The engineering staff of any automaker carefully calculates the compatibility and ability of the vehicle to withstand the design loads for all systems. A vehicle of declared weight and dimensions must satisfy its technical specifications, dynamic and load-lifting parameters. One of the most critical parts is the wheel hub, which bears at least 25% of all permanent, long-term and short-term loads that act on the car. This is how the wheel bolt pattern parameter is created.

Bolt pattern is a calculated characteristic of wheels, which determines the number of mounting holes and the diameter of their location circle. This characteristic is the same for almost all AvtoVAZ models and depends on the following vehicle indicators:

Wheels for VAZ 1111

• The mass of the car in running order, that is, in fully equipped, with passengers and the maximum possible weight of cargo in the trunk.
• The nature of the vehicle’s operation, namely how important overloads are for of this car mobile If we are talking about a city sedan, then a bolt pattern of 4 studs is quite enough for it, but a crossover or SUV is certainly equipped with 5 or 6 threaded rods, because off-road driving can temporarily increase the load on the wheel several times.
• Dynamic properties of the car. Going into a turn high speed, and also falling into holes, the impact increases the load on the hub studs exponentially.

Engineers automobile plant the bolt pattern is assigned depending on the maximum load on the vehicle with the required safety factor.

Information on wheel bolt patterns on domestic VAZ vehicles

All VAZ cars from the very foundation of the plant to the present day had only 3 main types of bolt patterns, since most modifications were made on single platform, they only changed appearance. The bolt pattern for most Lada models looked like this:

• Most small representative automaker - VAZ 1111, popularly called "Oka", was produced in the Russian Federation for 20 years - from 1987 to 2008. Considering that the weight of this particularly small class car was only 975 kg, and the load on the wheel was less than 250 kg, Oka became one of the few representatives in its class for which a bolt pattern of 3 studs was used.

The final parameter was 3x98, with a mounting hole diameter of 58.1 mm. This was quite economical for the Oka owners.

It was quite problematic to find a similar wheel size on the market, so stamped products with a radius of R12 and R13 were often re-drilled in order to successfully fit on the hub.

Bolt pattern VAZ 2107 4x98

• The vast majority of models of the AvtoVAZ concern, starting from 2101 and ending with the Lada Priora or Kalina, were produced from the assembly line in the form of sedans, liftbacks, hatchbacks or station wagons of the compact or subcompact class.

Just a note.

Wheel load and dynamic parameters data vehicles very similar to each other.

Starting from 1966, when the concern released its first “penny”, and ending in 2015, the wheel bolt pattern for these cars was 4x98 mm, the diameter of the central hole was 58.1 mm.

The most popular Lada models today, for which wheels with a 4x98 bolt pattern are still sold, are VAZ 2106, 2107, 2109, 2110, 2112, 2114.

• The latest VAZ models, such as Vesta, Granta and X-Ray, produced since 2015, have a wheel pattern as close as possible to the international standard compact cars. This parameter on the specified modifications is 4x100.

However, this difference does not mean that the 4x98 bolt pattern does not allow the installation of X-Ray wheels on older cars. On the contrary, all products are fully compatible; drivers do not even need to use spacer plates, since the nut can be screwed all the way and securely fixes the wheel.

• Among all the products of the AvtoVAZ concern, such models as the VAZ 2121, or the classic Niva and all derivatives of this SUV have always stood out: the 5-door Taiga, Chevrolet Niva and other models. Due to increased loads on the hubs and wheels due to unsatisfactory road conditions, for which all parameters of the Niva were designed, these compact all-terrain vehicles traditionally had a disc bolt pattern of 5x139.7, with a central hole diameter of 98.5 mm.

These increased indicators allowed the wheel to freely resist bending moment, absorb large loads when the center of gravity is shifted to one side when moving on an inclined plane or when the wheels are forced to hang, and also allowed the car to transmit more torque to the tire treads when driving uphill without the risk of breaking parts .

Wheels for VAZ 2114

Despite the paucity of assortment when equipping vehicles and the small selection of cars various classes, the plant has achieved maximum versatility in compatibility and interchangeability of wheel rims for cars produced in 2019 or 50 years ago.

Features of wheel sizes for the most popular VAZ models

Among several dozen VAZ modifications, the most popular models over the entire 50 years were only 2 of them, as can be judged by the number of copies sold. The wheel sizes for these cars were following parameters, which varied depending on the year of manufacture, technical equipment and equipment of the car:

• VAZ is the latest modification of the “classic”, produced on the plant’s conveyors for 30 years: from 1982 to 2012. During this time she never changed her appearance, and the disc bolt pattern was the same - 4x98 with a central hole diameter of 58.6 mm.

The width of the rim varied slightly depending on the model year.

If in 1982 the plant produced models with tire dimensions ranging from 5J to 5.5J, then at the end of production the concern increased the permissible size to 6J.

The radius of the wheels invariably varied from R13 to R15, which made it possible to alternate them by season, periodically changing the side profile of the tire, or immediately use all-season tires with a diameter of R14.

The VAZ 2107 tire size invariably consisted of only 3 main parameters - 175/70/R13, 185/60/R14 and 185/55/R15. The last of the listed parameters was actively in demand among lovers of fast driving on smooth city roads.

Just a note.

As for the R13 rubber, it allowed the driver to feel as comfortable as possible when driving over rough terrain, as well as in winter, when the high cord profile took part in adhesion to the road surface. But the most popular parameter remained the universal size R14 and the largest number of tires were sold in this dimension.

If we consider the earlier cars of the concern, we can be convinced that wheelbase The Zhiguli has remained virtually unchanged for more than 40 years. This leads to moral retardation technical equipment factory products. At the same time, the lack of new developments greatly reduces both the speed of release from the assembly line and the cost of engineering equipment, which leads to a very attractive retail price for the vehicle.

• VAZ 2114. Produced in a smaller range - from 2001 to 2013. The car was just a restyled modification of the classic “nine”. The legacy of the outdated model did not affect the high popularity of this Lada, and all the wheels that were installed on hubs in the basic version had the same traditional bolt pattern 4x98, DIA 58.6 mm.

European standard bolt pattern 4x100 for Lada X-Ray

• Like the bolt pattern of the VAZ 2114, the width of the wheel rims was not much different from the “seven” and fluctuated between 5J – 6J for the entire production period. As for radius, the concern has completely eliminated the 15-inch diameter from the factory equipment, without prohibiting drivers from installing this parameter as an option. The bolt pattern of VAZ 2114 wheels in the current size also made it possible to install standard 4x100 wheels in accordance with the sizes usual for Europe.

Not a single Lada model has ever looked aggressive; the hallmark of the product was practicality and reliability in operation. The concern did not use extreme overhang indicators, and the wheels were always hidden under the body arches. The average ET limit values ​​for both VAZ 2107 and 2114 were ET25...35 mm, and deviations from this characteristic obligated drivers to install additional mudguards on the side parts of the body and change the design of the hubs, making them more durable to avoid deformations.

The bolt pattern of the VAZ 2114 wheels, as well as all other dimensions of the hub and disks, were used on the brand’s followers - Kalina and Priora. With the arrival of new management at the domestic concern, this parameter ceased to exist altogether, since the plant had a new orientation to the West and possible import of products to the nearest CIS countries.

Bolt pattern compatibility table for Zhiguli wheels

Taking into account the above descriptions of bolt patterns, they can be easily combined into one informative table, according to which every car enthusiast who owns one or another Lada model will always be able to choose the correct wheel rim parameters.

This table corresponds to geometric characteristics of brands and modifications domestic cars is given below:

Bolt pattern rims VAZ is a very important indicator of the model, which significantly limits the range of products offered for sale. If the driver suddenly takes a fancy to any disc that has different characteristics, he will have to completely change the design of the hub and install the studs in a new order. Experts say that such a practice is fraught with unpredictable consequences during the operation of the vehicle.

Make and model VAZ	Disc diameter, inches	Rim width, inches	Wheel offset, ET, mm	Bolt pattern, pcs x mm	Central hole diameter, mm
VAZ 1111 (“Oka”)	12, 13	4; 4,5; 5	35, 40	3x98	58,1
VAZ 2101…2115, “Kalina”, “Priora”

When choosing rims, the owner must pay close attention not only to the diameter of the rim, its weight and design, but also to important technical parameters. One of the key parameters for the compatibility of the wheel and the vehicle design is the bolt pattern.

This component is a value (the typical value for the vast majority of VAZ cars is 4/98) that determines the amount mounting holes(first indicator) t is the diameter of the circle, the distance between the holes (respectively, the second indicator).

Calculation of parameters

To more accurately calculate the compatibility of various types of disks with different indicators and car models, there are special compatibility tables. To select the indicator correctly, the owner needs to know exactly the factory parameters.

Compatibility tables of various types contain information on most existing models (for VAZ cars there are tables certified by the manufacturer).

Finding such tables is not difficult; there are a lot of compatibility tables on the Internet. Here is an example for domestic cars.

The photo shows the wheel bolt pattern and compatibility table:

These tables indicate several important parameters:

• Disc offset(the specific parameter is individual for each model), it is indicated by the letters (ET);
• Bolt pattern– PCD. The parameter is common for VAZ cars and is adopted by a single standard for front-wheel drive families as 4/98. This index is relevant for the vast majority of cars of the AvtoVAZ family (with the exception of sports modifications (Kalina NFR, where wheels from French models are installed and the bolt pattern has different data);
• Disc diameter– DIA. This parameter indicates the permissible diameter value. On VAZ cars, the maximum value for most models is 14 inches, but for several models this value is 1 inch more. The maximum diameter for 14 inches is VAZ 2114, 2115, 2113, 2110, 2111, 2112, that is, a line of cars
• Serial production of which has been discontinued. The maximum value of 15 inches is typical for models - Kalina, Granta, Priora. For Vesta and Kalina NFR models, the maximum value is 16 and 17 inches, respectively.

On video chat rims:

Based on the table value for various models the owner will be able to correlate the parameters of the new disk and the factory settings to select a product with the optimal value. In some cases, the diameter of the bolt pattern is slightly larger than the factory one.

In this case, special weights are hung on the disks to maintain optimal alignment. However, this method soon loses its effectiveness and the disc begins to mechanically interact with the hub, subsequently leading to breakdowns.

In the case of tables from AvtoVAZ, owners can trust the manufacturer’s data, since during the production and design process the model undergoes many tests, the main thing is that the table data be presented officially from the Tolyatti auto concern.

This is the situation for most alloy wheels"aftermarket" - because Different automakers have different centering diameters, it is expensive to make wheels only “for Nissan” or “Toyota”, they make them with the largest diameter, and offer adapter rings for smaller ones. These adapters are always available in stores/car service centers that sell discs. If you know the manufacturer of your disc, it is easy to find the corresponding rings. Their cost is 2-3 dollars apiece - cheaper than turning them...

As I remember now. In '94 or '95, my father bought himself a new Omega and gave me a VW Jetta. So I screwed it onto it alloy wheels from TAZ. Until 1998, she rode them safely without any problems. When we bought my wife a pointer with a 4x100 bolt pattern, I remembered that I had a 15th forging with good quality lying around at my dacha. summer tires from eight. And I remembered that Jetta felt great with the same problem. I bought good original cone bolts. Screwed it on. This summer will be the 4th that the car will be driven on these wheels.

PS What is the most important thing in a bolted wheel? So that it is well pressed with its inner seating plane to the hub/brake disc.

On a disk with mismatched holes for bolts/studs, you can slowly and sadly get to the place where it will be replaced with a standard one.

It's not something to joke about with takeout. Here the load on the bearing is increased. And all the factory suspension settings are down the drain. It’s okay when there’s still a 3-5 mm difference in the offset on the disc itself. But the spacer is at least 15-20 mm.

However, on the Porchik I had spacers at the back of 5 centimeters on each side. And 10 inch wheels. and nothing.

How is it not? 4*98 - all VAZs except all-wheel drive. And 4*100 - almost all other cars have 13-14" wheels.

Not just vases. I'm sure Fiat also uses 4/98.

All car enthusiasts come into contact with the installation or replacement of wheel rims. Sooner or later, for various reasons, most car enthusiasts were faced with the problem of choosing new wheels. The reasons may be different - damage to the standard disk, tuning in the form of installing disks of larger diameter, or other reasons.

When replacing, you should be guided by certain compatibility parameters; not every disc, even one of a suitable radius, will fit any car model. One of the important parameters when choosing rims is their bolt pattern.

Selection and installation process

When purchasing or replacing, the process of their installation occurs when the disc is attached to the wheel hub using bolts (in some cases, spokes are used). Number of holes for mounting on various car difference.

Most often, manufacturers use four fasteners or five (four holes are typical for VAZ models, five for foreign cars).

In the photo - the bolt pattern of the rims of the vases:

The bolt pattern is important parameter, which determines the diameter in millimeters to the circumference of the bolts (studs). The markings on the discs are indicated, for example, as 4/114.3 mm. It means:

• Number 4 means the number of mounting holes. This parameter varies from model to model. Most modern C-class car manufacturers have long switched to 5 seats (due to the increased weight of the car and for the sake of safety). B class cars are still mostly equipped with four seats. It should also be remembered that the number of mounting holes for different types may mean the use of different fasteners (for stamped disks, bolts act as fastenings, for cast and light-alloy studs);
• Index 114.3 means the diameter of the circle between the mounting holes. When choosing, this indicator may differ up or down. Often, car owners pay little attention when there is an error in the data regarding the diameter of a new disc.

This is completely wrong. If there is a large difference in readings (several millimeters) during movement, the disk will come into contact with the hub, which will entail negative consequences in the steering and suspension condition (as a result of prolonged use, the hub together with the bearing may fail, and steering rack fall into disrepair).

Complementary difference in circumference

They compensate for the difference in circumference and bolt pattern by installing centering weights at special services. However, this method is not a 100% panacea for problems with the suspension, but only partially compensates for the difference in circumference. Over time, if there are a large number of weights, the hub ceases to give its full effect, the hub becomes loose and the bearing fails under excessive mechanical damage from the disk itself.

On the video, the bolt pattern of the wheel rims:

Bolt pattern as a parameter is also important for safety reasons. If you choose the wrong bolt pattern due to a broken suspension system, there is a clear threat to driving safety.

It is quite possible to measure the bolt pattern with your own hands; when purchasing a new product, just compare the diameter with standard disk with the help measuring instrument(compass). If such an operation is impossible, but knowing the standard value, it is quite possible to measure the circumference using a compass on a new disk and compare it with the parameter required during installation.

If the number of holes and the diameter of the circle completely coincide, the bolt pattern will be suitable for the hub and seat; such a disk is completely suitable for a particular model.
