What sizes of wheels and tires are suitable for VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110

Many owners of “nines” and “tens” would probably like to purchase alloy wheels for their VAZs.
Indeed, this type of external tuning is the least expensive and can be easily done even with your own hands. Alloy wheels on the VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110, without problems or any negative consequences for the car, can be installed in three sizes: R13, R14 and R15. You can, of course, try to fit “rollers” with a larger diameter, but at the same time you cannot avoid serious alterations in the design of the car, which will additionally cost the car owner a “tidy” sum.

At the end of this article you will find a table with the sizes of tires and alloy wheels that can be installed on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2110 cars.

Below we have described the main advantages and disadvantages of various combinations of tires and rims for VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2110 cars (and their modifications), which can be installed without any modifications to the car.

Wheels for VAZ 2109: size and parameters of alloy wheels for VAZ 21099 r14, r15, r16

Every owner of a domestic car sooner or later thinks about this question - which wheels are best to install on a VAZ 2109. In this case, it is necessary to determine the size of the wheels and the method of their manufacture. It is possible to install stamped and light alloy products of various sizes on the machine. It is also important to know the parameters of VAZ wheels so that the kit fits perfectly.

Wheels for cars

The VAZ 2108 and 2109 models have long become legends. Over the years, a huge number of these cars have been produced and delivered to various countries around the world. Simplicity of design and ease of maintenance made this machine one of the most popular models in the manufacturer’s line.

VAZ 2109 car

The disks on 2109 and 2108 from VAZ were installed identically. The cars had identical parameters, the only difference was the number of doors. Due to the high popularity of the car, on the country's market you can find a huge number of offers for the sale of spare parts, tires and wheels.

The dimensions of the wheel arches allow the installation of wheels with radii from R13 to R15 on the Nine.

Some car owners prefer to install products that exceed these permissible dimensions. In this case, it is necessary to redesign the machine.

In the factory configuration, the machine is most often supplied with stamped wheels of various radii. There are some versions with castings, but they are quite rare. However, there comes a time for every motorist when it is necessary to change tires. This may occur due to wear or damage, seasonal changes, or other reasons.

In this case, there are plenty to choose from on the market. Both original stamped or light-alloy wheels and products from various other companies are presented. Some car owners even purchase used products.

During the entire production of the model, there were no changes in the parameters and sizes of wheel mounts. It is possible to install them from earlier models to new ones and vice versa. Many domestic wheel manufacturers offer a special line of products for the VAZ 2109. In this case, all parameters and dimensions match perfectly. The most popular installation is for 2109 15-inch disks. This is considered the optimal solution, since this size meets the manufacturer’s requirements and does not affect the smoothness and comfort of movement.

Almost all VAZ cars have the same bolt pattern parameters.

The standard bolt pattern is 4x98. That is, to install the products, four bolts are required, which are fastened at an axial distance of 98 millimeters. This is a very popular mounting method among cars of this class. Thanks to this, car owners usually have no problems with selecting wheel rims.

If a decision has been made to replace wheels, then many different parameters and characteristics must be taken into account. The main ones are the dimensions of the width and height of the product, offset and bolt pattern. Knowing them, you can safely purchase the selected discs.

However, the following factors should be kept in mind:

• In winter, it is advisable to install wheels with a minimum radius and width. This is done to obtain better stability in bad weather on slippery road surfaces;
• In the warm season there are no special requirements. You can install larger rims, this will give greater controllability and stability under normal conditions.

Among tuning enthusiasts, it is popular to modify a car to install large-sized products. It is important to consider that intervention in the design of the machine should be done as carefully as possible and it is advisable to entrust this to professionals. In addition, exceeding the permissible dimensions may lead to problems with annual maintenance. Installing large wheels will greatly affect the comfort of movement.

Characteristics and parameters of wheels for a domestic car

The main parameters of any product are bolt pattern or drilling.
Due to the fact that the VAZ 2109 has a common base with the models of the Fiat concern, this parameter is 4x98. However, the overhang dimensions and hub diameter should also be taken into account. If all the listed parameters match, then we can safely say that the disk is suitable.

There is a wide range of products on the market with a drilling parameter of 4x100. These products are inexpensive and high quality, and many car owners are tempted to install them. It is possible to carry out such an installation, but for this you need to purchase special eccentric bolts, which are designed for installing disks of other sizes.

Wheel parameters As for the wheels themselves, on the VAZ 2109 it is possible to set sizes to 13, 14 and 15 inches. In the latter case, it is necessary to select tires with a low profile so that the wheel fits.

The car was equipped from the factory with wheel rims of the following sizes:

• 5J wheels on 13 ET40 with 165/70R13 tires;
• 4.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires - 155/80R13;
• 5.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires - 175/70R13;
• 5J wheels on 14 ET40, tires - 175/65R14;
• 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires - 185/60R14;
• 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires - 185/60R14.

Other characteristics of products for the VAZ 2109 car:

• PCD (bolt pattern) - 4x98 (4 is the number of holes, 98 is the diameter of the circle on which they are located in mm);
• fasteners - M12 by 1.25 (12 - stud diameter in mm, 1.25 - thread size);
• diameter of the central hole - 58.5 mm;
• tire pressure - 1.9-2 bar.

Where:

• 4.5, 5 and 6J represents the width of the wheel rim. In this case, it is equal to sizes from 4.5 to 6 inches;
• The number 13 or 14 indicates the mounting diameter, measured in inches;
• ET represents the overhang of the disc, measured in millimeters;
• The drilling or bolting parameter is designated as 4x98, or PCD. In this case, the product is secured with four bolts, which are located around a circle with a diameter of 98 millimeters;
• The diameter of the central hole is the size for the hub, measured in millimeters.

Knowing all these parameters, problems with selecting and purchasing wheels for a car should not arise.

Wheel sizes

Some of the most popular sizes for domestic cars are R14 and R15. Installation of such products is possible without any problems, provided that the overhang, width and drilling dimensions are observed. If a decision is made to install products that differ in size, then it is necessary to alter some components or purchase a set of spacers.

The problem with installing large wheels is the small wheel arches.

If you exceed the parameters without modifying the arches, then the tires in turns will touch the slats and arches, which will lead to high wear of all components and parts of the chassis.

To avoid such problems, you should purchase rims whose sizes are guaranteed to fit all parameters. The optimal sizes of 14 and 15 inches correspond to the factory settings for handling, dynamics and smoothness.

Wheels with a radius of R13 and R14 will give the maximum level of riding comfort.

As for large sizes, the decision to install them has its positive and negative sides, which are important to know. And the decision to purchase and replace wheels must be made by the car owner.

Pros:

• Improved car behavior on the road;
• Improving the appearance of the car;
• Maximum road performance, such as dynamics, handling;
• Better absorption of road surface defects;
• With high-profile tires installed, the wear resistance of the suspension increases;
• Reducing the braking distance.

Minuses:

• Reduced driving comfort, which is associated with the high sensitivity of the suspension to all road defects;
• Difficulty parking and driving on roads with problematic surfaces;
• Increased requirements for pressure control in low-profile tires;
• Increased fuel consumption, which is associated with the increased complexity of driving the wheels;
• High price of the kit.

Why is it important to buy original alloy wheels?

Purchasing original light alloy products is a guarantee of meeting the maximum safety and quality requirements.
Good manufacturers always test their products before sending them to stores. Only original alloy wheels have low weight and good dynamic properties. This will reduce wear and tear, fuel consumption and improve the car's handling in all situations.

How to choose stamped products

VAZ 2109 with stamped rims
Stamped wheels are the most common for the VAZ 2109. Cars are equipped with these from the factory very often. This is due to the low cost of manufacturing such products.

They are not attractive in terms of design and have poor performance, but often car enthusiasts are attracted by their price. It is necessary to install stamped products on VAZs in compliance with the same requirements as for cast ones. Their parameters and sizes are fully consistent.

The dimensions and parameters common for the entire line of VAZ car models allow you to choose a set of wheels without any problems.

What size alloy wheels and tires can be installed on VAZ cars?

The most popular size of alloy wheels on VAZ cars are wheels with a diameter of 14 inches (R14). However, when installing wheels with a diameter different from the factory ones, you must comply with the width and offset set by the car manufacturer. If these parameters are significantly exceeded, then in turns and when the car is fully loaded, the protruding wheels will constantly rub against the fender liners, touching the wheel arches and parts of the car’s suspension.

On Samaras (VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099) difficulties often arise with the rear wheels - enlarged wheels quite often “conflict” with the wheel arches and elements of the car’s suspension. Therefore, before purchasing, you should make sure that the sizes of alloy wheels you have chosen will not cause problems after they are installed on the car.

Normal and fairly wide alloy wheels on the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 can be, for example, 6 inches wide (J6.0) with an offset (indicated by ET) of 35-40 mm. For such wheels, standard VAZ 2110 tires (size 175/65 R14) are suitable, but tires with a width of 165 or 185 millimeters are also acceptable.

In addition, the “eights” and “nines” can be equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels with low-profile tires. But then the offset should be within 30-35 mm, and the tires, for example, should be 185/55 R15 or 195/50 R15. Installation of tires of size 195/55 R15 or 205/50 R15 is possible only on the front axle, because rear wheels with this diameter will require additional modifications to the suspension and wheel arches.

In our experience, tires of sizes 185/60 R14 and 195/50 R15 performed best on alloy wheels installed on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 vehicles. But this does not mean at all that other combinations of alloy wheel and tire sizes are not suitable for your VAZ.

It will also be useful to know that for all VAZ alloy wheels in the catalogs there is such a parameter as PSD 4x98. It means that four bolts inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 98 millimeters are used to secure the wheel rim to the hub. And the diameter of the central hole of all alloy wheels on a VAZ must be at least 58.5 millimeters.

How to make the necessary calculations

Acceptable tire sizes for 14-inch wheels: 175/65 R14 and 185/60 R14. Moreover, the second option is preferable.

However, the diameter of the wheel can be calculated very simply if you know how the characteristics of the rubber are deciphered. Let's do this for the VAZ 2109.

Let's take a standard 175/70 R13 wheel. 175 – tire width in millimeters; 70 – height of the rubber profile as a percentage of the width, that is, in our case 175 x 0.70 = 122.5 mm

Disc diameter 13 inches = 13 x 25.4 = 330 mm.

The total wheel diameter is the sum of the rim diameter and two profile heights. Total 330 + 122.5 x 2 = 575 mm.

Having made calculations in a similar way, we get the following figures for comparison:

• 175/70 R13 – 575 mm;
• 175/65 R14 – 583 mm;
• 185/60 R14 – 577 mm.

We see that the last option is the most suitable. It is also 10 mm wider, which will provide us with a shorter braking distance due to the increased contact patch with the road, better handling, and resistance to tire bending in corners at high speeds due to the reduced profile height. But at the same time, a wide tire is more prone to hydroplaning at high speeds than a tire with the same parameters, but narrower. Also, impacts from driving through road potholes will be more strongly transmitted to the body of a car with wheels of low profile height.

Table for selecting suitable wheels

To confirm your words, data on permissible wheel rim sizes can be found in the factory.

Wheels with a larger radius, for example with a diameter of 15 inches, are also suitable for the Samara, but they are not recommended by the factory, so there may be problems with passing the technical inspection. For such wheels, you should choose tires with a dimension of 185/55 R15. With a stretch, 195/50 R15 will also work, but it’s better to play it safe and try it on if your friends have similar ones. In this case, the wheel may “rub” due to the tire being too wide.

VAZ 2109 is a 5-door front-wheel drive hatchback produced at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. In comparison with the “related” VAZ-2108, the model was positioned as more “solid” and intended for a family man, since it was endowed with a less expressive appearance and 5 doors. Due to the characteristic contours of the body, the car was often called a “chisel”.

“Nine” represents class B. The main competitors of the model include Skoda Felicia and Renault 19. The Russian car was inferior to its “classmates” in reliability, but was much more affordable.

The peak of popularity of the VAZ 2109 occurred in the 90s. Then production of the model opened in Belgium and Finland. However, the production of the “nine” soon ceased in these countries. In 2004, the model was discontinued at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Until 2011, the VAZ 2109 was produced in Ukraine.

Sales of the “nine” started in 1987. Externally, the model was almost completely identical to the VAZ-2108, differing from it only in the number of doors. The car retains the same styling: angular body features, a relatively slight slope of the windshield, a large protruding bumper and noticeable rectangular headlights. Despite the similar design and dimensions, the “nine” and “eight” were fundamentally different cars. The width of the front doors in the VAZ-2109 was reduced by almost 250 mm. In the appearance of the model one could guess the swiftness of the lines, but the sportiness became much less.

The interior of the “nine” turned out to be extremely practical. At the same time, the developers managed to increase comfort indicators. The car now has a “low” instrument panel, which has become more convenient. The front seats received headrests, and the upper belt attachment points were height-adjustable. Upholstery with inserts and optional fabric seats added to the model's prestige. The folded rear seats made the VAZ-2109 look like a station wagon. The cabin had ventilation and heating systems.

The first modernization of the car took place in 1989. The front part of the body has been slightly refined. The entire restyling consisted of a transition to “long” front wings, replacing the “short” version. In 1990, the model received a new 1.5-liter engine (72 hp). The modernized version was called VAZ-21093. It was this modification that became the most popular. By the mid-1990s, 1.1- and 1.3-liter engines were excluded from the line of power units. The engines were combined with 5-speed gearboxes.

The next restyling of the model took place in 1995. They stopped melting the radiator grille. The last cosmetic improvement of the VAZ-2109 happened in 1997. The car has not changed again.

Wheel and tire sizes

Regardless of the modification, the “nine” could be equipped with the following types of tires and wheels:

• wheels 5J on 13 ET40 (5 – width in inches, 13 – diameter in inches, 40 – positive offset in mm), tires – 165/70R13 (165 – tire width in mm, 70 – profile height in%, 13 – rim diameter in inches);
• 4.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires – 155/80R13;
• 5.5J wheels on 13 ET40, tires – 175/70R13;
• 5J wheels on 14 ET40, tires – 175/65R14;
• 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/60R14;
• 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires – 185/60R14.

Advantages and disadvantages of low profile tires

With low-profile tires installed, the vehicle's maneuverability and controllability are significantly improved - this is especially noticeable when cornering. The steering wheel becomes “sharper” and the car practically does not deviate from the trajectory due to the fact that the low sides of low-profile tires crumple less under lateral loads on the tire.

But when driving on a bad road, such wheels transfer much more shock loads to the body than standard-sized tires, and absorb various road defects less well.

It is worth noting that a tire with a low profile is quite easy to “punch” to the disk even on a small pothole and at low speeds, and the edge of the alloy wheel can become wrinkled and completely fail when using such tires.

Also, it would not be amiss to mention that according to traffic rules it is prohibited to operate vehicles with tires whose characteristics do not correspond to the vehicle model. However, experience shows that traffic police officers usually have a calm attitude towards tuned VAZs with alloy wheels “14”.

And this is not surprising, because R14 wheels are standard equipment on cars of the VAZ 2110 family, the chassis of which is similar to the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093 and 21099 models. But with R15 alloy wheels, the likelihood of running into trouble when passing a technical inspection is much higher.
