The choice of wheels for the VAZ-2107 is important for car owners. Properly selected tires provide stability and controllability, fast acceleration and easy braking, smooth ride and safety on the road. They receive torque from the car's engine and contribute to the movement of the vehicle due to traction.

A brief overview will help you figure out what kind of wheels and tires to put on the “seven”, how seasonality affects the choice of wheels, and what type of tread is best suited for different weather conditions.

Disk options

When choosing wheels for a VAZ 2107, strength, balancing and wheel sizes are taken into account. The main parameters that people pay attention to when purchasing are radius and width. The manufacturer equipped the car with standard wheels marked 5Jx13H2 ET29. The numbers and letters indicate the following:

“5” – rim width, in inches;
“J” – profile;
“13” – disc rim diameter, in inches;
“H2” – number of humps on the wheel rim;
“ET” – letter designation of wheel rim offset;
“29” – rim offset, in mm.

Valid disk parameters are:

The number of holes and the diameter of the circle on the wheel rims (bolt pattern) is 4x98 mm.
Hub diameter – 58.5 mm.
Rim diameter – 13-15”.
Wheel offset – 15 – 30 mm.
Recommended width is 5.0-6.0”.
Fastening elements – M12x1.25.

It is better not to install wider rims on the “seven”. You need to select the appropriate tires for them. They are larger in size than the size of the fender liners, and can touch or rub against the structural elements of the car.

Consequences of installing wide disks:

Rapid contamination of the side parts of the machine.
When the wheels turn, they rub against the side member and wings of the body, which leads to intense wear and damage to the car.
While driving, the tires can touch the brakes, and this can lead to an accident on the road.
Increased wear on wheel hub bearings, as they will bear more load.

Discs with a small rim offset (the disc will protrude more outward from the car) are also not installed. The hub bearing takes on most of the load, so it can quickly fail or jam.

Discs are divided into forged, stamped and cast. The “seven” is equipped with stamped steel wheels by the manufacturer. They have an average safety margin, are inexpensive and have a long service life. The disadvantage of the equipment is the need for periodic rust treatment, which leads to a rapid loss of appearance.

Particular attention is paid to the 4x98 bolt pattern. The rim has 4 holes for mounting bolts that secure it. The diameter of the circle with holes is 98 mm. The distance between the centers of two closely spaced mounts for the VAZ 2107 is 69.3 mm. In discs used on foreign-made cars, the bolt pattern is 4x100, the distance between centers is 70.7 mm. When installing such imported equipment on a VAZ, an error of 1.4 mm appears, due to which the disk is not secured and is quickly damaged. Therefore, car owners use studs, extended bolts, spacers and eccentrics as fastenings. Incorrect installation leads to imbalance and vibration, wheel fallout and further accidents.

Wheel spacers for SS20 SPORT wheels

Wheel spacers (or wheel spacers) are an attribute of the sporty style of a car. Installing spacers under the wheels allows you to increase the wheelbase of the car, give it a more aggressive and sporty appearance, as well as improve driving dynamics, stability and controllability of the car.

Applicability

Advantages of using SS20 wheel spacers in VAZ cars

widens the vehicle track;
gives the car a more aggressive and sporty look;
makes it possible to install wider tires and rims on the car that differ in offset from the original ones;
allows you to avoid wheel rims and tires from touching suspension parts;
increases stability and reduces the likelihood of the vehicle tipping over during high-speed cornering;
made of light and durable aluminum alloy, using high-precision equipment, with strict observance of parallelism and axial runout.

Guarantee

Wheel spacers are made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, using high-quality equipment, with strict observance of parallelism and axial runout. Spacers SS20 SPORT are designed for all brands of VAZ and Chevrolet Lacetti cars.

Wheel spacers SS20 for VAZ cars with a thickness of up to 12 mm inclusive are manufactured without a central shoulder. Over 12 mm thick with a central collar.

Centering the wheels of standard VAZ vehicles relative to the axis of rotation of the hub is carried out along the chamfers of the mounting holes of the wheel rims and the conical surfaces of the wheel bolts. The presence or absence of a central flange on the track expansion spacer does not in any way affect the alignment of the wheel relative to the hub. Those. Regardless of whether there is a shoulder on the spacer or no such shoulder, the wheel will in any case be centered on the hub using the bolts.

The wheel spacer itself is centered relative to the hub along the central hole, which fits onto the hub shoulder.

We accept orders for the production of wheel spacers of any complexity for all cars.

What tire sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

Tires for a car are a kind of “part” that is available in a large assortment, so when choosing, some difficulties may arise. Taking into account the manufacturer’s recommendations when choosing one option or another is an opportunity to avoid difficulties and obtain the appropriate ease of use.

The VAZ 2107 car is a multifunctional vehicle that is suitable for country trips, for driving around the city, for transporting large luggage (within the capabilities of a passenger car), and so on. And therefore, tires must be as strong, reliable and wear-resistant as possible to prevent inconvenience and danger.

According to manufacturers, the best option is considered to be 175/70R13 82T tires, since the ratio of the width of the tire profile to its height is an opportunity to get comfortable driving without disturbing the balance of the car.

The key feature of VAZ 2107 cars is that only 13 radius is ideal here, that is, the standard option that presents the car from its best side in terms of decorative and technical design. R14 and R15 are already non-standard sizes, so they slightly change the axis of the car, raising the body and “opening” the clearance between the bumper and the road surface.

Features of tires VAZ 2110-2112, VAZ 2114-2115

But for the VAZ 2110-2112 family, tires of sizes 175/70 R13, 175/65 R14 and 185/60 R14 are considered standard, it all depends on the configuration of the car. At the same time, the best winter tires for a VAZ 2110 will be with the first two sizes, the latter has a low profile; it is better to purchase summer tires with this size. But in general, what size winter tires to install on a VAZ 2112 is up to the car owner to decide.

The VAZ 2114-2115 models also use the same tires as the VAZ 2110 family. Therefore, which winter tires are better for the VAZ 2115 is a matter of preference.

As you can see, there are no clear recommendations on which winter tires are better for the VAZ 2114 and which ones for the VAZ 2106. Many factors are taken into account here, such as financial capabilities, preference for certain tire features, even winter conditions influence the choice.

What non-standard sizes can be supplied?

The VAZ 2107 car is a classic that can be tuned and improved using simple and very affordable methods. Among the most relevant is the bottom of the car by using wheels of a larger radius than stated by the manufacturer. But here you need to take into account some points to avoid inconvenience when using:

The main place of operation of the vehicle. As practice shows, when using a car outside the city, a high bottom position simplifies movement, since in conditions of uneven road surfaces the likelihood of the car skidding and damaging the bumpers is reduced.
Personal requirements of the motorist. For some, it is ideal when the car is “lowered”, and for others, when its position is a little higher than the standard. Determining personal requirements is an opportunity to avoid inconvenience when choosing and using a car.

Experimental option

There are even experimental options when the R18 is installed on the “seven”, thanks to which the car takes on the appearance of an SUV. But here you need to take into account a couple of nuances:

Manufacturers do not just come up with optimal wheel radii for their cars, since they take into account the technical parameters and capabilities of the vehicle, so any deviations are fraught with a violation of driving comfort.
It is necessary to adjust the suspension so that the car can cope smoothly with uneven road surfaces without creating inconvenience for passengers.
There is a possibility that the wheels will touch the car body when the steering wheel is turned completely, and this not only creates inconvenience, but can also cause a violation of safety when driving the vehicle.
The use of a large diameter is fraught with a violation of the geometric properties of the car body, so it is advisable to consult with specialists who will evaluate the technical properties of the car and determine whether the selected 18th wheel radius is suitable.

Replacing wheels on a VAZ 2107

How to change a wheel on a VAZ 2107? The replacement procedure is the most standard, however, there are points that you need to know about. In this chapter we will walk through the entire process step by step.

First of all, you need to choose the right place in which to install the car. If possible, it should be level so that the car cannot roll under its own weight, the base should be asphalt or concrete so that the jack stop is more reliable.

Advice! If you are forced to change wheels on gravel or snow, then you need to use wide jack stands that will not allow you to push through an unreliable base, for example, a wide board.

If trouble happens on the road and an urgent replacement is needed, it is recommended to park the car so that you are protected from passing cars. That is, if you change the left tire, you take a position on the left side of the road (oncoming traffic), and vice versa.

To prevent the car from moving away, it must be secured. To do this, use the handbrake or put it in gear. Better yet, do both.

If you are going to lift both rear wheels at the same time, be sure to place wheel chocks or bricks under the front ones.

It often happens that the jack cannot stand it and breaks. Also, it may initially be installed incorrectly by you, which will lead to its failure.

In such cases, you need to insure the car from falling and yourself from unnecessary injuries - place a spare tire directly under the car box. You can also use any strong stop that will not damage the paintwork.

Take the wheel wrench and unscrew the 4 bolts that hold the disc. They can be tightened very tightly, so a lot of force will have to be applied. It is best to use a cross-shaped wrench as it has more leverage.

Advice! Many people kick the key, but you can’t do that. A sharp blow can break both the key and the bolt, which will then be very difficult to unscrew. Therefore, if you can’t move the fastener by hand, you can carefully stand on the edge of the key and push it down with a slight rocking motion.

We do not completely unscrew the bolts, but only loosen them.

The required wheel should be raised above the ground using a jack.

You can use the original one on one rack with a lever, or any other, under a passenger car. Use of the original jack requires caution.

The fact is that if the lever is not installed deep enough into the seat (it is held in place by jamming), it can break off, and if you overdo it, there is a risk of damaging the paint. For this reason, such jacks are practically not produced or used today.

Having raised the car to a height, you can place a high stop under the box for additional security. Next, unscrew the bolts completely and move them to the side. Now they will go easily, perhaps you can even do it with your hands without a key.

We remove the wheel and quickly install a new one in its place.

Please note that there are two studs on the hub - they must fit into the small holes on the disk. This will help you hold the wheel with your hand while you tighten the bolts.

Screw in the bottom bolt first so that the wheel does not warp, then the rest in any order. Tighten the fasteners as far as possible with a wrench, remove all supports from under the box and lower the car to the ground.

Then again you will have to make significant efforts to tighten the bolts. Do everything securely so that loads and vibrations do not loosen the wheel during operation.

Winter time requires motorists to prepare their cars for difficult weather conditions. A misconception is that in winter you can use all-season or summer tires. This type is technologically not intended for use in winter.

What is the tire pressure

Tire pressure must correspond not only to generally established standards, but also to the individual preferences of the motorist, so that he is provided with the characteristic convenience when driving. An important point is that pressure affects the stability of the car, its maneuverability and practicality.

If we take into account the standard, then for the front wheels of a VAZ 2107 a pressure of 1.6-1.7 atmospheres is suitable, but for the rear wheels it is within 2.0 atmospheres, since we are talking about a large load due to the location of the luggage compartment, so this is how it is formed uniformity and smoothness of movement.

But there are some points that need to be taken into account for the comfortable and practical use of the vehicle. In the winter season, the pressure must be sufficient, that is, within normal limits, to be able to comfortably cope with poor road surfaces. But in the summer, you can inflate the wheels a little lower than normal, since this ensures a soft ride and practicality.

The fact is that in winter, normal tire pressure is required, since this preserves endurance and practicality in movement without inconvenience.

How to avoid wheel theft

To protect wheels from theft, some use “secrets,” as they are called. This is a bolt that cannot be unscrewed with standard tools, but only with an individual special key, available only to the owner of the car.

Various methods are used to protect such fasteners. For example, the head of a bolt can be made in the shape of an irregular polygon or a completely arbitrary figure; one of the profiles is sometimes shifted to the side. A perforated profile with holes of various diameters and depths is also used. You cannot determine the reliability of secrets by looking at their profile; it is more important to use products from proven and reliable manufacturers.

Usually, in order not to ruin the secret bolt, it is tightened with less force. Because of this, such wheel bolts in the VAZ 2109 are placed one on each wheel. Unfortunately, in our country there are still people who like to “take off” your car’s shoes, so the topic of secret locks remains relevant for now.

All these secrets make it difficult for lovers of easy money to remove the wheels, they make it difficult. Because if you have time, you can unscrew everything, but thieves have little time.

Therefore, in order to most effectively protect your wheels, you should follow several rules.

It is better to buy expensive secrets, this helps to avoid matching products. Because when producing unique secrets, after some time the cycle repeats, and there is some chance of repetition of parts. But in expensive products such coincidences are excluded.
If you buy alloy wheels, it is better to choose ones in which the secrets would be “recessed” inside the disk rather than on the surface. They are more difficult to unscrew.
It is worth purchasing bolts with a flat pattern at the top of the head, which is not sharpened to a key. (For example, an asterisk or a heptagon). That is, the drawing should be as unusual and flat as possible.

The price on the Internet for regular wheel bolts is from 14, and for “secret” ones from 160 rubles.

Bolts are made from different materials. This can be steel with an admixture of molybdenum or steel coated with nickel, chromium, etc., sometimes even titanium. Coated bolts have a nice appearance. But don’t think that this is the best choice. The problem is that any bolts are susceptible to corrosion. And the technology of nickel or chromium coating with sufficient stability has not yet been created. After a year, coated bolts will inevitably lose their beauty. Therefore, the appearance of the bolts is practically unrelated to their operational data. The most important factors are strength, thread pitch, length and type of bolt head.

To change wheels yourself, you need to know how to properly unscrew and tighten the wheel bolts. To do this, you should look at the photos and videos. There are a lot of such materials on the Internet. There are also instructions online for tightening bolts using a torque wrench.

It is especially important when installing new bolts after approximately 50 km to check the tightness of all bolts. Most likely, some of them will have to be tightened up!

Review of the best summer and winter tires

Summer and winter tires are seasonal “shoes” for cars, which is why special care is required when choosing the best option. If we take into account the specifics of each season, the car requires careful selection of tires.

Winter tires

Atmel CordiantPolar is a classic option with ideal technical and practical features. For winter, this is the best option in terms of endurance and reliability.

The TungaMaster, thanks to its solid ribs in its design, ensures rigidity and ease of movement.

Nordmaster are wheels that have an original tread pattern, which ensures safe driving.

Nokian Hakkapelitta 8 is a modern version of tires for passenger cars in terms of reliability and maneuverability.

KAMA 505 “Irbis” is the best option for 1 season, since long-term use violates the basic technical parameters of the rubber. But you will be pleased with the favorable price.

Popular summer tires

Michelin Latitude Sport 3 is the most modern model that has proven itself when working in the summer.

Nokian Hakka Black is a luxurious classic that allows you to provide your car with high-quality tires for several summer seasons.

General Altimax Sport is another interesting option for summer tires that is suitable for the VAZ 2107.

FULDA KRISTALL MONTERO 3 is an option from a number of non-standard ones, thanks to which it is possible to obtain not only maneuverability, but also attractiveness.

PREMIORRI SOLAZO are car tires that allow you to maintain your car, mobility and maneuverability during use.

To summarize, it should be said that a car with high-quality tires is a guarantee of practicality and comfortable driving in any conditions. And that is why, in order to provide your VAZ 2107 with the best properties, you need to evaluate all the offered options in this area.

Standard tires

The original wheels also go with the original tires. Their standard designation is 175/70 R13 82T. Let's go through the decoding again:

175 is the width of the tire profile in mm;
70 – percentage ratio of tire width and profile height;
R – rubber type, radial;
13 – tire radius in inches (select for the rim);
82 – maximum tire load, in this case it is 470 kg;
T – maximum possible speed, equal to 190 km/h.

The manufacturer also recommends a 165 mm wide tire. The wheel size is 80R13. The load indicators are the same. This rubber is low-profile, single-layer steel cord breaker.

Tires should be selected according to the following criteria:

Low-profile tires have a beneficial effect on vehicle handling, but in the event of impacts, the risk of damage to the chassis increases significantly.
A profile that is too large, on the contrary, may not fit into the arch, which is why it will constantly wear out;
Also, a non-standard profile height will affect the speedometer readings, because the length of the rim changes.
When selecting large rims and tires, it is very important to maintain the correct bolt pattern and fit it all into the wheel arches accurately;
If the tire has a low load, it may burst when hitting an obstacle if the vehicle is fully loaded.

Like any other car, the 7 is equipped with summer, winter and all-season tires. All-season tires, in principle, show good results, but they are inferior to summer and winter tires when compared under the conditions of their “native path”.

Therefore, it is recommended for any car owner to have 2 sets of tires for the cold and hot seasons of the year.

Characteristics of winter tires for VAZ 2107

A winter tire is distinguished by the fact that it is made of softer rubber, which does not allow it to harden in the cold. It has a higher tread.

The design includes many small wavy lamellas, which open when in contact with asphalt, as if sticking to the road surface.

This structure allows you to move well on compacted and even icy roads. Due to the shape of the tread and its size, the tire can paddle well on loose snow.

Such tires are divided into “Velcro” and studded.

Studded winter tires

The principle of operation of the former is reminiscent of suction cups, which we described earlier, but the studs help to better cope with acceleration and braking on icy and compacted roads. Metal spikes “bite” into the hard surface, which ensures better contact with it.

Traditionally, studded tires are considered a more reliable solution for driving on snowy roads. This is confirmed by many test drives that are conducted annually by various companies and auto magazines.

However, such rubber also has its disadvantages:

Firstly, not all regions of our country have snow on the roads all winter, especially in the south, where snowfalls occur once or twice a month and most of the time you have to drive on cold asphalt. In braking on such a surface, Velcro will definitely be better.

Secondly, if you ride on spikes on “bare” asphalt, you will constantly hear an annoying noise.

Thirdly, almost all imported rubber is studded at Russian enterprises - only blanks are supplied. For this reason, the studs are often poorly installed and constantly fall out.

And if the loss of a few pieces is not critical, then when the amount approaches 5-7 percent, the effectiveness of such a tire decreases many times over. Again, this is facilitated by driving on such tires on asphalt.

Velcro (friction)

“Velcro” also shows good results in terms of acceleration and braking on different roads. At the same time, it is not so noisy - even in the northern regions of our country, many drivers prefer just such tires.

Winter tires are indicated by the manufacturer either with a painted snowflake or with the M+S marking (Mud+Snow/Mud+Snow). They will also be easy to recognize by their tread type and increased softness.

Summer tires are stiffer, which is explained by the smaller amount of natural rubber in the composition. This tire wears out much more slowly and performs very well at high temperatures, when winter tires would become too soft to handle serious loads.

Protectors are divided into several types - they are symmetrical and asymmetrical, while within each type you can find a directional pattern and a non-directional one.

If the tire tread is directional, then on the side it will indicate the Rotation value and an arrow indicating the correct direction of rotation.

Specifics of winter tires for VAZ 2107

Regardless of the engine modification, the wheel size is R13, only tire size 175/70 is suitable for such wheels. Of course, it is possible to switch from R13 to R14 tires, but there are few benefits in such a replacement, the car’s handling will improve slightly, and the possibility of disc deformation will increase significantly. The tire size for VAZ 2107 and 2106 is identical.

So which winter tires are better for the VAZ 2107, Velcro or studded? When asking this question, you need to remember that the car is rear-wheel drive, for this reason it is prone to slipping during the start and skidding when entering a turn. Considering these criteria, the best choice would be winter tires with studs.

If a tenon is lost, replacing the element with a new one is not practiced, since it is impossible to securely fasten the element in the old hole.
