumption is as low as all small cars. Car owners often change their gasoline engine to a diesel engine for their Niva Chevrolet. Let's take a look at the advantages obtained by installing this engine and the negative aspects that the owner has to face.

Which cars are suitable for Niva 4x4 wheels?

List of cars with wheel bolt pattern like Niva 4x4 (5x139.7):

1. Niva chevrolet
2. Volga (GAZ 31024, 29), depending on the year of manufacture.
3. Suzuki Escudo
4. Suzuki Jimni

Let us remind you that before installing wheels on the Niva, make sure that the other parameters correspond to the factory ones (offset, rim width and centering hole). For example, the Kia Sorento has wheels with a bolt pattern like the Niva, but the centering hole is smaller. The latest generation Suzuki Grand Vitara, on the contrary, has a large central hole diameter. And the Kia Sportage (1994-2004) may have different disc offsets.

Chevrolet Niva is a compact Russian SUV that AvtoVAZ, together with GM, began producing in 2002. From 2004 to 2008 was the best-selling car with increased off-road capability, which was explained by the car’s attractive appearance, permanent all-wheel drive, excellent maintainability and low price. The model is still popular, especially in rural areas.

Now on the roads of Russia you can find both quite old Chevys and completely new ones, because the Chevrolet Niva is still in production and is in demand. Naturally, sooner or later, all Chevy owners are faced with the need to replace wheel rims: some do this for practical reasons, and others for aesthetic reasons, because in most cases the car is equipped with nondescript “stamping”.

Which tires are best for Niva by season?

Lada 4x4 is a car that requires careful selection of tires, because it serves in extreme conditions. The preference for one option or another should depend not only on how budget-friendly it is, but also whether it is really the best tire for a particular season or type of surface.

It is important to take into account all the characteristics of the wheels:

• winter;
• all-season;
• mud.

This will prevent you from spending extra money.

Summer tires

Strictly summer tires for Niva are not a very common occurrence. In most cases, these are standard passenger wheels of appropriate parameters, which are used for driving on asphalt roads. Factory VLI-5 are also suitable for this role.

Winter tires

The Niva is an SUV, so the logical choice of winter tires for it is considered toothy. Although Velcro is sometimes used, they still have a different function; they perform best in urban environments.

For driving on snowy roads, the manufacturer equips the car with narrow and high tires with a diameter of 16 inches by default. Finding truly high-quality tires with parameters 18575R16 at an affordable price is not so easy. Usually, in the stock configuration, the Niva owner has two options: Voltyre VLI-5 or VLI-10. They are cheap, but have such disadvantages as rubber hardening and short service life. You can't drive through the taiga on such wheels.

An alternative to the standard equipment is a large family of 15-inch tires. In particular, studs with parameters 19570 and 20570 at R15 can be easily installed without lifting. Catalogs of manufacturing plants can boast of a large assortment of products of this type. You can learn more about them in the video.

Universal tires

Universal or all-season tires are used for driving at any time of the year and on all types of road surfaces. But since it is difficult to create equally good tires suitable for road driving and for all-terrain vehicles, most manufacturers still focus on certain qualities of the wheels. Such tires are made in nickel size, that is, quite large in size.

Mud tires

Most car owners buy Lada 4x4 for driving outside the city, off-road. This means that it must be sufficiently passable in the mud. This is what special all-terrain tires are designed to provide.

There are special models whose cross-country ability allows them to go on any off-road. Such professional wheels are classified as “extreme”. Extreme tires are able to overcome the most difficult off-road conditions, including swamps. But they are large, which requires lifting and are expensive.

You will also need to cut out the arches to install agricultural wheels from Belka, but tires from a tractor are an order of magnitude cheaper and have decent cross-country ability. But there is also a special evil catfish, which makes it possible to overcome mud without a major upgrade of the car.
