Selection of tires and wheels for the Lada Granta car
Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the Lada Granta , 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 the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which presupposes the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products. Unfortunately, most car owners prefer not to go into such technical nuances. A fully automatic selection system in this case is perhaps the only way to avoid the wrong choice when purchasing tires and rims. And it is very wide, which is due to the diversity of the range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

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.

Characteristics of standard tires on the Lada Granta Liftback
The premium and most expensive modification of this car is considered to be the Lada Granta Liftback, equipped not only with a 1.6 engine, like the Sport package, but also in the most complete versions, the manufacturer installs a 5-speed automatic transmission on it.
Wheels for Lada Granta Liftback
Belshina tires are installed on domestic cars, namely the Art Motion model, since the concern has long had business relations with its Belarusian partner. These tires are installed in sizes 14 and 15 inches, and the most prestigious option is equipped with tires from the world famous brand Continental with a seat diameter of R16. As for the standard version, the model’s rims are shod with tires with dimensions 190/65/R15:
- The sole width of 195 mm is sufficient for dynamic driving around the city; the car does not fall under its own weight, since the large area of contact with the road surface greatly reduces the specific pressure per cm² of soil. The high profile provides a very powerful air gap between the disc rim and the road, which acts as a natural shock absorber.
- A profile with a height of 65 mm obliges you to install tires only with a reinforced side cord in the summer, because when driving fast and performing maneuvers at high speed, deformation of the tires is possible, up to their depressurization.
This height of the side surface allows you to install high-quality all-season tires and completely forget about the annual re-shoeing of the vehicle.
- The size of the R15, of course, is too small for driving outside the city. But together with the 65 mm profile, the total diameter of the wheel assembly is 15 x 25.4 + 65 + 65 = 511 mm, which is quite enough to provide normal ground clearance for a compact liftback.
The luggage compartment volume for the Lada Granta Liftback is significantly larger than that of the sedan. If the driver, when purchasing a car, plans to transport cargo, for example, when traveling to the country, he should install tires with a higher load index in order to provide them with a sufficient margin of safety. In other cases, the wheel size for the Grant can be safely selected in accordance with the recommendations of AvtoVAZ.

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 2021?
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.
What does the size of tires and wheels affect?
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.

Selection of tires by model
Recommended size of tires and wheels for Lada Granta (before and after 2020)
Knowing the size of the “shoes”, all that remains is to choose the style. Any car should have two sets of tires: winter and summer. Winter tires are installed without waiting for frost, but when the thermometer regularly drops below +5 degrees.
To save on the purchase of winter tires, some drivers make the mistaken decision to drive all-season tires. Therefore, we will make a small digression and explain why this should not be done.
When and what tires are needed for a car?
Let’s say right away that there are no tires that behave stably in any conditions. Why then is the tire called all-season? Because of the tread, which must have a deep relief and grooves through which water, dirt, and slush can easily pass.
All-season tires are tires that are comfortable to drive in the off-season, when the air temperature varies from +7 to -10 degrees. It is often marked M+S (mud/snow), which confuses many.
But in fact, an all-season tire is a summer tire and is not suitable for year-round driving, even in the southern regions of the country.
- All mud tires, and all winter tires, have an all-season tread. The only difference is in the rubber composition, which is designed for positive or negative wheel operation. On a winter tire, for better grip on icy roads, many thread-like sipes are made, which distinguishes it from all-season tires.
- Studless winter tires are popularly called Velcro. On such tires, the car feels great in icy conditions, but when the temperature outside is consistently positive (above +6-7 degrees), it must be changed to summer shoes.
- Winter tires are much softer, so if you try to drive them in the summer, they will wear out quickly. Studded tires are better suited for driving on snow, so when in winter you have to drive not on cleared asphalt, but on a country road, it is better to give preference to studded tires.
- All year round, all-season vehicles are driven mainly by trucks and buses, on which changing wheels is a labor-intensive process, and besides, there are usually more than four of them. True, in severe frosts and snowfalls they have a hard time riding on such tires.
And another important factor is for those who spend a lot of time driving. A tire for winter use is much softer than a summer one, but it is also noisy when driving, especially the studded one.
The summer one, and it is also an all-season one, in severe frosts “steals” and just rattles. And this is not to mention the fact that you will not so much ride on the ice as perform figure skating.
1. You should look for the right tires, keeping in mind the factory dimensional specifications. The size of the selected tires must match these data. 2
Pay attention to the tread pattern. Driving comfort largely depends on it
3
Pay attention to the width parameters. The acceleration and braking of a car is affected by the width of the spot converging with the road surface.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the bore diameter. Tires that are excessively high or wide can damage the suspension, while tires that are too narrow will increase the load on the bearings. 5
It is important to take into account the maximum speed index and the load capacity index. 6
Treadwear, Traction, Temperature and MaxPressure data provide information on the tire's factory wear life, braking performance, temperature resistance and pressure limit for the tire respectively.

Wheels on a car are, without a doubt, one of the main components of the entire structure. Currently, the AvtoVAZ concern installs wheels and tires of various diameters on the Lada Granta model range, depending on the configuration of a particular car. In this article we will take a closer look at which tires and wheels are best suited for this model from the Russian manufacturer, as well as how increasing the diameter and width of the wheel from the “stock” one affects the car’s behavior on the road.
Factory tire and wheel sizes
In most cases, the Lada Granta is equipped from the factory with “stamps” and light alloy wheels with a radius of 13 and 14 inches, but not so long ago they also began to be equipped with 15-inch wheels.
Lada Granta in the “Standard” and “Norma” configurations were equipped with 13 wheels. But you need to look at the size of the front brake disc, it can be 14th wheel radius
These durable steel wheels consist of a rim onto which the tire is directly attached. This entire structure, or rather its elements, are connected to each other using strong welding. And for convenience during operation, each disc contains information about the width of the rim profile, the moment of disc departure and other indicators.
After a certain point in time, the wheel rims will need to be checked for lateral and radial runout. Such maintenance should certainly be carried out at tire service stations or technical service stations. service.
Wheel rim bolt pattern on Lada Granta
The manufacturer advises installing wheels on the Lada Granta with a diameter (A) of 13 to 15 inches, with a profile width (B) of 5-6 J, with an offset (ET) of 33 to 38 millimeters, with the usual AvtoVAZ bolt pattern - PSD 4*98 ,DIA 58.5 .
All these parameters are most clearly presented in this picture.

A little about wheels
Tires - Today, these are one of the most high-tech products on which safe and comfortable movement by car directly depends. There are a large number of tires on the market today from many different manufacturers. They consist of a frame, a protector and a breaker layer between them. And also the toughest part of the tire - the bead, which is designed for reliable fixation and sealing on the rim.
Disks - In the modern world, a wheel includes two parts: the rim - which is a surface closed in a ring with sides on which the tire is fixed, and the disk - which is a support for the rim with holes for fixing the entire wheel to the hub, most often using bolts or hairpins. Currently, there are the following types of discs: stamped, cast, forged, composite and combined.

What is the tire pressure
What is the volume of the fret grant tank?
Tire pressure is a relative value, but for tires of different sizes it should be almost the same. The pressure indicator does not mean the amount of air, but the ratio of air in the tire to its total volume. According to the factory parameters, the pressure in R13 tires should be 1.9 atmospheres, while for R14 and R15 tires the pressure must be maintained at two atmospheres.
At the same time, do not forget about the regular load on the car. If the load is the average load capacity of a vehicle of this model, then the tire pressure must be maintained at the above level. In cases where most of the time the car owner loads the vehicle to the maximum, the tire pressure should be increased by 0.2 atmospheres.
Pressure tends to influence two of the most important indicators of a vehicle.
- Safety. You should not be lenient about the tire pressures recommended by the manufacturer in the vehicle's technical specifications. At high speeds, reduced pressure increases braking distance and reduces agility and controllability.
- Gasoline consumption. With a reduced level of tire pressure, the engine has to work more intensively, which leads to increased fuel consumption. In addition, the wear resistance of the tread is reduced.
What wheels were installed on different bodies and configurations?
In four different configurations of Lada Granta, the diameter of the wheels used ranges from 13 to 16 inches:
- Standard - 5Jx13ET35, 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
- Standard - 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
- Lux – 5Jx15ET35, 6Jx15ET
- Sport - 5Jx15ET35; in the sports package they also began installing wheels with a 16 radius and low-profile tires in size 195/50R
The first digital designation of these markings indicates the width of the rim in inches, the following indicators from 13 to 16 are the diameter of the disk, ET35 is the offset in mm.
The standard bolt pattern parameters are the same as those of old VAZ models - 4x98, that is, 4 holes, the centers of which are located along a circle with a diameter of 98 mm.
The diameter of the central hole according to the hub used is 58.6 mm. The most popular rim size among Lada Granta owners is considered to be R14, but many people prefer to drive on 15 rims.
Tire size table for Lada Granta Sport
“Lada Granta Sport” is one of the luxury modifications of the popular VAZ model, which has a fairly powerful 1.6i engine with 113 horsepower. For this configuration, the concern's engineers equip the car with wheels that are more durable than the simpler versions of this car. Recommended wheel rim parameters for Granta Sport are given in the following table:
Rim width, inches | Disc diameter, inches | Reach (ET indicator), mm | Wheel bolt pattern (pcs x mm) | DIA (diameter of the central hole), mm |
6J | 15 | 35 | 4×98 | 58,6 |
6J | 16 | 35 | 4×98 | 58,6 |
6.5J | 16 | 33 | 4×98 | 58,6 |
7J | 17 | 30 | 4×98 | 58,6 |
R17 wheels on Lada Granta Sport
In addition to rims, drivers must choose tires correctly, because for normal operation of the car all the parameters of the wheel assembly are important, and not its individual parts. Below is another table that clearly displays all the compatibility indicators of Granta Sport wheels for the above wheel parameters:
Standard disk sizes
When talking about wheel sizes, it is not enough to just mention their diameter. The remaining parameters are important for understanding whether they are comparable to the hub of a Lada Granta car, as well as what type of tire they are intended for.
For example, rim width is the size of the tire seat. The mounting hole pattern gives an idea of whether additional spacer adapters will have to be used. As noted above, this car uses a 4x98 wheel installation scheme with a center of 58.6 mm.
Disc offset is a fairly important indicator, especially when using wide wheels. It reflects in mm the distance from the hub mounting pad to the plane that visually divides the rim into two rings of equal width. Disc diameters are measured in inches.
As standard, the Lada Granta is equipped with sizes R13, R14, R15. It is rare to find a model with 16 discs.
The table shows the recommended tire sizes and the corresponding wheels.
Tires | Discs |
175/70R13 | 5Jx13ET35 |
175/65R14 | 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET35 |
185/60R14 | 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET35 |
185/55R15 | 5Jx15ET35, 6Jx15ET35 |
195/50R16 | 6.5Jx16ET29 |
The numbers indicated through a fraction in the tire size mean: tire width / profile height as a percentage of the width. The Latin letter “R” indicates the type of tire - radial. The last numbers correspond to the diameter of the disk.
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 drives can be installed
It is clear that any car manufacturer, just like AvtoVAZ, always recommends installing only its original sets of spare parts. But replacing a wheel rim with non-standard samples has long been considered completely commonplace.
Often such a replacement can even improve handling characteristics and reduce financial costs. The wrong approach to this issue can lead to the repair of suspension elements and the entire chassis of the car.
Owners of Grants sometimes notice that the standard set with winter tires copes with its functions worse than the less wide non-standard options. Wide wheels are prone to skidding and hydroplaning.
Regardless of the reasons why the discs are replaced, inexpensive stamped products, cast or forged options can be installed on the Lada Granta. If the stamp is made only of steel, then the material for the production of light alloy wheels can be aluminum, titanium and magnesium alloys.
Stamped wheels, despite their unattractive appearance, are in high demand due to their practicality. Firstly, this is the cheapest replacement option, and secondly, with strong impacts such a product will only bend, which can always be fixed, and the unattractive appearance can be easily hidden with inexpensive plastic caps.
But their high weight reduces the dynamics of vehicle acceleration and increases fuel consumption, which often tips the scales towards the purchase of cast and forged wheels, which, due to their lightness and high thermal conductivity, improve dynamics and contribute to faster cooling of the brake elements. Products made from titanium alloy have the most attractive appearance and have the best strength, but they are also the most expensive of this product segment.
Their aluminum counterparts are more popular. They are not as expensive as titanium, but in terms of strength they meet all safety requirements, and, moreover, they look great. The disadvantages of cast wheels include their worse strength characteristics than stamped steel options and high cost. A strong blow can permanently damage the disk.

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 the Lada Granta Sport 2021?
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.
