Lada Priora wheel size, rims, tires (tires) and tire pressure

January 15, 2015 Lada.Online 800 184 156

The size of tires and wheels significantly affects how a car behaves on the road. Each manufacturer indicates the acceptable sizes of tires and wheels; as a rule, this list is limited to several options. We'll tell you what other tires and wheels are suitable for the Priora besides the factory ones and how this will affect the operation of the car.

Second generation Lada Priora

At the end of 2022, the second generation of Lada Priora was released. The updates affected not only the interior, power plants, but also the exterior. The versions remain the same “Standard”, “Norma”, “Lux”, but with minor changes.

Rim material: low alloy steel, galvanized metal. Factory warranty for anti-corrosion protection for six years.

Advantages and Disadvantages: Dies and Casting

Basically, cars are operated with two sets of tires: winter and summer. Therefore, in order not to waste time and money on seasonal tire fitting, purchase a second set of wheels. The wheels on the Lada Priora are either stamped steel or light alloy cast, and the car owners decide what type of elements to buy.

Differences in steel stampings:

1. Low price.
2. Maintainability.

The main disadvantage of stampings is their high specific gravity. The disadvantages also include low resistance to deformation and the fact that they are monotonous in appearance and not interesting. But a bent steel stamping can be easily straightened even by hand, and when deformed, the wheel absorbs impact energy, protecting the suspension from damage. Therefore, this can be a plus to some extent. The design can be improved by installing wheel covers, but some people like the look of a car with stamps.

Casting looks more beautiful, weighs lighter, since light alloys are used in its manufacture, and almost any design can be cast. Improving the design of the car and reducing sprung masses are the advantages of installing casting. The main disadvantage is the high price. Casting is three or more times more expensive than dies of the same size.

The strength of alloy wheels is higher than that of stamps, but this advantage has a downside. Yes, the casting can withstand light impacts, but after a serious impact, for example, falling into a hole at high speed, the casting can no longer be restored. The coating of most models is afraid of the aggressive action of anti-icing agents; this is the “scourge” of winter roads in large cities.

Therefore, stamps are better for winter - even if the steel rusts (which should not happen with high-quality painting), the wheels are easy to tint and inexpensive to replace. The almost continuous design of the stamping sidewall better protects brake system parts from snow and mud.

Factory wheels on a Priora

When production started in 2007, the car was offered with only one wheel option. In the factory configuration, the tire size marked 185/65R14 86H was used, and the wheel rim on the Priora had parameters of 5.5Jx14 4/98 ET35 d58.5. This decision was dictated by the need to save money and reduce the cost of the car. And judging by data from the official website, this continued until 2022.

And only from 2022 to 2022, five options for wheel parameters for Priora appeared in the operating manuals. Therefore, you can see in the table what wheel size the Priora had in the last years of production of this model.

What wheels are installed on the Priora from the factory? Wheel rims were either stamped steel of our own production (most often from the Tolyatti Steel Wheels Plant (T3SK)), or cast wheels produced by K&K. The most popular model of alloy wheels is “Attica”. AvtoVAZ's factory tires are supplied by Nizhnekamskshina and Sibur-Kordiant.

It’s also worth stopping at thirteen-inch wheels. They were installed only on cars with eight-valve engines, and cars with this configuration were equipped with smaller brake calipers. That is, you cannot use 13-inch wheels for installation on cars that are factory equipped with fourteen-inch and fifteen-inch wheels.

However, replacing wheels with a smaller radius on a Priora is a rare case. And judging by unofficial online surveys, thirteen-inch wheels cost less than 1% of cars of this model in all of Russia. Quite the contrary - car owners want to increase the diameter of the wheels on their Priora. Below we will discuss how this can be done so that such tuning does not affect handling.

List of wheel manufacturers for Priora and their price

Stampings and castings with a diameter of 14 inches are produced by many domestic and foreign companies. Among the stamp manufacturers, the following stand out:

• KFZ is an Austrian company that supplies wheels to many auto manufacturers. Model 5935 is suitable for Priora. Cost – 1300-1800 rubles.
• Mefro is a German company that produces high-quality, affordable parts. This company produces original spare parts for Lada, article number 21700-3101015, price 900–1100 rubles.
• Magnetto - produced in the Leningrad region, the brand belongs to the Italian group of companies CLN SpA Code for Priora - 14003, costs around 900 rubles.
• TZSK - Tolyatti Steel Wheel Plant - the official supplier of AvtoVAZ. Cost – 850-950 rubles.
• Eurodisk is a brand of the Fergana Mechanical Plant, production is carried out in Uzbekistan and the Leningrad region. The standard Priora model 53B35B costs about 900 rubles.
• Trebl is a Chinese brand. The brand's assortment includes a wheel with article number 53B35B for the Lada Priora, their price is approximately 950 rubles. Casting is represented by a greater variety than stamping. Unfortunately, many low-quality Chinese-made models are sold that are not durable enough. The production of cast elements is a technologically complex process, so choose casting from reliable companies.

Good light alloy wheels are produced by Russian manufacturers. K&K is a supplier of Lada conveyors. Products from the Krasnoyarsk plant are durable and of high quality.

The KiK line is offered as original Lada Priora accessories:

1. Torus.
2. Status.
3. Magma.
4. Combi.
5. Sonar.
6. Attica.
7. Sunway.
8. Orbis.

Winter wheels on Priora

Winter tire options for Priora are available in the table below. But with large-diameter winter tires that sit side by side in the summer, don't forget that an aggressive tread pattern can increase the size of the tires and, as a result, they will catch on the fender liners.

KAMA-505 175/65 R14

Viatti Brina 185/60 R15

More factory ones - how's that?

There are certain recommended parameters that car owners must adhere to. All of the options offered by the manufacturer have passed special tests. This means that it is the recommended wheels that will allow the car to improve its performance with minimal negative consequences.

As an example, we can look at a specific situation. Let's assume that a car enthusiast purchased a vehicle with 15-inch wheels. Moreover, the same car model with a different configuration has parameters of 17 inches. Consequently, a motorist can safely install wheels with any of the proposed indicators on his vehicle.

However, it is important before installing wheels of a different configuration to carefully study all the recommendations in the documents for your own vehicle. The papers must contain information about which tires and wheels cannot be installed. “Do not” means that conversion to a non-recommended size will result in degraded performance.

As a conclusion, we can say that the wheels are “bigger”: the height of the tire depends on the radius of the part. It is impossible to combine wheels larger than the recommended size with regular tires.

The specified paragraph of the traffic rules (5.4) provides for the configuration of the car model available to the motorist. The owner of a basic Kia Rio with 15-inch tires can still put 16-inch wheels on the car. This is allowed because some car models have 16-inch radii. Exceeding this limit will already entail administrative consequences.

What kind of disks can be installed?

The size of wheels, tires, disks that are installed on a car have a direct impact on its technical characteristics. In the instruction manual, the manufacturer indicates the recommended dimensions, as well as acceptable ones.

The owner of the vehicle, in our case Lada Priora, independently decides what type and size of wheels and tires to install. For the average driver who uses the car as a means of transportation to and from work, the factory rim sizes are more than enough.

In case of tuning, changes in standard characteristics, dynamic indicators, it is necessary to refit the car with non-standard wheel sizes.

List of characteristics that can be changed by installing non-standard wheel sizes:

• Controllability;
• Road grip;
• Sharp and responsive steering wheel;
• Reduced/increased aquaplaning;
• Comfort of movement;
• Noise level;
• Combined cycle fuel consumption (see photo);
• Tread wear rate.

How are they different from summer ones?

Unlike summer tires, winter tires have the following features:

• A special rubber composition allows it to remain soft in severe frosts. This is especially true for friction tires that adhere to the road surface by adhesion. Silica is added to the composition of winter tires, the composition is constantly being improved so that the tires can withstand maximum sub-zero temperatures.
• Rubber must be soft, elastic and durable, because in winter there is a high risk of damage from pieces of ice, hard snow, and icy roadsides. Strength is also achieved by improving the rubber composition, adding silicic acid to it, as well as increasing the strength of the side tread blocks. An important point is the controllability of the car on slippery roads. It is achieved thanks to the course longitudinal ribs of the tread.
• To remove the abundant water on the roads and snow porridge in winter, winter tires have an increased level of siping and a greater depth of grooves. The deep tread pattern also helps tires self-clean from snow and slush.
• For better grip on the road and especially on icy surfaces, many winter tires are equipped with metal studs, which provide good grip and braking, but are quite noisy.

In severe winter conditions with icy roads and snow, the use of winter tires is strongly recommended, since summer tires may not cope with control on difficult and slippery roads, creating emergency situations.

What wheels were installed on different versions of the car?

The design of the Lada Priora is more similar to the popular VAZ 2110 (ten), mass production of which was completed in 2008. More than 100 changes were made to the top ten, after which three new modifications of the car were created:

• "VAZ-2170";
• «2172»;
• «2171».

These are, respectively, a sedan, a hatchback, and a station wagon, manufactured after 2008–2009. Equipment: “Standard”, “Normal” and “Lux”, depending on finishing materials, additional options, and power of the power unit.

• 1.6 l. / 8th grade / 90 hp;
• 1.6 l. / 16 grades / 98 hp

How to avoid a fine or termination of registration?

If you still really want to install disks larger than those allowed, then you can try to register these changes with the traffic police. In this case, the PTS and STS will be marked with changes made, and there will no longer be grounds for a fine. However, the increased attention of traffic police officers to such cars will not stop. In addition, the process of registering changes can be time-consuming and expensive.

Here's how it goes:

1. The first step is to undergo a preliminary examination and obtain a conclusion on the possibility of making changes to the design of the vehicle. It is also necessary to obtain permission from the MREO department of the traffic police.
2. With the results of the examination and permission from the traffic police, you need to submit an application for amendments - again to the traffic police. Also at this stage you will need documents for the car (STS and PTS) and the owner’s passport.
3. At this point, you can finally install new disks. However, this must be done in a certified service station, which can issue a declaration of work performed.
4. After making changes, you will have to undergo 3 more inspections: technical examination (preferably in the same organization where the preliminary examination was carried out), technical inspection, inspection at the traffic police.
5. The result of this entire chain of actions will be the inclusion of a note about changes in the PTS and the receipt of a new STS.

Drivers who find this whole process too complicated can contact firms that specialize in resolving legal issues with the traffic police. You will have to pay a lot more for this, but in this case the participation of the vehicle owner in registration is minimized.

What wheels are installed on the Priora as an alternative?

Priora on 17-inch wheels

The huge list of options on the Priora can be explained by the fact that even standard wheels have a height of 575 mm (175/70 R13) to 596 mm (185/65 R14). It is these dimensions that you should focus on when choosing alternatives, so that the new wheels fit into the wheel arches and do not rub against the fender liners. And this also allows you to install even 17-inch wheels with 205/40 R17 tires on the Priora, which have a total height of 596 mm. Moreover, without changing the design of the car, that is, cutting the bumper or arches.

In the case of an overhang, a calculator will help you decide which wheels can be installed on the Priora. The smaller the offset, the more the wheels stick out. But you can compensate for this with the width of the rim. Or if you want to install wider wheels, then it is better not to change the offset. Or get wheels with a longer offset so they sit deeper. Also focus on how many millimeters you still have left in the wheel arches.

We have compiled the list of acceptable wheel sizes for Priora into one table.

When choosing new tires and wheels, remember the following. Increasing the diameter and width of the rim plus increasing the width of the tire improves the appearance as well as the handling of the vehicle. But at the same time, comfort on rough roads will deteriorate and fuel consumption will increase!

As for brands, as a replacement for discs, car owners prefer products from the “original” manufacturer K&K, as well as popular companies SLIK and VSMPO. Let's talk about tires separately.

Many other K&K elements correspond to the Prior size:

• Accent.
• Iguana.
• Kalina-sport.
• Omaha.
• Rome.
• Siesta.
• Blade.
• Moulin rouge.

And this is not a complete list - there is a large selection. The cost of domestic casting is 2200–4000 rubles.

Another popular domestic manufacturer of light alloy wheels is SKAD. The plant for their production, located in Divnogorsk, has been operating since 2002, supplying wheels to many foreign automakers, including Ford, Volkswagen. SCAD is produced using modern technologies and meets international standards. The company's product range includes wheels for domestic cars.

The most popular models suitable for Priora are:

1. Uranus2.
2. Magnum.
3. Callisto.
4. Sting.
5. Veritas.

SKAD offers its products at the same price as KiK.

Tech Line is a product of the Azov Tek plant located in the Rostov region. 16 wheels of the brand’s model range with different designs have standard Prior sizes, for example:

1. Multi-spoke: TL 437, TL 426, TL 406.
2. Six-beam: TL 1401, TL 414.
3. Star-shaped: TL 430, TL 429.
4. With an unusual design: TL 418, TL 420, TL 438, TL 1406.

The price of Azov casting is 2600–3300 rubles.

ALCASTA is a Russian brand, production is located in Asia. There is nothing wrong with the design and durability of the products of this brand. Models popular among Prior owners are M29, M32, price 3300–3500 rubles.

Among Chinese wheels, you can pay attention to the brands Nitro or NZ Wheels. Factory production using modern equipment gives the wheels of these brands good quality, complemented by a large selection of design solutions and an affordable price. Popular Nitro models:

Price – about 3500 rubles.

The NZ Wheels range includes F-32, F-41, SH-627, SH-607. Price – 3400–3800 rubles.

It is difficult to find wheels in the size for Priora from European, American, and Japanese manufacturers. But if you deviate from the standard parameters, you can choose beautiful castings from well-known brands. True, they cost much more than their Russian and Chinese counterparts.

Wheels suitable for Priora

What wheels can be installed on the Priora if you want to replace the factory ones? AvtoVAZ does not recommend tire sizes other than those specified in the operating manual, which we indicated above! But the manufacturer allows wide wheels on the Priora. But only if you change the rim width.

For thirteen-inch wheels, it is allowed to increase the width from 5 to 5.5 inches. And for fourteen-inch wheels, it is allowed to use wheels that are narrower or wider than standard - either 5-inch wide or 6-inch wide instead of the standard 5.5J wide. For fifteen-inch wheels, it is not recommended to change the rim width!

Also, according to AvtoVAZ, it is not worth changing the wheel offset. In fact, you can only install large wheels on a Priora without violating the manufacturer’s requirements if you have 13 or 14-inch wheels. But when have car owners been stopped by a car manufacturer's recommendations? If the question is “what wheels to put on a Priora,” many are even ready to make changes to the design of the car just to achieve a stylish result. Therefore, there are quite a lot of options.

Beading, rubber beading

All modern cars are operated with tubeless wheels. To ensure the tightness of the bead, the tire fits tightly to the rim of the disk, so it is difficult to disassemble such a wheel without a tool, especially when it is necessary to preserve the rubber being removed. High-quality independent installation of tubeless tires is also difficult.

If there are no other options to restore integrity, you can try to dismantle it, separating the tire from the rim:

Using a jack - its foot is installed on the tire near the rim, the upper part rests against the loop of the cable passed under the wheel, into the car, or another stationary, heavy object. When the jack handle is rotated, its lower part, lowering, will remove the tire from the rim. Having run over the edge of a wheel with a car. Impact method - using a metal corner and a sledgehammer. After the tire has been pressed off the rim on both sides, it must be removed with mounting blades. If you install it yourself, it is unlikely that you will be able to create a tight seal on a tubeless wheel; you should install a tube. Mounting blades are used for edging. You need to put the edge of the tire on the disk, install the tube inside, and fill the second bead.

Summer wheels on Priora

For the Lada Priora, the automaker recommends the speed index H (corresponds to a speed of 210 km/h). Speed ​​index T is also allowed - 190 km/h. The recommended weight index is 82, which corresponds to a load of 475 kg per wheel.

We have compiled which wheels are best for the Priora in this table.

DUNLOP SP SPORT FM800 195/45 R16

Viatti Strada Asimmetrico 175/65 R14

When choosing the maximum size of wheels and tires, remember that even a slight overinflation can create big problems when driving a car! Follow the recommendations for air pressure in the tires; the pressure on the front and rear axles should be 0.2 (2.0) MPa (bar).

Review of the best summer and winter tires

For Lada Priora, stores offer a large selection of different tire models. Since models marked R14, R15, R16 are used on most modern cars. It won’t be difficult to choose suitable wheels for winter and summer – separately.

A good solution for summer travel will be the Toyo Proxes CF2. The cost of one tire of this model is no more than 2,200 rubles. Allows you to easily take sharp turns and provides excellent maneuverability.

An equally profitable purchase is BFGoodrich g‑Grip. Despite the low cost (only 2,180 rubles), it performs well on the highway and in the city. The presence of deep slats eliminates aquaplaning.

Conti Premium Contact 5 is the fifth generation of the Continental series. The cost of one such tire is approximately 2,700 rubles. The main advantage of this modification is the ability to travel at speeds of more than 190 km/h and a short braking distance even on wet asphalt.

Nokian Hakka Green is a good option; it will cost the buyer only 2,400 rubles. The tires of this model are perfectly balanced and have a rigid central rib. It provides good maneuverability.

You need to be especially careful when choosing winter tires. The budget solution will be NEXEN 175/65R14 WG ICE PLUS. There are no thorns on it. However, the deep tread will allow you to feel confident on any, even the most difficult road.

SAVA 175/65R14 ESKIMO S3 also do not have studs. However, deep tracks in the tread allow for excellent water drainage from the contact patch. This eliminates hydroplaning. Rigid sides make the car well controlled on any road.

GISLAVED 175/65R14 NORD FROST is equipped with a large number of studs - which significantly simplifies the procedure for moving on icy roads. Even bare ice will not be a hindrance. Steel spikes perfectly hold the car on the road surface.

PIRELLI 175/65R14 WINTER FORMULA is a balanced tire designed for a maximum speed of 190 km/h and a load of up to 475 kg. The presence of studs evenly distributed over the surface allows you not to worry about braking.

GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-2 will cost relatively inexpensively - just over 3,500 rubles. Weather Reactive technology was used in production. Thanks to it, the wheels can easily adapt to any, even the most difficult conditions.

It is important to use suitable tires - this will make the car easier to drive and prevent an accident. Installation of non-standard wheels is allowed. However, in some cases, modifications are required.

Generation 1

Lada Priora is an updated version of the popular VAZ 2110 model, production of which ended in 2007. Over 1,000 changes were made to the design of the “tens,” beloved by many Russians. As a result, a new family of cars appeared, consisting of 3 representatives:

New Lada: How to find out the color code and paint name of my LADA? | Motorring online store

1. "VAZ-2170" - a sedan, the production of which began in March 2007;
2. “VAZ-2172” is a hatchback that appeared in February 2008;
3. "VAZ-2171" is a station wagon, sales of which began in May 2009.

After the modernization of the VAZ-2110, a fundamentally new car appeared that retained the same features. In the first version of the Lada Priora, similarities with the “ten” were clearly visible, but the bow and stern of the car became different. The headlights have increased in size and the radiator grille has become larger. The taillights were also modified, but overall the changes in appearance could not be called global.

The basic equipment of Lada Priora has become noticeably richer. It offered electric front windows, central locking with remote control, athermal windows, an airbag, electric power steering, an electronic clock and an adjustable steering column.

The car was available in three trim levels: “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux”. They differed exclusively in the level of equipment. The model was equipped with 2 types of gasoline units:

• 1.6-liter 8-valve VAZ-21116 engine (90 hp);
• 1.6-liter 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine (98 hp).

What is the punishment?

All changes to the vehicle design that are considered prohibited are included in the official List of Faults. Wheel sizes that do not match the model are also shown in this list in paragraph 5.4.

The penalty for driving with such defects is established by Art. 12.5, namely its first part. It provides for 2 penalties: a written warning or a fine of 500 rubles. If the violation is completely for the first time, then there is a chance that the driver will only receive a warning. But the fine is a rather mild form of punishment: you can get a 50% discount on it if you pay within 20 days. A much greater danger awaits violators, which they may not even be aware of. The fact is that based on changes to the design of the vehicle, the inspector can cancel the registration of the vehicle with the traffic police. After this, driving such a car on public roads will be prohibited.

Generation 2

In 2022, 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.

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.

If you really want to

You can install larger disks if you have a great desire and significant savings. The driver, for a fee, can legalize changes made to the design by contacting the State Traffic Inspectorate. This process takes a lot of time, and the car owner will have to deal with large amounts of documentation.

To legalize changes, you must complete the following steps:

1. Obtain official permission from the State Traffic Inspectorate to carry out activities to change the characteristics of the car. There are no problems at this step, since this document is usually issued to everyone at the MREO department of the traffic police.
2. Pass the initial technical examination. As a result, the driver will become familiar with the possibility of installing larger rims and tires. You can find out more about organizations carrying out such activities on the official website of the Department of Technical Regulation. If the possibility of a design change is confirmed, the driver will receive an appropriate conclusion and can proceed to the next step.
3. With the result obtained, contact the State Traffic Inspectorate again and submit an application requesting changes. The car owner must additionally provide an STS, a vehicle passport and his citizen’s passport.
4. Select and install new larger wheels. At this stage, it is important to make sure that the selected tire center has a genuine certificate for carrying out such activities.
5. Receive a declaration from the tire shop about the work performed. It should be noted that this is a separate document that should not be confused with the act of work performed.
6. Pass a secondary technical examination to confirm the compliance of the amendments made with the permitted ones, which were agreed upon during the primary examination. Advice: it is better to take the first and second examination in one place - it is much easier.
7. Pass a technical inspection of the vehicle at an accredited organization.
8. Submit the vehicle for inspection to the traffic police and register the changes.

If all these points seem too complicated, the car owner can use the services of companies that will take on all the responsibilities for officially making changes to the design. Such support costs a lot of money, but saves a lot of time.

Installing large rims is a very common type of tuning. In addition to external changes, such an upgrade also changes the technical characteristics of the car: both positively and negatively. You can argue about the pros and cons of large wheels for a long time, but there is another, no less important problem - installing new wheels is not always legal. From this article you will learn in what cases it is impossible to change the size of wheels, what is the punishment for violation, and is it possible to legalize changes?

Wheel bolt pattern on Prior

First, let’s talk about the bolt pattern parameters on Priora wheels. It is always 4x98, that is, all wheel rims are mounted with 4 bolts and the distance between them is 98 mm. The size of the central hole of the wheel rim is always 58.5 mm.

Disc with bolt pattern 4x98

Let us remind you that this parameter is important to take into account when selecting alternative wheels for your car - you simply cannot install wheels with a different bolt pattern, so always study the markings on the disk.

The disc mounts on the Priora are marked M12x1.25, where 12 is the diameter of the stud in mm, and 1.25 is the thread size. But if you install non-standard size wheels, you will have to buy extended mounts.

We also add that the 4x98 bolt pattern is traditional for almost all AvtoVAZ models. Including for the VAZ-2110, which was the predecessor of the Priora. Although the wheels from Vesta will not fit on the Priora, when switching to the new model, AvtoVAZ decided to install wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern.

Priorovskie wheels from Grants Sport

Often, Priora owners pay attention to the exclusive car from the concern - Lada Granta Sport. The car is made in the spirit of the times, has a real combat look and wheels with parameters 195/50/R16. Almost every ambitious Priora owner has a great desire to install just such wheels on his car, but there are both advantages and disadvantages, namely:

• Multi-spoke alloy wheels with these geometric parameters, crowned with a massive steel rim and low-profile tires, create a stunning effect, distinguishing the car from the rest on the road.
• The Chinese manufacturer was able to satisfy the quality requirements of the plant, and all wheels come perfectly smooth and homogeneous in composition and do not require serious balancing when installing them assembled on a car.
• One of the downsides is that these wheels on the Priora are in no way compatible with the fender liners, since the rubber simply rests against them and wears them out, which also damages the protectors. To avoid this, the driver will have to completely get rid of the plastic protection on his car, exposing the body to aggressive environmental influences, especially in winter.
• In addition, the cost of these products is clearly too high, and it is advisable to install it only on the premium Priora models, since otherwise they will stand out too much against the background of a poor exterior package without sports body kits, moldings, grilles and headlights.

Wheels for the Lada Granta Sport
Thus, experts advise car enthusiasts to refrain from installing these wheels and try to find something on the market that is more suitable specifically for the Priora.

Wheel size

The small selection of versions of the Lada Priora model also limited the types of wheels available for use:

• wheels 5.5J on 14 ET37 (5.5 – width in inches, 14 – diameter in inches, 37 – positive offset in mm), tires – 185/65R14 (185 – tire width in mm, 65 – profile height in%, 14 – rim diameter in inches);
• 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.

Factory tires - article number and price

The Lada Priora was mainly equipped with 14-inch wheels, occasionally 13, 15 inches. R16 tires have never been installed on Lada Priora. Over the years, the car on the assembly line was equipped with wheels and tires from different manufacturers, the article number and price also varied, for example:

• Belshina 555.

These are all-season tires of the lower price segment, hard, therefore, not comfortable, high grip, but they last a long time and are resistant to mechanical damage. Of course, all-season use of wheels is conditional; in subzero temperatures and icy conditions, winter wheels must be used. There is no special article number for wheel tires in the Lada spare parts catalog, because the spare part is universal and fits many cars, not just Lada.

Wheel sizes

• First generation Lada Priora

It is equally important to know the following characteristics:

• PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the center of the mounting holes: 97 mm;
• Drilling: number of holes 4;
• Fastener type: M12 – stud diameter;
• Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
• Center hole diameter: 59 mm;
• Pressure (front / rear): 1.9 / 2.0 bar.

PCD is calculated by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite holes. We measure with a ruler; it is not necessary to dismantle the wheel.

• For disks with five bolts, multiply the obtained result by a factor of 1.06;
• For four bolt construction, PCD = actual distance.

The offset of the rim is designated ET, the unit of measurement is millimeters. This is the distance between the point of contact between the disc and the hub and the middle of the rim width.

The designation is different in different countries. For example, in France it is called DEPORT, in Asia OFFSET.

The offset is positive if the plane does not extend beyond the point of contact, otherwise the offset is negative.

The further the rim is from the body, the more the offset tends to zero.

• D is the diameter of the central hole, measured in millimeters.
• J, H and subsequent alphabetical symbols indicate the markings of the humps on the rim flange. Symmetrical, asymmetrical and combined.

In simple terms, a “hump” is a protrusion on the rim for a tubeless tire. When moving, the “rails” hold the tire beads, preventing depressurization.

Numerical characters indicate the release date, month, year.

• TUV is an abbreviation for the regulatory authority for compliance with quality standards.

Maximum wheel load (MAX LOAD). The unit of measurement depends on the country of manufacture of the rubber or rim: USA, Europe, Asia.

How much do Tori disks cost?

The cost of K&K Torus discs depends on the radius of the disc itself. The larger the radius, the higher the price of Torus alloy wheels.

• R14 Torus price 2700-3000 rubles per piece
• R15 Torus price from 3500 to 4000 rubles per disk
• R16 Torus price from 4000 to 5000 rubles per disc
• R17 Torus price from 4500 to 5000 rubles per disk

Characteristics of Tori

The R16 Torus has a rim width of 6.5mm. The R17 has a rim width of 7mm.

The main color of the Torus is silver, but the R14 and R15 are also offered in white, but the price for white wheels is higher.

Recommendations for storing and caring for discs

• During a routine technical inspection, check the geometry and balancing of the wheel on a special diagnostic stand. If deviations are detected, restore the integrity of the structure;
• If cracks or dents form on the rim, immediately contact a service station for preventive maintenance;
• Avoid hitting road potholes at high and medium speeds. Regardless of the material or workmanship, the disk will be deformed and the seal will be compromised;
• Monitor the tire pressure; it should not be lower/higher than recommended by the manufacturer. If it deviates, pump it up;
• Switch to summer/winter mode in a timely manner. This means that in summer the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, and in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are specified in the vehicle operating instructions;
• Tighten the rim nuts with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - an emergency situation, unscrewing the wheel.

What is the tire pressure

The consequences of too high or too low tire pressure are serious - it is necessary to operate the car with well-inflated tires. Regardless of the load, rubber used and diameter, the nominal pressure is considered to be 0.2 MPa. The width of the rim (5J, 5 ½, 6J) does not matter.

Using tire pressures above the minimum has the following consequences:

• quick grinding of the central part of the tire;
• poor handling;
• There is a high risk of the wheel exploding.

Moreover, if a tire bursts while you are not driving, this can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences. For example, if the front wheel on the driver's side fails, the car may drift into the oncoming lane. Which will lead to a serious accident.

Tire pressure should be checked before each trip. It is best to use a special device for this - a pressure gauge. It can be mechanical or electronic.

Many owners specially inflate tires to 1.7-1.8 atm. The main reason is greater ride comfort - thanks to the low pressure, shocks to the suspension are practically not transmitted to the passenger compartment and to the steering wheel. However, low tire pressure causes:

• rapid wear of the tread - it wears down at the edges an order of magnitude faster;
• increased fuel consumption - for every 100 km of travel, gasoline is consumed by 5-15% more.

Operating a vehicle with half-flat tires is dangerous. It is advisable to avoid such practices.

Tires for lada priora

Using the automatic selection of tires and wheels for the Lada Priora, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of automakers. After all, they have a huge impact on a significant part of the vehicle’s operational properties, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, tires and rims in a modern car are one of the active safety elements. That is why it is extremely important to approach their choice very responsibly, using quite specific knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, or, conversely, fortunately, a significant part of car enthusiasts prefer not to study the technical structure of their own car thoroughly. However, an automatic selection system will be extremely useful regardless of this, as it will minimize the likelihood of choosing the wrong rims or tires. And it is distinguished by extreme diversity, thanks to the presence in the Mosavtoshina online store of a wide range of this type of product.

If you really want to

​Then it’s possible. But the desire must be strong enough, because it can be expensive. The fact is that according to the above paragraph of the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Regulations, tires can be brought into compliance with the permissible size. This is done by officially making changes to the design of the vehicle with subsequent registration of such changes with the traffic police.

The procedure is very document-intensive and will require considerable financial investment. It consists of the following stages.

1. The first step is to obtain permission from the traffic police for the possibility of making changes such as installing wheels larger than those provided for by the design of the car. This is a pure formality and, as a rule, it is given to everyone. To do this, you need to contact any branch of the MREO traffic police (list on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate).
2. Next, we undergo a preliminary technical examination to determine the possibility of installing large wheels and tires of the sizes you specified. List of authorized organizations on the website of the Department of Technical Regulation.
3. If the examination determines that such changes are possible, it will issue an appropriate conclusion. With it, you need to contact the traffic police again and submit an application for changes with documents for the car: registration certificate, PTS and your passport (the owner).
4. Then directly install the rims and wheels of the selected radius. An important point: tire fitting services must be provided by an organization certified for this type of work and capable of issuing a declaration of work performed (not to be confused with a certificate of work performed).
5. And again we undergo a technical examination (preferably in the same organization - it will be easier for you) to ensure that the changes made comply with those permitted in accordance with paragraph 2 above.
6. Next, we select an accredited organization and undergo a vehicle inspection.
7. And at the last stage, we register the changes with the State Traffic Inspectorate, for which we provide the car for inspection.

In 2022, there are a large number of companies that will fully undertake support for making changes to the design of the car. But it will cost other money. We will deliberately not give the average cost, since it is very different and is constantly growing.
