Features of Lada Largus
The Largus instruction manual indicates only one acceptable size - 185/65R15. The model is adapted to Russian conditions, based on the Dacia Logan, released in 2006. The technical characteristics of the Dacia Logan indicate a similar wheel size.
Factories install stamped 15mm wheels on Largus. In addition to the standard size declared by the manufacturer, car enthusiasts install 14-inch tires with a diameter of 185/70R14, indicated in the tire pressure table, and 165/80R14, less popular ones, selecting the appropriate wheels for the Lada Largus. Among 15-inch tires, 195/5R15 tires are chosen; 205/60R15, 195/60R15 are rare. Car enthusiasts who prefer larger tires use 205/55R16, 195/60R16. R17 is less common: 215/50R17, 205/50R17, a very exclusive option is 215/40R18, 215/35R18.
The R in the marking means the radius of the tires, the number is the size in inches.
When purchasing, it is recommended to take into account that the technical characteristics are significantly affected by the size of the disks.
How to choose wheels for Largus
The choice of tires and wheels affects not only the external design of the car, but also the behavior of vehicles on the roads. Car manufacturers indicate acceptable dimensions. Let's look at what wheels can be installed on a Largus, and which ones are better for improving driving performance.
Most drivers replace standard wheels with more attractive ones

The influence of sizes on technical characteristics
Increasing disc diameter
The diameter affects the style of the car; increasing it improves road holding and steering accuracy, but comfort on problem roads will decrease.
Increasing width
When installing wider products, steering accuracy and road holding will improve, but fuel consumption will increase.
Increasing tire width
Increasing the width of the tires themselves will also have a positive effect on road holding, on the accuracy of car control, grip on dry roads will become better, and driving on uneven roads will become more comfortable. However, resistance to aquaplaning will deteriorate, noise will increase, fuel consumption will increase, and the tires will wear out more quickly.

Let us remind you that other instructions for modifying a station wagon and a van can be found in this category or by content.
During assembly, Lada Largus is equipped with two standard wheel sizes - 5.5×14 ET 45 and 6.0×15 ET 50.
Main wheel sizes for Lada Largus:
The diameter of the rims for the Lada Largus car varies from 14 to 15 (inches). With a disk width of 5.5-6.0 (inches), its offset is 43-50 (mm).
Disc parameters for all modifications of Lada Largus:
- Disc diameter: 14.0 (inches) - 15.0 (inches).
- Wheel width: 5.5 (inches) - 6.0 (inches).
- Disc offset: 43-50 (mm).
- Drilling: 4x100 (mm).
Important: if replaced with this Lada model, it is possible to install different wheel sizes from the standard ones.
Alternative sizes:
Is it possible to install non-standard wheels with standard 15-inch ones?
Many drivers still have 14-inch wheels from their previous cars. They want to install them instead of the required standard 15-inch ones to save money. Moreover, stamping is heavy, but these seem practical in winter.
When installing non-standard parts, problems arise in the caliper bracket, which protrudes strongly relative to the plane of contact with the hub.
There is no gap when installing 14-inch wheels; When the nuts are tightened, the disc does not spin. The non-standard 15-inch ones also do not spin, but rub against the protruding bracket. And 16-inch ones create the necessary gap.
There are products with a shorter offset; when they are installed, the wheels will be positioned wider, this will lead to a change in the load on the bearings, and road dirt will fly onto the side of the car. If you put 6.5-inch wheels with an offset of 45 on a car, the wheel will hit. If there is a warranty on the car, certified K&K products are recommended.
So, of course, you can save money and install non-standard, non-original parts, but in this case the driving performance of the car is lost. When purchasing original spare parts, when deciding which wheels are suitable for Largus, you also need to pay attention to the diameter and width, choosing the most suitable option, taking into account the pros and cons of each type.

Lada Largus and Lada Largus Cross
We meet by clothes
There are not many external differences between the Largus. And only by looking closely, you can determine that the cross-version is slightly taller than the donor. It has unpainted bumpers with gray inserts on the lower part, as well as additional black trim on the wheel arches and sills. The regular Largus is equipped with 15-inch wheels, while the Crosses are equipped with 16-inch wheels. The only thing is that both have the same spare wheel, 15 inches, so in the first case the spare wheel is full-size, and in the second it is only in stock status. We have both cars in the maximum configuration: Largus Cross in the Luxe version, and the regular Largus - Luxe Prestige. Actually, the Prestige prefix only means cast wheels instead of stamped ones. But the cross modification has alloy wheels installed by default.
Salon Lada Largus and Lada Largus Cross
Pleasant differences
During the measurements, it turned out that the ground clearance of the Cross version is as much as 210 mm (under the protection of the engine crankcase). For a car that, according to its creators, should regularly drive off the asphalt, this is not bad. For a regular Largus, the ground clearance was 182 mm under a similar engine compartment shield. By the way, the manufacturer states that when fully loaded, including passengers in the last, third row of seats, the ground clearance will be at least 170 and 145 mm, respectively.
Our Cross turned out to be 35 kg heavier than the usual Largus. But one plastic body kit, which adds brutality and protects the car’s paintwork from scratches when driving over rough terrain, cannot weigh that much. Some of this 35 kg can be attributed to larger wheels. Perhaps there will be other technical solutions that will give the model additional weight?
We drive the cars onto lifts, remove the wheels and conduct a thorough inspection. Despite the apparent identity, differences were still found. Largus with the Cross prefix has original front struts. In particular, the spring cup is welded to the body 30 mm higher than that of the station wagon. This also ensures increased ground clearance. By the way, both models are equipped with Monroe struts from the factory. The rear gas-filled shock absorbers are also different. This is confirmed by identification numbers. The housings and shock absorber rods of the Largus Cross are longer, and the length of the rear suspension springs is also increased.
Shock absorbers Lada Largus Cross
As I was told at VAZ, when working with the suspension of the cross-version, the engineers were faced with the task of maintaining the suspension settings of the regular Largus as much as possible, and they succeeded. In terms of handling and level of driving comfort, the cars are very similar. At least, the average driver is unlikely to feel the difference in the behavior of the car on a good road. But when driving on a dirt road or broken asphalt, the Largus Cross slightly benefits in terms of smoothness due to the increased rolling radius of the wheel and wider tires.
Shock absorbers Lada Largus Cross
Cross economics
It is unlikely that there will be conditions in which the geometric cross-country ability of vehicles will play a decisive role. Still, the difference in ground clearance is not so significant. More important, I think, are fuel consumption indicators. The “elevated” Largus spends 1.4 liters more for every hundred kilometers driven in the city and 0.8 liters more when driving on the highway compared to a station wagon without the Cross prefix. At least that's what the manufacturer says. But this is already a noticeable difference, especially over a long distance. What is it due to? Considering that the gear ratios of the cross-modification gearbox have not changed, we can only rely on aerodynamics, wheel size and an additional 35 kg of curb weight.
Lada Largus and Lada Largus Cross
Summarize. If you want a little better ride and comfort, or if you need to regularly wade through fields and small bushes without damaging the body, take the Largus Cross. If every penny counts, a station wagon will do - it’s both cheaper and a little more economical to operate. By the way, Largus without the Cross prefix is also available with an eight-valve engine that can be fed with 92-octane gasoline. But the 102-horsepower sixteen-valve engine installed on the test cars is designed for 95-octane gasoline.
As for sales statistics, of the 26,460 Largus sold in 11 months of 2020, 50% of sales were made up of regular Largus. Another 30% of buyers preferred the Cross version, and the remaining 20% chose the van.
What non-standard sizes can be supplied?
Buy tires based on the full diameter of the wheel. It shouldn't be too different from the standard one.
Standard sizes allowed for installation.
| Model | Size, load capacity index | Center diameter wheel holes (DIA) | Radius between holes (PCD) | Number of nuts, pcs. | Wheel width, inches | Disc offset (ET) |
| R90 | 185/65R 15 88 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |

| CROSS | 205/55R 16 91 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 5 ½, 6, 6 ½ J | 50 |
| Parameter | Increasing tire width | Increasing rim width |
| Keeping the car on the road | will improve | will improve |
| Accuracy of maintaining a given direction of movement | will improve | will improve |
| Road grip coefficient | will increase on dry roads | does not affect |
| Resistance to aquaplaning effect | will get worse | without changes |
| Traffic noise | will intensify | does not affect |
| Feelings when driving on rough roads | more comfortable | does not affect |
| Fuel consumption | will increase | will increase |
| Tire wear time | will speed up | without changes |
Be sure to calculate the load capacity index. Depending on the model, 88 (560 kg), 92 (630 kg) and 91 (615 kg) are allowed. The speed index is indicated next to the load capacity. T – up to 190 km/h, H – up to 210, V – up to 240.
An approximate formula will come in handy. Calculate the mass of the car, the weight of all possible passengers and cargo. Divide by 4 (wheels). Add a little extra.
Important! Installing large wheels can lead to incorrect operation of the ABS and electronic dynamic stabilization system of the vehicle.
The lighter the tires and wheels, the faster the vehicle accelerates. Thus, a car will accelerate to 100 km/h 0.2 seconds faster if the wheel weight is 2 kg less.
Let's sum it up
Installing non-standard wheels, for example, r15 wheels on a LADA Largus, is of course possible, but only certain sizes will be required, and in any case, a bolt pattern will be required. Owners who are not concerned about subsequent changes in the characteristics of the suspension and steering are inclined to take this action. The choice of the optimal option is always up to the owner, although you should not forget about the size of the standard wheels.
The size of tires and wheels not only adds style to the car, but also greatly influences the vehicle's performance on the road. Each manufacturer indicates acceptable standard sizes, and AvtoVAZ is no exception. In this review, we will look at the wheel size of the Lada Largus.
Usually, the manufacturer, depending on the modification of the car, indicates several acceptable wheel sizes, Lada Largus is an exception. The instruction manual indicates the only wheel size for all trim levels: 185/65R15 . Lada Largus wheel parameters: 6Jx15, offset (ET) for R15 = ET50. Wheel hub bolt pattern 4x100. Everyone knows that the Lada Largus is a 2006 Dacia Logan MCV adapted for the Russian market. The technical characteristics of the foreign car indicate exactly the same wheel size.
Based on reviews and surveys of Lada Largus car owners, we can summarize:
- The most popular tire size with a diameter of 14 inches turned out to be 185/70R14 , by the way, it is indicated in the table with tire pressure. Another less popular option is 165/80R14.
- The majority use the standard wheel size 185/65R15 . Another popular size of the same radius is 195/65R15 . A few installed 205/60R15 and 195/60R15 tires on their cars.
- Fans of larger wheels install tires: 205/55 R16 , 195/60 R16 and 195/55 R16.
- R17 wheels: 205/50R17 , 205/45R17, 225/45R17 or 215/50R17.
- Exclusive sizes: 215/35R18 and 215/40/18.
R is not a radius, but a designation of the radius of the tire, and the number is the diameter of the rim in inches. The most popular wheel sizes are shown in bold.
When choosing wheels, you should take into account the full diameter of the wheel; it should not differ much from the standard one. Compatibility table:
Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.
Don't forget about the rim width:
Standard tire parameters
The size of tires and wheel rims can have a significant impact on how a car behaves while driving. The popular universal model of domestic origin Lada Largus, as well as its off-road variation “Cross”, were no exception in this matter. Today these modifications are products of the Russian giant AvtoVAZ.
For the Largus configuration, the manufacturer uses tires produced by Amtel Planet DC. This is a domestic company owned by the Amtel-Vredestein NV corporation.
Wheels, which are stamped versions of the products, for Largus are kindly provided by the Italian manufacturer Magnetto Wheeles.
The factory manual contains information regarding tire size options that are structurally suitable for a specific car model. Here Largus is an exception, since the manufacturer in the accompanying documentation indicated only a single option for the size of tires and wheels like them.
So, here are the parameters of the designated disks:
- product width indicator – “6J”;
- hub bolt pattern - “4x100”;
- sidewall overhang – “ET50”.
The only tire size option that the manufacturer recommends to equip various modifications of the LADA Largus is “185*65*R15”. This dimension also appears in the documentation supplied with the related model Dacia Logan MCV (2006).
About summer tires for Largus 185 65 R15
According to car owners, a tire from Renault Logan 5.5×14/4×100 D60.1 ET43 is ideal, but the Lada Largus will need a tire size with parameters 185/70 R14. Factory-assembled 16-inch Largus Cross alloy wheels. They have unique parameters: width is 6 inches, drilling is 4x100, offset is ET50, CO is D60.1. The declared size of parts for the Lada Cross corresponds to 205/65 R16 tires. AvtoVAZ supplies Continental Premium Contact tires with a low profile (55% of the width).
What is the tire pressure
The tire pressure level is specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
| Model | Front tire pressure, kgf/cm² | Rear tire pressure, kgf/cm² |
| R90 | 2,4 | 2,6 |
| F90 | 2,4 | 3,0 |
| CROSS | 2,4 | 2,6 |
Constant monitoring of this parameter is necessary. Fluctuations to a lesser or greater extent affect the behavior of the car, efficiency, and driving safety. Let's look at the relationship more specifically.
Pressure higher than specified:
- the tire is harder, the comfort of movement decreases;
- the risk of damaging the wheel when hitting a stone or hole increases;
- grip on the road deteriorates;
- braking distance increases;
- the tread pattern wears unevenly;
- wheels rotate easier;
- machine stability improves.
Pressure below normal:
- fuel consumption increases;
- rubber wear increases (due to an increase in the contact patch area);
- car steering accuracy deteriorates;
- stability on the road surface decreases (due to changes in the angle of inclination);
- the risk of skidding increases.
The tightness of the wheel structure is not ideal. The air gradually comes out. The reduction in pressure directly depends on the air temperature.
Monitoring must be regular. It is optimal to check your blood pressure at least twice a week. Ideal when leaving a parking lot, visiting a gas station, or performing maintenance.
The pressure in the tire should be lower than in the other wheels.
Visual assessment of the condition of tires is an irresponsible attitude towards the vehicle and safety. There is a high risk of not noticing a slight decrease or increase in pressure (0.1-0.5 atmospheres).
In the following situations, it is recommended to reduce the atmosphere to a level lower than the factory instructions:
- when driving on a slippery road (in winter);
- for off-road driving.
Selection of tires for Lada Largus
AvtoVAZ equips configurations above the base with Continental Premium Contact tires, but usually only for summer ones. For this reason, owners have a question about how to choose summer, winter or all-season tires for their car.
Selection of summer tires
Tires must match the wheel size. When choosing, the speed and weight index, brand and tread pattern are taken into account. The production date of the tires plays an important role - if they were made more than 5 years ago, it is better to refuse such a purchase.
There are three types of patterns: asymmetrical, directional and symmetrical. The latter is the most popular, as it is considered universal and fits most cars. This is the best option for everyday driving around the city - without racing or off-road use. The main reason for choosing this design is its affordable price. Tires on Lada Largus with a symmetrical pattern are cheaper than all others. Such tires also have disadvantages - poor handling at high speed and wet asphalt, problems with sharp turns.
The directional tread pattern copes well with moderate off-road conditions and drains water well, showing normal handling and stability on wet road surfaces. The disadvantages include excessive noise, they cannot be placed on different sides due to strict direction, soft edges of the tread reduce directional stability.
The asymmetrical pattern shows the best characteristics: good directional stability, reduced risk of aquaplaning, you can swap wheels if necessary, increased controllability at high speed. The only drawback is the high price.
Profile height
If it is not possible to change the rims, it is recommended to install a standard tire size. Many owners strive to improve the appearance of their car. The most obvious way to do this is to install larger wheels, and this will require appropriate low-profile tires.
With a profile height of more than 60%, it is not advisable to use the car on the highway - such a tire is suitable for poor road surfaces and softens all unevenness. For driving on asphalt, it is better to use low-profile tires, as they improve dynamic performance and handling. But ride comfort is reduced - every bump will be reflected in the suspension.
Winter tires
When choosing winter tires, a lot depends on the budget, because there are European, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian brands on the market that produce tires in different price segments. For Lada Largus, it is recommended to use standard tires recommended by the manufacturer in winter. All that remains is to choose between studded and non-studded.
Handling when driving on snow is affected not by the presence of studs, but by the tread pattern. The pattern of studless rubber should contain many rectangular blocks arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The tread depth is also important - it should be at least 8 mm. The lamellas provide good grip on winter roads. Studless tires are often called “Velcro.” This is an ideal option for regions with mild winters, where ice and temperatures below 5 degrees are rather an exception. For wet snow, a tire with a directional tread pattern is suitable, as it drains water well. Advantages of studless tires:
- suitable for use on wet and dry road surfaces;
- does not make noise;
- does not have a negative impact on the road surface;
- It is resistant to high temperatures and does not impair controllability.
The main disadvantage of studless tires is their unsuitability for use on icy road surfaces. On ice and compacted snow you cannot do without tires with spikes.
The more studs on the tread surface, the better the grip on the winter road - slipping will be reduced, and the braking distance will be significantly reduced. But such tires also have their drawbacks:
- not suitable for wet snow;
- on dry or wet asphalt, the braking distance increases and the risk of skidding is higher;
- on loose snow they will not help the car to leave, but on the contrary, they will bury it even more;
- increased noise on asphalt;
- Fuel consumption increases slightly.
Despite a large number of shortcomings, it is the studded tires on the Lada Largus that have gained the greatest popularity in the middle zone and in the north, where weather conditions do not allow the use of other types of tires.
Selection of all-season tires
The niche of universal tires is occupied by all-season tires. For the most part, such tires are produced with an asymmetric tread pattern. The inner side has a rectangular pattern and is suitable for driving on snow, further increasing traction on icy roads. The outer side has a V-shaped tread, which allows you to effectively remove water from the contact patch between the tire and the road. "All-season" cars come in different types. The most popular are tires adapted for use on asphalt in the summer, but for winter roads this is not the best option. There is no point in considering off-road tires - they cannot be used on Largus, although they are considered universal for winter and summer.
On all-season tires you can find two abbreviations - All seasons or M+S (Mud+Snow - mud + snow). But these designations do not constitute official confirmation of the possibility of use in different conditions. The advantages of “all-season” tires include:
- savings - no need to buy a summer and winter set of tires, especially important if the car is not used year-round;
- the price is lower than that of specialized tires for a particular season;
- in mild winter conditions they show better performance than special kits.
This is where the advantages end; such wheels have many more disadvantages. Their main drawback is that they are equally functional in both summer and winter, losing out to seasonal products in many respects. Most of these tires are not recommended for driving at high speeds; their cross-country ability also suffers in different conditions.
All-season tires wear out quickly; buying a new set every two years is standard practice. Summer and winter sets can last 3-4 years, and with measured movement - even longer.
In harsh winters and icy conditions, driving on such wheels is unsafe and increases the risk of getting into an accident.
Other sizes
Some desperate owners strive to experiment in this area and install tires with different characteristics on their station wagons. Often people are prompted to do this by the desire to distinguish their “horse” from the gray mass of cars of the same type.
The most popular “experimental” size is “195x65xR15”. Much less often, owners install tires with dimensions “195x60xR15” or “205x60xR15”. Note that the space present inside the body arches allows the use of tires with other sizes:
- for “R16” wheels: “195x55xR16”, “195x60xR16” and “205x55xR16”;
- applicable to “R17” wheels: “205x45xR17”, “205x50xR17” and “225x45xR17”;
- with “R18” wheels: “215x35xR18” and “215x40xR18”.
Larger instances should be installed with extreme caution. Such “rollers” can lead to unpredictable changes in the behavior of a car on the road surface. This is especially pronounced in unfavorable weather.
How increasing the wheel size can affect the behavior of the car can be found in this table.
One should not discount the fact that increased sizes of wheels and tires can cause incorrect operation of the following systems responsible for active safety:
- "ABS" - system for preventing blocking of brake mechanisms;
- “ESP” is an option responsible for directional stability.

(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).
