What wheels are on Vesta
Initially, the car was offered only in a sedan body. And depending on the configuration option, you could order wheels of either 15th or 16th diameter. The situation did not change with the advent of the SW station wagon - the wheels on the Lada Vesta SV are exactly the same as those on the SE sedan. And only with the advent of the Cross all-terrain version in sedan and station wagon bodies, the size of Lada Vesta wheels increased to a diameter of 17 inches. And this again distinguishes the car from all previous versions of LADA, which in the factory configuration were offered mainly with wheels with a diameter of 13, 14 and 15 inches.

Large wheels are also available in the Lada Vesta Sport version - and 17-inch tires are mounted on wheels that differ from the standard ones in the number of bolts, bolt pattern and centering hole.

* version for Lada Vesta Sport
What wheels does the Lada Vesta have as standard? In the basic version, stamped wheels for Vesta are available, and only 15-diameter. They are produced by AvtoVAZ subsidiaries. Alloy wheels are optionally available for the Vesta from K&K model ANNA-15. And if you ordered a package with 16-diameter wheels, then they will definitely be light alloy – also from K&K, model Ptalomey-16. The same model, Ptalomey-17, is available in a luxury configuration with 17-inch wheels.
The situation is similar with tires. In basic trim levels, standard summer tires are cheaper off the assembly line, but in rich trim levels they are more expensive. Tires 185/65/R15 88 N are produced in Russia - these are Pirelli Cinturato P1 tires. Although at the start of sales in November 2015, there were Vestas on Belshina ArtMotion Bel-280 tires. The Matador is installed on 16-inch wheels, the model depends on the year of manufacture and configuration. There may be a Matador MP 47 Hectorra 3 or a Matador MP44 Elite 3. But on 17-inch wheels, which are ordered separately, there will be German Continental EcoContact 6 tires (winter tires - Continental WinterContact). By the way, Vesta Sport has premium Continental ContiSportContact 5 tires.
Dimensions and specifications
The most economical solution is to purchase stamped wheels for the Lada Vesta SV Cross. They have a less attractive appearance and small R15 sizes. However, this will be the most economical offer in stores. They have increased strength and shock resistance. In addition, 15-inch wheels will give the car the most comfortable and smooth ride. In this case, tires should be chosen in size 175/70 R15.
As for cast products, this is a more expressive purchase from a design point of view. Made from cast aluminum and magnesium alloy, these wheels will provide maximum performance to your vehicle.
Original alloy wheels on the Lada Vesta Cross are expensive. However, they have less weight, even despite their large diameter of 17 inches. They will give the car greater stability and dynamics.
In this case, the following requirements must be followed:
- If the wheel size is 205/60 R15 or 175/70 R15, then this is the best choice for the winter.
- If the tire sizes are 185/60 R16, then handling will increase, and the level of comfort will not decrease noticeably.
- As for the radius of the R17, the level of comfort will decrease slightly, but handling and road stability will noticeably increase.

Bolt pattern and other parameters of Vesta disks
Many technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta are radically different from all previous AvtoVAZ cars. Including the bolt pattern, which has now become 4*100. That is, four bolts remained, but the distance between them increased by 2 mm, compared to the Priors and other VAZ models. The size of the central hole of the wheel rim (DIA) in all Vesta wheels is 60.1 mm. Don’t forget to check these wheels by markings when you look for a replacement - you simply won’t be able to install wheels with other parameters.
Original wheel for Vesta Sport with bolt pattern 5*114.3
In addition to discs, Vesta uses bolts with different thread pitches. So the regular Lada Vesta comes with M12x1.5 bolts, and the Vesta Sport has M12x1.25 nuts. Where “12” is the diameter of the stud in mm, and 1.25 or 1.5 is the thread size. For wheels with a diameter wider than the standard, extended bolts on Vesta will be useful.
Other dimensions of Vesta wheels are width and offset (ET). For wheels of 15 and 16 diameters, the width is always 6 inches and the offset is 50 mm. For 17-diameter wheels, the width is 6.5 inches and the offset is 43 mm.
A separate issue is the factory wheels for the Lada Vesta Sport, which has been in production since last year. Non-standard wheels with a central hole with a diameter of 66.1 mm and a bolt pattern of 5*114.3 are used here. That is, “sports” wheels are mounted with five bolts and it is impossible to install them on other versions of Vesta.
Tires for Lada Vesta Concept model
The Lada Vesta Concept version is equipped with very large wheels - R18. Tires for them are installed 235/45.
The tires installed by the manufacturer on the Lada Vesta have high driving performance, reliability during operation, and a long service life.
If you don’t know what pressure is in the Lada Vesta tires, then this article will answer your question.
Please note that it is necessary to check tire pressure quite often, as this directly affects driving safety. Manufacturers also set standards for each specific car so that the driver has something to focus on.
The Lada Vesta instruction manual contains the following values:
| Vehicle modification and execution | Tire size with load capacity and speed indexes* | Wheel size | Air pressure in tires front/rear, MPa (kgf/cm2) | |||
| Rim width (inches) | Rim offset (et)**, mm | Partial load*** | Full load**** | |||
| Installed by the manufacturer | ||||||
| "sedan" version | All modifications | 185/65r15 88h 195/55r16 91h | 6j | 50 | 0,21/0,21 (2,1/2,1) | 0,2/0,22 (2,1/2,1) |
| Allowed to be installed during operation | ||||||
| "sedan" version | All modifications | 185/65R15 88T, H 195/55R16 87.91T, H | 5J, 5½J, 6J 5½J, 6J, | 50 | 0,21/0,21 (2,1/2,1) | 0,21/0,21 (2,1/2,1) |
* Speed indices: T – up to 190 km/h, H – up to 210 km/h. Load capacity indices: 88–560 kg; 91–615 kg. **Rim offset (ET) is the distance from the mating plane of the disc to the middle of the rim. *** Partial load – no more than 3 adults in the car without cargo in the trunk. **** Full load – more than 3 adults or 3 adults and a load of 50 kg in the trunk.
Deviation from these recommendations will lead to dire consequences:
- The stability and controllability of your car will deteriorate;
- Fuel consumption will increase due to greater tire resistance;
- Tire wear will increase.
If you don’t want to memorize the table, then on the Lada Vesta the recommended tire pressure values are indicated on a special information plate, which is located on the B-pillar on the driver’s side. Just open the driver's door and find out the recommended tire pressure for the Lada Vesta.
If the pressure constantly drops, then it is necessary not only to pump up the tires, but to eliminate the source of the leak. First of all, you should check the spool; if it is working, then the problem is in the tires or wheels. You may have a puncture or a loose fit between the tire and the rim.
Note that the air pressure in tires is constantly changing, depending on the temperature of the air inside the tire. At low temperatures, air compresses and pressure drops; as temperature rises, pressure increases. It is optimal to check the readings at an ambient temperature within 10-15 degrees Celsius and after a short period of inactivity. When driving, the tires warm up, so measuring the pressure immediately after a trip is incorrect.
What wheels can be installed on Vesta
What wheels does the automaker propose to install on the Lada Vesta? AvtoVAZ does not recommend changing the tire size or offset, suggesting that only wheels with increased or reduced width be used.
Wheels with a diameter of 15 inches can be installed in widths from 5 to 6.5 inches (remember, the base has 6 inches). And wheels with a diameter of 16 inches can be from 5.5 to 6.5 inches wide (the base is 6.5 inches). The same applies to 17-inch wheels on the Vesta Cross or wheels on the sports Vesta - if you wish, you can install narrower wheels, 5.5 and 6 inches wide, without violating the requirements and warranty policy of the automaker.
As for tires, AvtoVAZ allows the use of tires with other speed and load capacity indices. Standard 185/65R15 88H tires can be replaced with tires with load capacity index T. And 16-inch tires 195/55R16 91H can be with speed index 87 and/or load index T. Wheels on the Lada Vesta Cross size 205/50R17 89V can be replaced tires with a lower load index H.
What non-standard wheels will fit on the Lada Vesta
Although most car owners tend to enlarge their wheels to improve the appearance of the car, sometimes the opposite happens. For example, it is common practice to drive on larger diameter alloy wheels in the summer, and then take smaller wheels and a larger tire in the winter to make the car more controllable and softer on snowy roads. The best option for such a replacement is to install 185/65R15 wheels from the basic configuration. It is not recommended to install wheels smaller than 15th diameter, and we have not seen examples of such a replacement.
Vesta on 19-inch wheels
As for the maximum diameter, the critical height of the wheel assembly for Vesta is 660 millimeters. Therefore, not only the original 17-inch wheels are installed on the car, but also wheels with tires with a diameter of 18 inches. In this case, the tires should be no larger than 225/45 R18, and for some car owners they already cling a little to the wheel arch liners. True, on drive2 there is a case with installing 19-inch wheels, but this will require improvements in the suspension design. And in the case of installing 18-inch wheels, some tire sizes also allow you to lower the car, which many do. In any case, when choosing wheels and tires, you will need a calculator. Just sit down and calculate whether your purchase will fit into the wheel arches or not. Or look at our table below.
Is it possible to reduce the offset and install wider wheels? Do not forget that the manufacturer already recommends installing 17-diameter tires on 6.5-inch wide wheels with an offset of 43. That is, there are not many options here. The maximum permissible width of wheels on a Vesta is 8 inches with an offset of 38. In this arrangement, the wheels practically do not stick out and do not touch the arches. Anything more requires modification of the machine design. By the way, don’t forget that a smaller offset reduces the life of your wheel bearings. So you will have to either change it more often, or buy more expensive parts.
We also remind you that any replacement of wheels with non-standard sizes has advantages and disadvantages. By installing larger tires and wheels you will definitely improve the appearance of your car, its dynamics and stability. But you will have to pay for this with less comfort on bad roads and a possible increase in fuel consumption. In the case of low-profile tires, which will most likely have to be placed on large rims, you will also have to get used to constantly monitoring the tire pressure, because the tires are more sensitive to this important parameter, as well as to shaking on uneven roads.
Alternative wheel options for Lada Vesta are in the table.
| Diameter | Tire size | Disk options | Height of wheel assembly, mm |
| 15″ | 175/70 R15 | 6J with offset 45-50 | 626 |

Original alloy wheels "Vesta Cross"
The great popularity and prevalence of the car became possible with the advent of many different accessories, parts and spare parts for it. This list also includes tires and wheels. Inexpensive configurations have steel wheels produced by stamping. This is the most inexpensive solution.
Expensive and richly equipped versions are equipped with large rims, various shapes and colors. If desired, you can personalize the car by installing wheels of a special design from a variety of represented manufacturers. This happens when the season changes or the original simply wears out.
Note!
The quality of handling directly depends on the size of the wheels installed on the car.
Original cast wheel, r17 “Lada Vesta SV Cross”
There are a large number of wheel rims on the market, which in terms of parameters and dimensions are suitable for installation on a car. These can be very well-known and high-quality products from well-known brands or less expensive, simpler ones. There are replica models that people prefer to buy to save money.
Important!
The most widely available in stores are alloy wheels for Vesta Cross 17 radius.
Careful adherence to the manufacturer's recommended dimensions when selecting wheels is required. Car owners who prefer products with a large radius should be especially careful, since exceeding them can be fraught with breakdowns and increased wear of the car.
If, for various reasons, the car owner is faced with the question of replacing wheels, then for Vesta Cross it is necessary to comply with all parameters in terms of width and diameter, offset and bolt pattern parameters. Products with the characteristics listed below will fully meet all requirements:
- Cast wheels with dimensions 175/70/R16 or 205/60/R16.
- Large products with dimensions 175/55/R17 and 195/50/R18.
- If the Vesta is SV Cross, then R18 wheels should be installed.
- signed an agreement with the wheel manufacturer K&K. The products of this manufacturer are presented specifically for Vesta and have all the same dimensions and parameters.

Experienced drivers recommend installing tires and wheels that have a minimum width and radius for the winter. This is due to the fact that such products have increased stability and less rutting in difficult weather conditions, be it ice or snow.
Note!
All parameters, except for the permissible width and diameter of the wheels, are the same for Vesta and Vesta Cross.
The AvtoVAZ concern has created a special drilling parameter for models of the Vesta family. He became similar to representatives of South Korean car manufacturers. This has expanded the choice of discs from those on the market.
As for tuning and installing very large wheels on a car, you should prepare for the fact that the manufacturer will void the warranty for such car enthusiasts. In addition, you will have to greatly sacrifice comfort for the sake of appearance and increased handling.

Winter tires for Lada Vesta Cross. We select the best option
The Lada Vesta Cross is a Russian-made SUV, purchasing which the driver expects high cross-country ability and adaptability to difficult road conditions, especially in winter. And these characteristics largely depend on the correct selection of tires.
The recommended tires for the Lada Vesta are 205/50 R17, so we will consider this particular size. The very first parameter that is considered when selecting winter tires is the absence or presence of studs on the tread. Determining this parameter is quite simple, since it directly depends on the region in which the car is used. For harsh and especially snowy winters, studs are recommended, as they provide reliable grip on ice, and for milder winters, you can choose winter tires with a deep tread, the so-called “Velcro”, which is less noisy and maneuvers well in a slurry of ice and snow, which is formed during a thaw.
As for the tire manufacturer, the choice here directly depends on the financial capabilities and desires of the owner. Manufacturers such as Nokian, Bridgestone and Continental have proven themselves best. They are distinguished by consistently high quality rubber and a long service life. Of the more affordable options, many drivers prefer Pirelli or Matador, which are produced in Russia and belong to the middle price category.

These tires will create more pressure on the road surface and improve traction. Remember that wide tires are more sensitive to ruts in winter. And low-profile tires make the ride less comfortable, because... transfer even the smallest holes to the body.
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 ESP calibration (the systems may not work correctly).

Reading time: 6 minutes
Choosing winter tires for each owner is an extremely important and responsible task. A lot depends on the correct choice of car tires for the winter - from car handling on winter roads to the safety of the car and crew. This article will talk about the features of choosing winter tires for the domestic compact small car Lada Vesta.
Recommendations from experts on the operation of winter wheels on the Lada Vesta
When using winter wheels on Vesta, according to the recommendations of experts, it is necessary to take into account a number of significant parameters:
- A Lada Vesta car may suffer from brake defects in the cold. This is noted by a number of owners and experts. We are not talking about a complete failure of the brake, but about such minor defects as a slight retraction of the brake pedal, etc. But be that as it may, in order to protect yourself, you need to purchase winter tires with good braking performance and a short braking distance.
- On a Lada Vesta, the tire pressure in winter should not be too high; it must be maintained only within normal limits.
- You should be more careful about the stabilization option when using winter tires (especially friction tires) on ice. Using stabilization on icy roads in winter can lead to deterioration in vehicle controllability.
