Casting for 15 vases 2114 reviews. How to make the necessary calculations

Disks on the VAZ 2114 - range from R13 to R15. However, the 15th diameter requires improvements to the car. Do you need it? If not, and you just want to know which alloy wheels can be put on your favorite “four”, then choose between R13 and 14. Definitely, it is optimal to put R14 “casting”. The disc parameters will be as follows - 14 / 5.5J PCD 4 × 98 ET 35-40 TsO 58.6. In human terms:

• R14 - alloy wheel diameter
• 5.5J - rim width
• PCD 4×98 (drilling) - 4 mounting holes, hole diameter - 98 mm
• ET (disc offset) - varies from 35 to 40 (it all depends on what kind of rubber you decide to put)
• CO - diameter of the central hole (on the hub) - 58.6 mm

So, now let's look at the top ten most popular alloy wheels for Lada 2114, all these models are ideal for cars, so you can safely buy and install. Recall - this selection is on R14. (Some photos are taken from drive2.ru)

Undoubtedly, one of the most popular casting models for the 14th. The K&K company produces high-quality products, and the Torus model is simply revolutionary, it has become so fond of the owners of VAZs of all modifications that it has already become a byword. Lada na Torusy - this phrase is familiar to any vase grower. Definitely a great casting option, inexpensive and very high quality. The discs perfectly hold the blows in the pits, they last a long time and are really strong. Pay attention when choosing rollers for 14-ku.

K&K Iguana

An equally popular model with an exotic design, which is why the name of the discs is just as exotic. Look great on the machine, strong and reliable. For the money, it's very acceptable. K&K has long earned the reputation of reliable casting. The color scheme is very extensive, there are 5 color modifications - ranging from pure white and silver, and ending with combined ones - black and white, etc. Great choice for a great car. The average price tag is about 2300 rubles, which, you see, will not hit your pocket like German or Japanese discs. Well, in terms of the quality of the Iguana - there are no complaints from the people, this model has a lot of positive reviews. Relatively light and again, they are easy to rinse from dirt.

A classic of the genre in general for any discs is a 6-ray star with thin rays. Looks elegant and really nice. Scud is our Russian manufacturer, we think everyone already knows it. the highest quality of manufacture of disks, testing, compliance with all declared characteristics. Most importantly, they are great for our roads, the “rollers” are strong and hold up well. In terms of money, everything is also fine here, the average price tag is about 2300 rubles for R14. Another great option not only for the 14th, but also for Kalina, Priora and Grant. They are also lightweight and easy to clean.

Skad fortune

Another Scud model that just screams “pay attention to me.” Thin rays, the 5th star looks very elegant. The quality, as with all scuds, is top notch. Well, the price tag will not hit your pocket. Fortuna has in its arsenal a lot of positive reviews and an overall rating on the Yandex market of 4.5 out of 5. A very worthy option for any VAZ, including the 14th one.

Skad Laguna

Photo tag, but no difference)) And here and there — there will be beauty. Design - 5 beams, they are thick enough and look massive, according to the people - they hold a blow perfectly in the pits, they serve for a long time. In general, like other scud models, there are no complaints. This model has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 and it fully deserves those flattering reviews that motorists leave about it. The only thing is that it’s difficult to wash discs of this design, so don’t ride Laguna in the mud))

Skad Typhoon

Available in 3 color modifications - black, silver and combo (polished black). Chic appearance, unusual and memorable design - cars on such disks are rarely seen on the roads, so if you choose them, your swallow will noticeably stand out from the crowd. Reviews on the model itself are not bad, of the minuses - a little heavier than models with thin knitting needles, but again, the fortress in the pits is an order of magnitude higher.

KiK Italica

The model has already been discontinued, but you can find a used one on sale. The original design, people like it, it is not clear why such excellent discs were discontinued.

5 thick powerful polished beams - the design is simply chic. It looks killer, but again, "an amateur", someone likes elegant discs with thin knitting needles, and someone like this. In terms of quality, there are no complaints about Techline, they have been on the market for a long time and have established themselves as a reliable manufacturer of “skating rinks”. The color scheme is black with polishing and pure silver. The model is not so common, but we found a couple of reviews - everything is in order, the people are happy, especially those who fell into the pits and did not break anything))

Lada slicks are another timeless classic. Model 1711 is one of the most popular, has a lot of positive feedback from satisfied drivers. Look chic, reliable and very light forged wheels. Yes, yes, this is exactly forging, and we deliberately included it in the rating of disks on the 14th. The disc weighs only 5.5 kg, and for a car, the light weight of the disc is very important, the load on all components and assemblies is reduced, and the car “eats” noticeably less gasoline. In terms of money, however, it comes out 2-2.5 more expensive than cast ones, but if you have money, it's worth it, you won't regret it.

A 5-pointed star, the quality of Alcast is also very good, according to the Market, this model has a rating of 5 points out of 5. So you can safely take it. The reviews write that it is convenient to wash the discs (the design allows), you need to be careful on the track, because the spokes are thin and can be broken with a good impact. They fit perfectly for the city and good roads, they are quite light - which means less gas mileage and other advantages for the suspension. An excellent option for inexpensive casting on the VAZ 2114.

In today's entry, I wanted to answer frequently asked questions about choosing disks for the VAZ-2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114, 2115. Which disks are better than 13, 14 or 15? This entry applies only to models of the ninth family (VAZ-2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114, 2115). Based on personal experience using discs with a diameter of 14 and 15. Very often people ask me what diameter discs are better to buy for the ninth family of 14 or 15 for daily comfortable use. Daily comfortable operation is characterized by the operation of the car in the city-highway mode and driving off the roads. I will not talk about disks with a diameter of 16", 17", 18" here, since they are not suitable for daily comfortable use.

From personal experience, I operated alloy wheels with a diameter of 14 "bolt pattern 4 * 98, offset 32. Rubber Kama-224 185/60/14.

Alloy wheels diameter 14

This configuration of disk and rubber parameters is considered optimal. Everything fits neatly and nothing rubs anywhere. In operation, the car handles better than on 13" wheels and 175/70/13 tires. Comfort is a little tougher than on 13 wheels, but beauty requires sacrifice, but still comfort is at a good level. When the car is fully loaded, 5 people and a load in in the trunk of 70 kg does not hurt anything anywhere and does not rub.For the winter, you can use tires 175/65/14. The price of the issue of wheels for 14 ". Take for example new forged SLIK wheels with a diameter of 14 "price 3850 for a wheel 3850 * 4 = 15400 rubles. And new tires MICHELIN ENERGY XM2 185/60/14 price 2440 for tires 2240 * 4 = 9760 rubles. ➤ Total: 15400 + 9760 = 24160 rubles.

Wheels 15 inches on the VAZ 2114

I also had a chance to ride on disks with a diameter of 15. Forged wheels Slik L186S 15", tires Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin - 195/50R15 82W.

Despite the beauty of the disks and the eminence of rubber, the car did not go better on these wheels! It all looks undeniably beautiful, but there are plenty of shortcomings: 1. The car accelerates worse and slows down hard. 2. Rubber with size 195/50/15 rubs against the rear arch when the car is loaded (the solution is to roll out the arches or install 2-degree negative camber plates). It makes no sense to talk about installing tires 195/55/15. 3. High cost (in comparison with 14 wheels, 15 is more expensive). 4. There is practically no comfort, everything is tough, the suspension is hard to cope with road roughness, as well as increased load on wheel bearings. 5. Tire services for 15 wheels are more expensive. 6. Also, do not forget about the brake system, firstly, regular brakes are 13 "and secondly, they are not ventilated, if you add low-quality brake pads, you can forget about good brakes on 15 wheels! Based on personal experience using discs with a diameter of 15" I will say that you can move around the city, You don’t feel much discomfort because they don’t have time to get bored, but once you go on the track with a route of more than 250 km, upon returning you get an unpleasant picture, you get tired of the road on such disks very quickly and it bothers you. From history, having traveled to the city of Neftekamsk (distance 400 km one way), upon arrival, 15 wheels were removed from this car due to the impracticality of using them in my daily operation. Asking price for 15" wheels. Take for example new forged SLIK wheels with a diameter of 15 "price 4850 for a wheel 4850 * 4 = 19400 rubles. And new tires MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER + 195/50/15 price 2899 for rubber 2899 * 4 = 11596 rubles. ➤ Total: 19400 + 11596 \u003d 30996 rubles. Output: From the above data, I want to say that for optimal driving around the city and the highway without reducing the level of comfort for cars of the ninth family, these are forged wheels with a diameter of 14 "with good rubber. It is better to buy forged wheels with a diameter of 14" than alloy wheels of an unknown production with a diameter of 15 ".

VAZ 2114 on 14 wheels (photo)

The difference between discs with a diameter of 14 "and 15" on examples of identical discs and rubber is approximately 7,000 rubles. Plus, when installing disks with a diameter of 15 ", you will additionally have to cut the rear arches or install plates of negative camber of the rear wheels. Also, do not forget about safety - the regular braking system of the ninth family on 15 wheels works worse than on 13 wheels (for personal safety, the brake system will need to be finalized). Installing discs with a diameter of 15 "on cars of the ninth family is not profitable and brings discomfort to both the driver and passengers, and will also entail an increased price for wheels and tires compared to 14" and more expensive maintenance and repairs.

The best option for the ninth family. Forged wheels diameter 14 with good tires.

In this entry, 14 "and 15" diameter rims were considered based on personal experience in operating a city-highway car. This entry does not apply to persons who drive cars exclusively around the city at a speed not exceeding 60 km / h, since in urban operation at low speeds and with good road quality, 18" wheels with a minimum profile can also be used.

What size tires are suitable for VAZ 2114

Let's face it, regular VAZ 2114 wheels with a dimension of 175/70 R13 visually do not look particularly impressive. It's all about the high height of the rubber profile with a visually small diameter of the disk itself. Therefore, motorists often have a question: is it possible to put larger diameter wheels, 14 or even 15 inches, on the VAZ 2114 without compromising the performance of the car and passing the next technical inspection? So, you can install R14 wheels on the VAZ 2109, 2108, 21099, 2114, 2115. In this case, the parameters of the disk should be 5, 5.5 or 6 inches wide, and have an overhang of 35-40 mm. You can also put cast or forged wheels with the same parameters. Other disk parameters: holes 4x98 mm, diameter of the central hole is not less than 58.5 mm. What tire width can I fit on 5.5J, 6J, 6.5J, 7J rims? Disc Width:. . . . . 5.5J. . . . 6J. . . . . 6.5J. . . . 7J Narrowest. . . . . . 165 . . . .175 . . . 185 . . . . 195 (undesirable) Normal, from. . . . . 175 . . . . 185 . . . . 195 . . . . 205 They sit "poured in". . . . 185 . . . . 195 . . . . 205 . . . . 215 Fine, up to. . . . . 195 . . . . 205 . . . . 215 . . . . 225 Widest. . . . 205 . . . . 215 . . . . 225 . . . . 235 (undesirable) In this case, it will be necessary to choose the appropriate size rubber so that the overall diameter of the wheel remains approximately the same. Otherwise, when turning the wheel, the tire will touch the fender liner or suspension elements, which, of course, we do not need. Permissible 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 rubber characteristics are deciphered. Let's do this for the VAZ 2114. Let's take a standard wheel 175/70 R13. 175 - tire width in millimeters; 70 - the 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. Similarly, after making the calculations, we obtain 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, resistance to rubber breaking 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 speed than the same size, but narrower. Also, bumps from the passage of road potholes will be more strongly transmitted to the car body with low profile wheels. To confirm your words, data on the permissible sizes of rims can be found in the factory manual. Wheels of a larger diameter, for example 15 inches, will also fit the Samara, but they are not recommended by the factory, so there may be problems with passing the inspection. For such wheels, you should choose rubber with a dimension of 185/55 R15. With a stretch, 195/50 R15 will also pass, but it’s better to play it safe and measure it if your friends have similar ones. In this case, the wheel may “rub” due to the fact that the rubber is too wide.

Most Russian drivers are well acquainted with the "legendary nine". AvtoVAZ produced this car for about 10 years. After appearing on the market, it quickly became the most popular in Russia. After the restoration of the VAZ 2109, motorists saw a new car VAZ 2114 Lada (LADA).

The design is distinguished by its simplicity and high reliability. In addition, its shape and design features allow tuning, changing its appearance, modernizing the body, and improving the interior of the cabin.

Of course, such work requires large financial costs. However, there is one item that does not require a lot of money, but gives a good visual result. It's about changing wheels.

Popular Options

Most passenger cars run on 13-16 inch rims. Today, the installation of low-profile rubber has become very popular.

According to drivers, it improves the handling of the car. It can be safely installed on the VAZ 2114. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are cars with 14-15 inch wheels on the roads.

In the implementation of sports tuning, more modern brake mechanisms are installed. Their overall dimensions are slightly larger than standard parts, so it becomes impossible to install the factory wheels back.

It is for this reason that R15 wheels are installed on the car. A typical design with this diameter has a width in the range of 3.5 to 7 inches. If this is a sports modification, it can go up to 13 inches.

When choosing a rim for a certain rubber, it must be remembered that its width should be 20% less than the tire profile.

Alloy wheels

The owners of the VAZ 2114, in order to give their car a more attractive look, install alloy wheels.

pros

They differ from standard designs in a number of advantages:

• The weight is much less than the stamped counterpart.
• Increase the service lines of the car and all its components.
• Reduce fuel consumption.
• Contribute to improved cooling of the brake system.

On the market, alloy wheels are presented in a large assortment. Their original design allows you to make the car more attractive. In fact, this is one of the types of the simplest tuning.

Minuses

Unfortunately, the structures are not very flexible. In the event of a strong impact, they crack or break into several pieces. This phenomenon is very dangerous when the car is moving at speed.

Over time, oxidation of the side surfaces occurs. Therefore, light-alloy rims must be constantly monitored and cared for.

The price is much higher than the cost of metal counterparts.

Forged

For several years now, forged wheels have been consistently in demand. Their dimensions are perfect for a modified VAZ 2114.

Advantages

Several advantages stand out in particular:

• Very high strength. In all respects, they are superior to stampings.
• Light weight, approximately equal to the mass of light-alloy models.
• external attraction.
• Differ in high rigidity. They are considered very reliable, with a sensitive blow they only bend a little. Moreover, steel products are deformed much more strongly.

Forged wheels never rust. They do not require as much maintenance as their cast counterparts.

disadvantages

There is only one negative property of forged models - their very high cost.

What wheels to put on the VAZ 2114

To correctly select a disk, you must consider its size. Most cars have 13-16 inch wheels.

Today, low-profile designs are considered the most fashionable. There is an opinion that they make driving easier. Therefore, the standard 13 inch ones are changed to others (14-15 inches).

Such a replacement is best done only if the car is subjected to sports tuning. It is in this case that you will have to install special brakes. Their dimensions do not allow the use of standard wheels.

A beginner choosing wheels for the VAZ 2114 can be advised to refer to the technical manual of the car. The manufacturer specifies specific tire and rim sizes.

This data will tell you which tires to install, which disc will be the best. If you start to deviate from these parameters, control will suffer, as well as:

• Driving will no longer be safe;
• The turning radius will increase;
• The braking distance will become longer;
• There will be an increase in fuel consumption;
• Suspension performance will deteriorate.

A properly selected disc can run 40,000 kilometers. With proper care, timely maintenance, as well as operation without additional load, it is able to work out 100,000 kilometers.

Almost all drivers in their practice are faced with such a question - how to choose wheels for a VAZ 2114? Let's consider this in more detail.

Basic Options

In the standard version, the wheels of this car have a relatively small diameter - 13 inches. At the same time, the rubber profile is quite large.

Both of these indicators make this car very suitable for tuning - after all, a motorist can vary the diameter of the wheels and the size of the rubber profile within a fairly wide range (for example, put larger diameter wheels with low-profile tires). This also includes the ability to install a variety of disks.

And so, how to choose the size of the wheels on the VAZ 2114? To begin with, we note that without any additional calculations, wheels with a diameter of 14 inches and a tire width of 5 to 6 inches can be installed on this car (this fact is directly stated in the car's passport).

Two types of tires can be installed on such disks - 185/60 R14 and 175/65 R14 (the first option is more preferable). Also, if desired, you can install 15-inch wheels with very low profile tires. True, sometimes such a fact can interfere with the passage of a technical inspection - after all, the use of wide rims for this car is not recommended (which is spelled out, among other things, in the car's passport).

Not everyone knows, but the Latin letter R in the tire designation means “radial”, and the number after it is the diameter of the disk, not its radius.

Indices and Calculation

It is also worth considering those situations when there are no suitable tires, but something needs to be installed on the car (or there is a desire for tuning, but it is not known whether the tires you like will fit?).

A direct calculation of the wheel diameter will help to solve this situation. In order to do it, we first consider examples of the designation of the tires themselves. Let's say we have a 175/70 R13 tire (factory dimensions VAZ 2114).

Its indexes mean the following:

• 175 - width (in mm);
• 70 - profile height in relation to width (in percent);
• R13 is the size of the rim for which the tire is provided (in inches).

Knowing this, we begin our calculations: first, we multiply 175 mm by 0.7 (that is, we find 70%), we get the profile height of our tire, equal to 122.5 mm.

Then we translate the diameter of the rim in mm. To do this, multiply 13 inches by 25.4. We get 330 mm.

The last step is to add our two obtained sizes 122.5 + 330, we get 575 millimeters. This diameter is the standard wheel diameter for 14 models. Thus, when selecting new tires, you should always carry out such calculations.

If the amount received will be equal to 575 mm, or will be more or less by one or two millimeters, then these tires can be installed. In the case when the result is much larger or much smaller, then the purchase of such tires will have to be abandoned - they will either cling during rotation or a very large gap will form.

Disks

Speaking about the possible size of the VAZ 2114 disks, it should be repeated once again that only R13 and R14 are recommended. Wheels with a diameter of 15 inches can be installed, but as a result, handling on the road may decrease and there may be possible maintenance problems.

In the event that there is a very great desire to install just such disks, then it is better to pay close attention to such types of tires as 185/55 R15 and 195/50 R15 (though in the latter case it is also worth checking whether such a tire is suitable in width Of course, you need to do this before buying).

What are the best discs to buy?

Now consider the following question - which discs are suitable for the VAZ 2114. The answer to it has already been partially given above - it is allowed to install discs with radii of 13, 14 and 15 inches on this model.

The possibility of using both 13 and 14 discs is directly stated in the VAZ 2114 passport.

As for the materials from which they can be made, the following options are most often found:

• stamped;
• cast;
• forged.

The first discs are the cheapest, made of steel sheet by stamping (which is clear from the name). Their advantages include a low price, a very long service life, high reliability (they do not burst with a sharp blow, but can only deform), and maintainability.

True, despite all this, many motorists are trying to purchase other types of discs. This is due to the very high weight of stamped "rollers" - it has a very negative effect on tire wear, fuel consumption, overall vehicle handling, and also produces an excessive load on the chassis. In addition, stamped wheels very often look unattractive, and are practically unsuitable for tuning.

The second option is cast discs.

They have the following advantages:

• small mass;
• have a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption;
• have a positive effect on the wear resistance of machine components;
• have a positive effect on less tire wear;
• better cooling of the braking system;
• They come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, making them ideal for upgrading your favorite car.

True, they also have two serious drawbacks - a rather high price and great fragility upon impact (in case of a strong collision with an obstacle, they can simply split, which makes them less safe than other types of disks).

The last option is forged wheels. They combine all the positive aspects of stamped and alloy wheels, and their only drawback is a very high price (which is much higher than that of alloy wheels). True, if it is possible to install them on your car, then they will be the best option of all possible and will last for many years.

Many VAZ lovers are interested in the advisability of driving 2114 on 15 discs. Are they safe to use? Will disk life change? What tire size should I choose? In this article you will find answers to these and other questions about the operation of the VAZ 2114 on 15 discs.

How to choose R15 wheels for VAZ 2114?

When choosing R15 wheels, it is not necessary to take VAZ wheels - you can find a suitable model from a third-party manufacturer. The main thing is that the product matches the VAZ 2114 in size - if it is of high quality and light, then the replacement will bring you only positive emotions.
In most cases, when replacing discs with larger radius models, lower profile tires are chosen. This has a positive effect on handling and stability, but worsens the softness of the car.

Low profile tires are great for driving at high speeds on quality roads. This is not surprising, because it is usually installed on sports cars (sometimes even the tread pattern on such tires resembles the patterns on the tires of racing cars). When using R15 discs on the VAZ 2114, the car's grip on the road improves - this is due to the fact that the profile is located lower than on standard wheels.

There is an unwritten rule that most car owners use: when replacing, it is allowed to increase the tire width by a maximum of 10 mm, the rim radius by one inch, and the tire height by 5 millimeters. If these parameters are changed within the specified limits, there will be no problems in the control of the machine, but their excess may have a negative consequence. When increasing the disks on the VAZ 2114, most often the standard wheels 185 / 70R14 are changed to 195 / 65R15.

Attention! When changing disks to models with a large radius, it is strongly not recommended to increase the clearance of a car by more than one and a half centimeters, and the tire width by more than 10 millimeters.

R15 on VAZ: pros and cons

Using R15 discs on a VAZ 2114 has its pros and cons. A noticeable difference in driving is noticeable only in the first days after their installation - most drivers quickly get used to them. Let's look at the main advantages and disadvantages of using R15 discs on a VAZ.
Advantages:

1. Big wheels look better.
2. Improved road grip resulting in reduced stopping distance.
3. Improved permeability.
4. The large wheel allows for a slight increase in ground clearance.
5. Tire sidewalls for R15 rims tend to be sturdier than on standard models.
6. When using low-profile tires, the stability of the car when cornering is improved.

Disadvantages:

1. High prices for the wheels themselves and tires for them.
2. Large losses during the movement.
3. An increase in the moment of inertia, which leads to a decrease in acceleration and an increase in the load on the brake linings.
4. Increased load on the body and suspension of the vehicle.
5. Very wide tires can touch parts of the car body (fender or mudguard) while driving.
6. More weight (both tires and rims).
7. The effort on the steering wheel increases (parking becomes more noticeably harder).
8. On some tire models for R15 rims, unsuccessful drainage systems are used, into which crushed stone is clogged.
9. Difficulties may arise during the inspection.
10. The likelihood of disk deformation increases (especially when using low-profile rubber).
11. Increased fuel consumption.
12. Due to the increased width, more dirt accumulates on the inside of the disc, which can lead to wheel imbalance.
