Any car owner knows what an important role the sizes of tires and rims play in driving a vehicle. All car brands have individual wheel sizes set by the designers when creating the model.
A car wheel consists of two parts: a disk and a tire mounted on it. For the Lada Vesta brand, the domestic AvtoVAZ has laid down the following wheel parameters:
- R15 – disk radius;
- tire width 185mm;
- profile height 65 percent;
- speed index (H) no more than 210 km per hour;
- maximum permissible weight – no more than 560 kg.
Tires for Vesta are produced under the name Art Motion by Belshina. There are several types of tires for winter and summer use. The rubber is soft, highly wear-resistant, low-noise and has excellent contact with the road surface. The Lada Vesta car is equipped with rims for the specified tires.
The basic version uses stamped models with dimensions 6J15 ET50 4×100 60.1. The manufacturer of the wheels is the Krasnoyarsk K&K plant, which, in addition to stamping, produced light-alloy models called Anna-15 for the domestic Vesta car.
What do these letters and numbers mean?
- 6J indicates the width of the product, in inches
- 15 indicates the diameter of the disk, an inch is also taken as a basis
- ET50 – reach, mm
- 4x100 – bolt pattern (PCD), which gives the driver an understanding of the number of mounting bolts (4) located along a 100mm long circle
- 60.1 – diameter of the central hole of the disk (DIA).
More expensive modifications of Vesta have a tire size of 195/55 R16 with a load index of 91H or 91T. These tires are supplied to AvtoVAZ by the German concern Continental. Alloy wheels for these tires are manufactured by the same K&K. They are called Ptalomey and have dimensions 6Jx16 ET50 4x100 60.1.
A car of the subsequent Lux modification can be equipped with R17 wheels from the same manufacturer for an additional fee.
Dimensions of standard wheels
On the conveyor, Vesta is equipped with wheel rims of dimensions from R15 to R16 with a width of 5.5 to 6.5 inches. The ET offset is in the range of 40 - 50. As for the bolt pattern, it is the same for all modifications of the car - 4x100 mm. The diameter of the central hole for landing on the hub is 60.1 mm.
AvtoVAZ recommends using only original wheel models with standard dimensions for its cars. Otherwise, the plant does not guarantee the performance and safety of using such parts.
Replacing wheels on a Lada Vesta with your own hands
To replace it, you must go through the preparatory stage. To do this, place the car on a level surface, secure it with the parking brake, and you can engage first gear. You will need a standard tool for this procedure - a jack, a wheel wrench.
Before lifting the car with a jack, you should loosen the bolts holding the wheel. After this, a lifting device is installed under the car - its heel must exactly coincide with the standard place, which is called the “jack”. The car rises until the desired wheel lifts off the ground by 20-40 mm. Now you can completely unscrew the bolts, remove the wheel and install a new one, tightening the bolts as much as possible.
The jack is lowered, and with the help of a wrench, the wheel bolts are finally tightened crosswise with maximum force. After about a few hundred kilometers, you should check the tightness of the wheel bolts. The remaining wheels are replaced in the same way.
What kind of disks can be installed?
Choosing the right wheel size for the Lada Vesta is not difficult at all. The markets offer a huge range of products that can replace domestic original ones, because any spare part has its own service life and sooner or later fails. The simplest and most inexpensive stamped wheels, as well as more improved light-alloy models, are suitable for replacement.
Stamped disks are heavier and their performance characteristics are slightly worse compared to cast and forged models.
There are several positive points:
- the strength of the products is higher, they withstand mechanical stress better;
- have low cost;
- they can be restored and repaired.
Lada Vesta fits 16-inch alloy wheels 175/70 and 205/60, as well as larger sizes 175/55 R17 and 195/50 R18. For Vesta SV Cross, 18-inch ones look better.
Unlike their counterparts, forged models have a higher degree of strength and less wear. These wheels are the lightest, which has a positive effect on driving dynamics and fuel efficiency. Along with all the positive aspects, forged wheels have a high cost and not everyone can afford to purchase such a luxury. Therefore, such wheels are extremely rare on Lada Vesta.
The car manufacturer made sure that the buyer did not have a question about where to get the necessary wheels. AvtoVAZ entered into an agreement with the K&K company, now the products of this plant are unified with the Lada Vesta passenger car. When choosing a disk, you need to pay special attention to its markings. The data must fully comply with the manufacturer's recommended values.
Advice. In winter, it is better to install wheels and tires with a smaller width; this will give the car confidence in handling on slippery roads.
Another nuance that is worth paying attention to when choosing the disk you like. Many drivers strive to install wider wheels. In this case, the manufacturer does not bear any guarantee for the consequences, since AvtoVAZ only declares certain sizes. Increasing the disk parameters can lead to a loss of comfort and controllability when driving the car. It is important to set your priorities correctly and choose the best.
Lada Vesta allows you to mount wheels of a wide range of sizes. In this case, you need to pay special attention to turning the wheel so that the tread does not touch the car arch. If you want to install a wider rim, you need to reduce the tire profile height. But this reduces the comfort of driving the car.
Launching the hidden - special functions of LADA Vesta
Lada Vesta is equipped with a modern on-board computer. It has a small screen that is installed under the speedometer. Its purpose is to increase the efficiency of the power unit, synchronize and optimize the operation of units, reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
The on-board computer displays the following data:
- parameters and standard settings;
- travel time, total mileage and mileage per trip;
- transmission, transmission prompter;
- costs and remaining fuel;
- clock, mains voltage, outside temperature;
- average speed, cruise control/speed limit indicators.
System settings allow you to navigate through the parameters and data of the car. The built-in trip computer has many necessary and useful functions that are not found in other machines. You can, for example, set the clock or open the bookmaker's secret menu. The onborder informs the driver about malfunctions.
Acceptable tire sizes
| Wheel diameter | Width height |
| R15 | 175/70 |
| R15 | 205/60 |
| R16 | 185/60 |
| R17 | 175/55 |
| R17 | 195/50 |
Knowing certain parameters of tires and rims, the problems of replacing wheels on a Lada Vesta car can be avoided. The manufacturer allows the installation of a large number of dimensions within the wheel diameter R 15 - 17. Some even manage to fit 18-inch models into the car.
It all depends on the desires and capabilities of the buyer. Properly selected wheels are the key to safety on the road. It is advisable to avoid mistakes and installation of unsuitable wheels and tires.
Vesta SV wheels from the factory
The standard dimensions of the slopes of the basic West SV assemblies coming off the AvtoVAZ assembly line have parameters such as 185/65/R1588Н . Some batches of these vehicles may be equipped with T-series tires. In this case:
- 185 – means the width of the slope in mm;
- 65 is the percentage of the tire profile compared to its width. If in millimeters, then it will be 65/100*185=120.25;
- R15 is not the radius, but the diameter of the rim intended for this tire in inches;
- 88 – this digital index indicates the tire’s permissible load capacity of 560 kg;
- H – means permissible speed up to 210 km/h. While T is 190 km/h.
Pressure
Many beginners do not take into account the pressure in the wheels at all, but, meanwhile, it is extremely important - and this applies not only to low-profile tires, but to any tires in general. The value of this indicator must be written by the manufacturer in the manual for working with the machine, as well as on the body in an accessible place
In particular, for Lada Vesta there is such a mark at the central pillar on the driver's side.
But still, low-profile tires require more control, because insufficient pressure increases the effect of imperfections in the road surface on the wheel as a whole. In practice, in low-profile tires this figure is usually increased by 15% when compared with the value recommended by the manufacturer.
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 the VAZ Vesta SW Cross (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 Vesta SW Cross 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.

Topic: Original standard tires on Vesta
What tires are standard on the Lada Vesta? Pirelli? Or does each dealer have their own price?

In its own way, is it like backwards? Dealers don't supply tires; tires are installed at the factory. By the way, VAZ has unbalanced wheels from the factory, will this problem transfer to Vesta or not? And is this a warranty case?

I'm talking about the store, if there is an imbalance on the disk, then they take away the set without any problems, this is a defect, but of course all the tires can be said to be imbalanced. If you prove that the disc is crooked, of course it should be replaced like any other low-quality product.

Re: Original standard tires on Vesta
Now they are setting up a matador. A strange leapfrog with the choice of tire supplier, to be honest.

Re: Original standard tires on Vesta
Three days ago I changed my shoes to summer Pirelli, which the salon gave me. Today I noticed a hernia on the front wheel. I didn’t get into any potholes, I didn’t really drive the car these days. Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Perhaps it’s a defect, or perhaps they slipped it in on purpose, but now you can’t prove anything.

Re: Original standard tires on Vesta
A spare tire is placed on the spare tire in the luxury suite. Quite sad.

Re: Original standard tires on Vesta
They put a spare tire on the spare tire in the deluxe.
Not a re-roller, but a full-fledged wheel stamped for 15

The instructions say “temporary use wheel”. As I understand it, it’s simply due to the difference in size, although the ABS sensors may get confused.

Re: Original standard tires on Vesta
. I understand it's just because of the size difference
The rim is 15 and the tires are higher overall the same size

This is IDEAL, in life a penny does not match a penny. Because a 5 percent step of changing the profile height does not allow millimetering the size of the rolling radius
Previously, it wasn’t really that important; I threw the wheel on the non-driving axle and let it roll. Now with the presence of ABS sensors and the addition of their functions, the accuracy of the wheel rolling radius increases
This is most likely why they write that the spare tire is temporary, although it is a 100% normal wheel, not a re-roller.

Good afternoon, dear comrade! I would like to address myself as a more experienced owner of a “tall red girl.” Winter is approaching and I also plan to buy an R15 casting for the winter. I bought winter tires 185/65/15. And here I got stuck... at the stage of selecting disks. So you bought the wheels, what are their exact parameters? R15, 4*100, DIA 60.1 right? What's the flight? The standard one is 41 or 43; it turned out that there are no such disks at all. those. The departure should be different, but acceptable? Which one do you have on these disks? BUT this is not the most important question, the most important is the width, what is the width of the rim for this tire and for this car? 6.5? + It turned out that the size of the disks smaller than R17 Vesta Cross is not provided for in the operating instructions, and violation of this paragraph may result in refusal of repairs under the chassis warranty. But this is a philosophical matter, I’m just interested in your opinion. + I have a question - in theory, on the West Cross, everything is the same as on the X-ray? those. Will any drive from X-ray fit like a native one on ours? I didn’t think that I would have so many difficulties when choosing a regular casting for a Russian car))
