Bolt pattern for VAZ 2112 - what kind of bolt pattern for VAZ

In all modifications of the VAZ 2110, the bolt pattern in the factory configuration is 4x98. “Dozens” rolled off the assembly lines with stamped wheel disks - diameter R13, as well as with cast ones - diameter R14.

The wheels were fitted with tires measuring 175/70 R13 or 175/65 R14. However, if the sizes of wheels and tires are relatively clear values, then what a bolt pattern is is a big mystery to many.

Disc bolt pattern and factory tire sizes on the VAZ-2112

On all models of the VAZ-2112 car from the factory, the bolt pattern had a size of 4x98 . And straight from the assembly line it was supposed to install wheels with a 13th and 14th radius and tires of size 175/70 R13 or 175/65 R14 .

Such “stamps” are suitable for VAZ-2112 (Kremenchug)The following two tabs change content below.

However, if in the case of size, then everything is more or less clear, then what a bolt pattern is is a big mystery to many. We will tell you more about this below.

Preparing for adjustment

Most often, the VAZ 2110 camber and alignment are installed at a service station, but you can do it yourself. First of all, check whether there is play in the bearings and whether the steering is loose. At the same time, check the diameter and absence of deformation of the disks, air pressure in the tires, and tread wear.

Naturally, if a wheel is loose, action will need to be taken, and one with improper tread wear may need to be replaced. Wheels standing on the ground need to be pulled relative to the vertical. If you find any play, have a helper apply the brake and check the play again.

If it disappears, the bearing needs to be replaced. If after this the size of the play not only does not disappear, but only decreases slightly, the suspension needs to be checked, repaired, and sometimes replaced.

After this, hang the wheel and check the play again. It is possible that the play has disappeared, but the wheel turns jerkily or is simply difficult, then you need to slightly expand the diameter of the bearing installation site.

Rear suspension

If you hear a grinding noise, the bearing needs to be replaced.

What is a bolt pattern?

4 holes for bolts is 4.

• The first number “4” indicated in the parameters indicates the number of holes located on the hub, intended for screwing wheel bolts into them.
• The second number “98” indicates the diameter in millimeters of the circle in which those same mounting bolts are located.

Thus, it is not at all difficult to calculate that the bolts are located at a distance of 69.3 mm from each other.

Wheels for cars

A model such as the VAZ 2112 has long been firmly entrenched in the country’s market as legendary. During production, a huge number of vehicles were produced. The popularity is due to the low price and ease of maintenance of the machine. It was produced in sedan, station wagon, hatchback and coupe bodies.

Regardless of the body type, the same wheels were installed on 2112 from AvtoVAZ. The cars had absolutely identical parameters and characteristics. High popularity and widespread distribution have created a huge number of offers for the sale of spare parts, wheels and tires.

Important!

The VAZ 2112 comes off the assembly line only on rims with radii R13 and R14.

Many car enthusiasts prefer to install wheels that exceed the factory dimensions; in this case, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the wheel arches. It is necessary that the wheel does not touch the arch structure while driving.

In the factory configuration, in addition to stamped options, there are also some versions with cast products. However, every car owner comes to a time when it is necessary to change wheels. This happens due to excessive wear and tear, multiple damages, changing seasons and many other reasons.

When such a need arises, there is plenty to choose from on the country’s market. Both original stamped or light alloy wheels and products from various other brands are presented.

Forged wheels for VAZ 2112

Over all the years that the car was produced, there were no changes in the parameters and characteristics of the wheel mounts. This means that you can easily install them from earlier or other models to the latest ones and vice versa. Some Russian wheel manufacturers produce a special line of products for the VAZ 2112. This guarantees a perfect match of all sizes.

The most popular is the installation of 15 rims on 2112. This is the most convenient solution, since this size meets all the manufacturer’s requirements and does not affect the smoothness and comfort of the ride.

Note!

Almost all cars in the line have identical drilling parameters.

Its standard parameter is 4x98. This means that to install the wheels, four bolts are required, which are fastened at an axial distance of 98 millimeters. It is a very popular mounting method among machines of any manufacturer. In this regard, car owners usually do not have difficulties with the selection of wheel rims.

If there is a need to replace wheel rims, then many different parameters and characteristics should be taken into account. The main dimensions include the width and height of the rim, offset and drilling. Taking them into account, you can buy products regardless of the method of their production.

To make the right selection, it is important to know the following factors:

• In winter, it is better to use wheels with a minimum diameter and rim width. This is due to the need to obtain maximum stability in bad weather on any road surface;
• During the period from spring to early autumn, when driving conditions are normal, there is no need to comply with any requirements. You can install products of the maximum permissible sizes, which will give greater controllability and stability on the road;
• The height of the rubber profile affects the level of wear and comfort. When increasing the rim diameter in summer, you should lower the tire profile height.

Among tuning enthusiasts, it is popular to modify the design of a car to install very large wheels.

It is worth knowing that intervention in the design of the machine must be done very carefully, and it is better to entrust it to professionals. Exceeding the recommended dimensions may lead to difficulties in obtaining annual government maintenance. Also, installing large wheels will greatly affect the comfort of movement.

conclusions

It’s not at all difficult to understand such parameters, the main thing is to remember them and choosing suitable wheels ceases to be a difficulty.

Dull VAZ stamped wheels are often hidden behind elaborate plastic caps. And for good reason. Every owner of a VAZ-2110 wants his car to stand out from the mass of gray and black dozens.

One of the ways to improve the appearance of a car is deservedly considered to be replacing the wheels. Not many people think that when selecting a replacement disk, you need to take into account not only the number of mounting holes. Today we will look into the bolt pattern of VAZ-2110 wheels and select several options for a simple and bloodless replacement.

Self-adjustment

Next, you need to stand on a level surface and load the machine, as recommended by the manufacturer. That is, about 320 kg in the cabin and 40 kg in the trunk.

The first adjustment is to set the pitch angles of the turning axis. The second is camber, the third is toe.

In this case, the camber angle in the loaded state should be 0°30'+-30'. The toe-in should be within 0°15'+-10', and the pitch angles of the steering axes should be 0°20'+-30'.

Remember that camber and other wheel adjustments are necessary in all cases when you in any way interfere with the operation of the front suspension of the VAZ 2110.

Wheel bolt pattern parameters for VAZ-2110

Stamped wheel 5.0J14 4×98 ET35 d58.6 for VAZ-2110.

All VAZ vehicles are equipped with rims that meet the so-called “Italian” standard. And this is not in vain, if you remember the history of the plant. The disk parameters for the VAZ-2110 are as follows: 5Jx13 PCD4x98 ET35-40 DIA58.6. In order not to get lost in symbols and numbers, let’s look at each parameter in order:

• 5J - means that VAZ cars of the tenth family can have a rim width of 5 inches, with the maximum allowable width being 5.5 inches ;
• 13 or 14 - disk diameter in inches;
• PCD 4×98 - this is the same bolt pattern, which is no more important than other parameters of the disk, it means that the disk has 4 holes, the centers of which are located at a diameter of 98 mm (Pitch Circle Diameter ), a single parameter for all VAZ cars except Lada 4x4;
• ET 35-40 - the minimum and maximum possible disc offset, that is, the distance from the geometric center of the disc to the mating plane of the wheel to the hub;
• DIA 58.6 is the diameter of the disk mounting hole on the hub; this parameter is the same for all VAZ cars (except Lada 4x4).

The exact parameters of the wheel rim must be stamped on it.

Wheel alignment

After replacing wheel rims, the dimensions and bolt patterns of which differ from those provided for by the design of the VAZ 2110, it is necessary to make all the necessary adjustments in order to ensure reliable protection of the entire chassis, as well as tires and arches.

Correct alignment angles are required for each front wheel. There are three parameters that require correct installation: wheel toe, caster angles of the steering axles, and camber angles of each wheel.

Wheel installation options

The rules by which the parameters of the front wheel are set are as follows:

1. You won't go far if everything hangs out the way it wants, and the car is pulled to the side when it should be going straight. To ensure the stability of each front wheel, they are installed strictly at the required angles to the body and suspension elements. This is called the longitudinal inclination angles of the turning axis. Installation dimensions are indicated in the instruction manual;
2. Camber is the angle between the plane in which the wheel rotates and the vertical. The camber bolt helps install it (it secures the telescopic strut and steering knuckle). If the camber is installed incorrectly, the car “steals” and the tire tread wears out more on one side;

3. The angle between the longitudinal axis of the car and the plane of rotation of the wheel is called toe. It is toe that is responsible for the controllability of the front wheel when cornering and at different speeds. If the toe is set incorrectly, there is severe lateral tire wear, tires squeal when cornering, and even increased fuel consumption.

Tips for selecting stamped products

On a note.

Wheel rims that are made using a method such as stamping can easily be called the most common for cars. Frequent installation of just such wheels is associated with the simplicity and low cost of manufacturing products of this type.

Forged wheels are not attractive in terms of design and have poor performance, but are inexpensive.

As for installation requirements, in this case they are identical to cast products. It is necessary to ensure that the parameters and dimensions of the fasteners and overhang match.

Review of the best summer and winter tires

It is better to acquire separate sets of summer and winter tires in advance. Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde tires are ideal for the warm season. Their cost is relatively high (from 3,500 rubles per 1 tire). However, they perform excellently on wet asphalt and are highly resistant to wear.

• Continental Conti Premium Contact 5 is well balanced. There are a large number of special drainage channels - they make it easy to drain water from the contact patch. This kit will cost slightly less than the one discussed above.
• Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance provides good grip and low fuel consumption. However, the tread thins out quite quickly - especially during intense driving. The rubber is soft and handles well. Despite its softness, it is difficult to damage it redder.
• Dunlop Sport BluResponse is relatively cheap compared to all the options discussed above. However, it has its weaknesses. For example, on wet asphalt the wheels slip a lot and handling deteriorates.

• Semperit Comfort-Life 2 is a rare guest on Russian territory. However, on dry asphalt at positive temperatures it performs more than well. However, rubber is distinguished by its noise.
• GOODYEAR 175/70R14 UG ICE ARCTIC D-STUD - studded tires at a relatively low cost. Regardless of the ambient temperature, it retains its flexibility and softness. Cost – from 4,000 rubles.
• HANKOOK 175/70R14 W429 is a more budget option. Cost – from 2,800 rubles. Thanks to the deep tread and flexible design, the driver can feel completely safe on the road.
• KUMHO 175/70R14 WI31 84T usually costs several hundred rubles cheaper than the modification discussed above. The presence of studs makes this tire safe on almost any road.

• VIATTI TIRES 175/70R14 BRINA NORDICO is manufactured using rubber mixing technology. Reinforced lugs make this model indispensable not only in winter, but also on dirt roads in summer.
• SAVA 175/70R14 ESKIMO ICE MS is the most profitable option. It has a relatively low price (from 2,000 rubles). There are no thorns. However, the deep tread and its shape provide high-quality, reliable contact with any surface.

Choosing suitable tires for the VAZ 2110 is a relatively simple process

However, it is important to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of tire selection in advance. Wheels that are too large can easily damage the vehicle body

Corrosion protection

For reliable operation of the chassis, everything is important: the bolt pattern, the dimensions of all components, the alignment/camber settings, and even the protection of the arches from corrosion. It is the arches that are more susceptible to adverse factors than other parts of the body - from ordinary moisture during rain to reagents on winter roads

To ensure reliable protection of the arches, it is best to install lockers (fender liners) on the VAZ 2110. Such protection will cost much less than subsequent repairs of rusted arches

It is important to choose the correct size of the lockers and ensure their tight fit in the area of ​​the arches

We hope that by completing all the repair work yourself, you will provide your VAZ 2110 with many years of trouble-free service on the road.

Manufacturers

The domestic industry produces several types of rubber suitable for LADA 112. Tires that are in good demand today are:

• Kama - in Russian and European versions.
• Cordiant.

Many VAZ 2112 owners prefer to put foreign-made tires on their car. The most popular are:

• Yokohama,
• Bridgestone
• Goodyear
• Nokian Hakka Green,
• Michelin.

When choosing tires, it is very important to consider the quietness of the rubber. If it makes a loud sound, the ride comfort will be lost. It must be said that when choosing tires, it is also necessary to take into account what roads the VAZ will drive on, driving style and travel distance.
