Tire size is one of the most important parameters that can significantly change the behavior of a car on the road. In our review we will tell you about the permissible tire size on the Grant, as well as what the size of the tires affects during the operation of the car. Let's start with the tire and wheel sizes allowed by the manufacturer.

What other tires and wheels are suitable for the Grant?
A survey was conducted among VKontakte users, asking them to choose alloy wheels for Granta. 42% of participants recommend installing R15 wheels on the Grant. 27% chose R14. Third place (17% of voters) believe that 16 wheels on Grant will look best. The left tire compatibility table is built for 175/70 R13, and the right one is for 185/55 R15:
Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.
Based on reviews from owners, we have compiled a list of compatibility of Lada Granta tires and wheels:
- R14 wheels on Granta can be installed with the following tire parameters: 175/60 R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14 , 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.
- R15 wheels on the Grant are installed with the following parameters: 175/50 R15, 175/45 R15, 175/40 R15, 185/50 R15, 185/45 R15, 185/40 R15, 195/50 R15, 195/45 R15, 195/ 40 R15, 205/50 R15, 205/45 R15, 205/40 R15 and 205/32 R15.
- R16 wheels on the Grant are equipped with tires: 175/50 R16, 175/45 R16, 175/40 R16, 185/45 R16, 185/40 R16, 195/45 R16, 195/40 R16 and 205/32 R16.
- R17 wheels for the Grant (the same number voted for R13 wheels); it is recommended to install them with tires: 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.
Don't forget about the rim width:
When installing tires or wheels that differ in parameters
from those recommended by the factory, you can:
- be refused warranty repair of the chassis;
- be stopped by a traffic police inspector, who has the right to draw up a report on the car’s non-compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations;
- fail to pass technical inspection.
Parameters of standard nuts
One of the main parameters of nuts or bolts is the shape of their pressing surface, which can have several varieties. When selecting the necessary nuts, you should proceed from the shape of the recess in the mounting hole of the disk.
Most often it is necessary to use bolts or nuts with a cone-shaped clamping part. As a rule, the cone has an angle of 60°. Sometimes such bolts may have a 1.3 mm head and a nose at the end of the nut.
The clamping surface of the fastener can also be flat or hemispherical. It is important that the clamping planes of the fastener and the disk fully correspond to each other. Otherwise, over time, as a result of strong dynamic loads, the attachment point will weaken. When choosing nuts with closed heads, you should pay attention to their length.
If the pin prematurely rests on its inner part, then it will not be possible to fully tighten it. Also, nuts that are too short may not leave room for the socket head of the impact wrench. Some wheel models only allow the use of hex or star nuts.
When choosing bolts, you need to consider their length. A reliable connection can only be achieved if the bolt is screwed in to the entire threaded thickness of the hub. However, if it is too long, then when the car moves, such fasteners will begin to cling to internal structures.
Ideally, the tip of the bolt should only protrude a couple of threads when fully tightened. Bolts are made only from steel, but nuts can be steel, aluminum or titanium.
What does the size of tires and wheels affect?
| Increasing disc diameter | Increasing rim width | Increasing tire width | |
| Car style | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Road holding | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Steering precision | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Tire grip | Will not change | Will not change | will improve, but only on dry roads |
| Resistance to hydroplaning | Will not change | Will not change | will get worse |
| Comfort on rough roads | will get worse | Will not change | will improve |
| Road noise | Will not change | Will not change | will intensify |
| Gasoline consumption | Will not change | will increase | will increase |
| Tire wear | Will not change | Will not change | will increase |
It is worth noting that it is better to choose winter tires for the Lada Grant as narrow as possible. Thus, the pressure of the car on the road surface will be greater, and therefore the grip on the road will improve. Also, do not forget that wide tires are more sensitive to the ruts on the road, and low-profile tires will transfer even the smallest bumps to your butt.
The smaller the unsprung masses
(this includes a lot of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.
Attention! Installing larger wheels may lead to problems with ABS and ESC calibration (the systems may not work correctly).
Let us remind you that for safety and to increase the service life of your tires, you should maintain the recommended pressure in the Lada Granta tires.

A bolt pattern is...
Bolt pattern (drill pattern or PCD) is a measurement that includes the number of bolts and the diameter of the circle between the mounting holes for vehicle rims. These parameters differ for each brand and model. The exact number of mounting bolts can be determined visually.
The Lada Granta bolt pattern process
You can measure the radius or diameter of the circle on which the holes are located using a ruler or caliper. To do this, choose the 2 most distant from each other. This method is convenient for an even number of fasteners (4, 6 or 8).
Another way to determine the diameter when fitting tires is to measure the distance between 2 adjacent holes. Then the resulting number is multiplied by a coefficient depending on the number of bolts. For 4 bolts it will be 1.414, for 5 – 1.701, for 6 – 2.
If the drive has 5 mounting holes, you can measure the distance between 2 of them that are not next to each other. The resulting figure is multiplied by 1.051.
In this case, it is necessary to measure as accurately as possible - an error of 1-2 mm can lead to incorrect selection of wheels and problems with the chassis. To determine the bolt pattern indicators of each Granta model, special article tables have been compiled. This information can also be found in the vehicle's owner's manual or by examining the labeling.
Knowing the exact wheel bolt pattern data on the Lada Granta will help you avoid problems when purchasing.
VAZ products are equipped with three types of disks:
- Stamped - the most popular among car owners. They are durable, easy to straighten and have a low cost. Most often they are installed on stock cars and are covered with caps.
- Cast - they have less weight and look attractive. Among the disadvantages are a higher price and less durability.
- Forged - they are the most durable and durable.
When choosing any type of disk, the standard standards specified by the manufacturer are taken into account. The Lada Granta bolt pattern for all modifications and body types has the characteristics of 4x98. The first number indicates the number of bolts, the second is the diameter of the hole.
Does it depend on the size of the disks?
The Granta range is available with wheels with a diameter of 13, 14 or 15 inches. The exact figure depends on the configuration and year of manufacture of the car. The bolt pattern of the Lada Granta always remains the same - 4x98.
Let's summarize all of the above
- If you do not drive at very high speeds, are limited in money and the roads in your city are not of very high quality, feel free to purchase steel wheels for a VAZ Granta (but together with decorative caps).
- If the “appearance” of a car is of paramount importance to you and high-speed driving is not alien to you, then it is best to purchase alloy wheels. But you must be prepared for the fact that they may burst - then you will need to buy new ones, because alloy wheels cannot be repaired.
- If you are a fan of sporty driving and high speeds, then only forged wheels on the VAZ Granta will be the optimal solution for you. Their unique properties will allow them to be used for a very long time even under intense loads, because it is almost impossible to disable them. But the very high price of such wheels is the only drawback that prevents everyone from buying them.

Expert advice
When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.
- On what roads will the car be primarily used?
- Do you need increased cross-country ability?
- How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
- Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?
The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.
How to choose the right wheels for Lada Granta Cross 2022?
3 types of rims:
- Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
- Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
- Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.
The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.
So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.
It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).
The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.
What is the tire pressure?
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:
- deterioration of management;
- uneven tread wear.
Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:
- increased fuel consumption;
- rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
- the car becomes less maneuverable.
An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.
Questionable fit
Some extreme sports enthusiasts, having made a mistake when buying disks, are trying to correct the situation by adjusting the new thing to the existing indicators. With the first number there is more back and forth: if there is an excess of holes, they are left unused, if there is a shortage, they are drilled, although this, in our opinion, is an outrage. However, installation with the help of centering rings, used if the standard, factory-calculated PCD is smaller than on purchased wheels, increases the dubiousness of the action several times: there is no guarantee that the wheels will not get lost in motion.
So before deciding on such measures, you need to think several times: if you don’t feel sorry for the car, at least feel sorry for those who are driving next to you in it.
Having figured out how to find out the bolt pattern of a wheel, and having carried out all the simple manipulations with the existing wheels, you can safely go for new things and change the shoes of your car.
The loosening of wheel rims can easily be attributed to minor car tuning. For many car enthusiasts, changing the appearance of their “iron horse”, giving it exclusivity, and making it recognizable in the stream of other vehicles is a real dream.
But, as a rule, there is not enough money for serious changes, but installing new wheels is a simple and quite affordable type of tuning. But there is one problem - beginners lose sight of the wheel bolt pattern.
What is it? Almost every make (model) of car has its own wheel bolt pattern. To denote the parameter, the abbreviation PCD is used, next to which numerical designations are indicated. In simple words, the bolt pattern is the diameter along which the holes are made for mounting the wheel. As a rule, car enthusiasts do not pay attention to this parameter and often install wheels with an inappropriate bolt pattern. As a consequence , the wheel becomes incorrect. It is difficult to visually identify the problem, but the consequences can be very dire.
Features of measurements As we have already mentioned, PCD is the diameter of the circle on which special holes for fastening the wheel are located (we have already looked at the example with the marking of the disk). So, we have the parameter PCD 5 * 100. The first number is clear - it indicates the number of bolts used to secure the wheel.
Wheels are an important technical component of any car, responsible for maneuverability and ease of movement. It is not enough to choose the first available disk option, since you should worry about the relationship between the requirements of a particular vehicle manufacturer and the capabilities of the car owner.
Bolt pattern is a key parameter that needs careful consideration to ensure ease of subsequent installation.

As a rule, the bolt pattern indicator is determined by the wheel rim manufacturer itself, but if this information is not available, then it is important to resort to independent calculation, which is difficult and time-consuming, but still realistic
Additionally, diagrams and tables with explanations are presented to understand what the resulting option means and how to use it in practice

The bolt pattern is an indicator of the diameter of the bolts that are used to install the wheel. Wheel rims from different manufacturers have their own bolt pattern indicators, so increased care is required when taking into account the requirements of a particular car brand. As a rule, they are written down in the service book for convenient use of information in practice.
