Are Logan wheels suitable for VAZ?

What is a bolt pattern?

4 bolt holes are 4

The first number “4” indicated in the parameters indicates the number of holes located on the hub, intended for screwing wheel bolts into them.
The second number “98” indicates the diameter in millimeters of the circle in which those same mounting bolts are located.

Thus, it is not at all difficult to calculate that the bolts are located at a distance of 69.3 mm from each other.

Wheels from Logan (bolt pattern 4*100)

Based on safety requirements, wheels with such a bolt pattern cannot be installed on a VAZ-2112. But, some drivers install such discs using spacers or eccentric bolts

Bolts with eccentric allow you to install discs with a 4*100 bolt pattern on a 4*98 hub

This is on their conscience, as other drivers may suffer.

Standard sizes

Since the start of mass production in 2007, the Renault Sandero has rolled off the assembly line equipped with wheels with a diameter of 14 or 15 inches (R14, R15), and is equipped with stamped or alloy options. Advanced versions of Renault Sandero Stepway were equipped with R16 wheels. In addition to the wheel rim size, there is a set of other significant technical indicators:

width;
bolt pattern (drill);
take-out;
central hole.

The standard rim width of Renault Sandero of various modifications varies between 5.5 and 6 inches (symbol: 5.5 J or 6J). The value of the indicator affects the strength of adhesion to the road surface, directional stability and controllability.

Branded discs have 4 holes for mounting bolts located around the circumference of the disc at a distance of 100 mm from the central axis (parameter symbols LZ and PCD, respectively). The full drill designation is LZ*PCD 4x100. An important indicator is the diameter of the hole itself; it is important when choosing bolts for the disk. Factory bolts from Renault are available in sizes 12 mm. Drilling of holes is carried out with a recess of a cone-shaped edge for a reliable fit of the fastener.

By offset we mean the value in mm between the plane passing through the center of the rim width and the surface connecting the disk to the hub. Takeaway can have a positive or negative meaning. Sandero serial models are produced with a offset of 43-50 mm (ET43, ET 50). The French manufacturer has a positive offset, that is, the wheel is visually recessed into the wheel well.

The central hole is a parameter characterizing the diameter of the hub. For the entire Renault Sandero model range, it is 60.1 (DIA 60.1). The operation of discs with a large indicator is allowed with the use of special spacer rings. Wheel centering, connection reliability, and driving comfort (no runout) depend on whether the discs match the diameter of the hub.

conclusions

It’s not at all difficult to understand such parameters, the main thing is to remember them and choosing suitable wheels ceases to be a difficulty.

How to choose a wheel rim? Call an assistant, trust the seller, or try to show off your own knowledge? Basic information on the “disco” part is given below.

From the post-war years until the early nineties, owners of domestic cars did not have a headache at all about which wheel to use on their car. There was a Moskvich one with five “holes”, a Zaporozhye one with a huge central hole, a VAZ one with four, and a large (as much as 14-inch) Volgov one. There was also a huge 16-inch Niva disc with five holes, but, oddly enough, it was replaced by some amateurs with the Volgov one. Now the variety of wheel rims is such that sometimes you can’t do without a catalog or the all-knowing Internet.

But let’s consider everything in order: what characteristics can you “play with” a little when choosing and what requirements must be met without fail.

Wheel bolt pattern

The bolt pattern of the Hyundai Solaris is another important point when choosing wheels. This parameter is sometimes also called drilling. It consists of two numbers of the form X*X and is denoted by the abbreviation PCD in disc labeling. Shows the number of bolts on which the wheel is attached and the diameter of the circle on which they are located. On passenger cars, four to six studs are typically used.

For Solaris, the PCD value is 4*100, which means that the wheel is mounted on four bolts located on a circle with a diameter of 100 mm. The wheels of the Kia Rio, a classmate from another Korean manufacturer, have the same bolt pattern. The hub hole in the disk has a diameter of 54.1 mm, the thread on the studs is M12*1.50. This type of thread is widespread and is found on many cars. Its value should help when choosing flare nuts for securing wheels. The hub hole may be larger than specified.

Bolt pattern Hyundai Solaris 4*100

Since there are few wheels with a 4*100 bolt pattern with a diameter of more than 16″ on sale, sometimes the question arises as to whether it is possible to change the PCD, for example to 5*114.3 like in the Sonata, Tussant and other high-school models. Such wheels would look more interesting, and a fifth bolt would obviously not hurt - the fastening would be more reliable. But the main thing, of course, is that for such a bolt pattern you can find many options for 16″, 17″ and even 18″ wheels. Unfortunately, this is difficult to implement and very expensive, so the activity attracts only true enthusiasts. Most likely you will need to replace the hubs, brake discs, and calipers. You also need to pay attention to the fact that the hubs must fit the drive shafts. The bill runs into tens of thousands of rubles without taking into account the cost of the wheels themselves, which in the case of Solaris is quite expensive.

Wheel offset

The international designation ET is from the German word Einpresstiefe. The smaller the offset, the larger the car's track. The wheel protrudes from the wheel arch of the car. There are wheels with negative offset.

Reach is one of the most important indicators of a wheel that affects the stability and controllability of a car. With a reduced offset, on “widely” spaced wheels, the force on the steering wheel, as well as the load on the hub bearings, increases significantly. A wheel with an increased offset is shifted deeper into the wheel arch and can, when turning or large suspension strokes, touch vehicle elements, which will lead to damage. When selecting new wheels, it is not recommended to deviate from the standard offset value by more than 3–5 mm in one direction or another.

Diameter and width
Rim diameter is usually specified in inches. It must match the tire diameter.
The width of the rim is the distance between its edges. Usually it is also indicated in inches, although manufacturers give the tire width in millimeters. The current trend is to increase the width of wheel rims and, accordingly, tires.

Wheels for Renault Logan

For a long period of time, car enthusiasts had the opportunity to equip their car only with large and bulky stamped wheels, which were difficult to classify as unpresentable. Fortunately, today the situation has changed significantly, and customers are presented with a wide selection of disks from different manufacturers and different designs. Modifications have appeared that are distinguished by their low weight with the necessary strength, reliability and long service life. One of the most preferred solutions in terms of design, quality characteristics and lightness are alloy wheels.

They are made from high-quality alloys, which are resistant to corrosion, lightness and high-quality design. They cannot be restored if they break, but they are one of the most common.

The modern market offers a wide selection of alloy wheels for Renault Logan from various manufacturers. However, you must be aware that when choosing disks, you must adhere to the factory recommendations regarding the size of the disks.

Mounting disks that are too large or small and do not meet the requirements will lead to negative results:

fuel consumption increases significantly;
the intensity of suspension service life increases;
maneuverability and controllability deteriorate.

Our store allows you to select discs automatically using our catalog. The selection of alloy wheels is based on many indicators, including:

mounting size, which must fully correspond to the inner diameter of the tire;
the number of holes for installation, as well as their size - the marking of the disk must correspond to that indicated in the instructions;
rim offset - the distance from the wheel mount to the plane of symmetry. If it is large with a short offset, then this can give the car additional stability and presentability, but increases the load on the hubs;
rim width indicators - it characterizes riding comfort and speed.

To select the appropriate wheel size, you just need to select the model and year of manufacture of the car. The system itself will select the disks that best match these parameters. If you have any questions, you can call us - our consultants will provide the most additional support, as well as assistance in selecting the right equipment.

Inner side of the disc

People like to tune these two parameters (diameter and width). Most often, they strive by all means to increase the seat diameter and width of the disk. At the same time, the tire, in order to fit in the wheel arch, becomes low-profile, which warms the soul of many. But at the same time, we should not forget about GOST for the depth of potholes on our roads - there is such a document! A hole up to 5 cm deep and with a sharp edge has a right to exist. And no one will be punished if you damage your car in it. Now imagine what will happen to low-profile tires in such a pit, even a “GOST” one. For example, with standard rims on Hyundai cars with a diameter of 15 and 16 inches, owners manage to install... 18-inch ones on Solaris! For example, with a tire measuring 215/35 R18, this solution provides only 75 mm of clearance between the tire seating surface and the road. Such a tire will most likely suffer (the bead may be punctured) even in a “permitted” hole.

What size wheels can be installed on Renault Logan

It happens that drivers are not satisfied with the current size or style of factory wheels, or old wheels become unusable, and they think about replacing them. So, the driver can choose wheels with a single drill, but in the following radius options:

R14 - these wheels are equipped with every car in the economy version, but if for some reason the owner does not fit the standard size, he can put 5.5J x 14 ET43 or 6.0J x 14 ET38 on his Logan. These parameters will ideally correspond to 165/80/R14 or 175/70/R14 tires, and the manufacturer will not void the vehicle warranty when using such wheels and tires.
Wheels for Logan , size 15 - if a car enthusiast often travels out of town or uses his “iron horse” a lot in the winter, he can find an alternative to factory wheels by installing them with parameters 7.0J x 15 ET35, which will give him the opportunity to increase tire width up to 195/60/R15. Wheel sizes R14 and R15 are most often produced under the brands Magnetto, K&K, Replika or Tech Line.
R16 - this dimension is not included in the database, and the wheel arches, in principle, are not designed for such large wheels. However, no one is stopping car enthusiasts from installing a smaller tire profile in combination with 6.5J x 16 ET35 or 7.0J x 16 ET35 casting, giving their car a very stylish look. These options are offered in the market by companies such as Venti, Aero, X-Trike and Neo.
R17 - are considered a real exclusive when installed on Renault Logan, moreover, they are not so easy to find in 4x100 bolt pattern. When a car owner wants to give his Logan the look of a real sports car, and the budget allows it, he chooses 205/50/R17 tires on 7.0J x 17 ET38 alloy wheels. The best manufacturers here are Vossen, SKAD and some other, more expensive brands.

Important!

Before purchasing wheels, you need to ensure their authenticity so that one of the brands listed above is actually the manufacturer of the wheel. Thus, cheap Chinese replicas, as a rule, are of low quality, unbalanced, easily deformed and cause significant damage to the car.

14-inch wheels Kia Rio

It should be noted that the same options for using discs of different diameters are also implemented on crossovers. For example, on the previous generation Nissan X-Trail you can install 16-inch wheels, which is clearly evidenced by the re-rolling of this diameter. And the car came off the assembly line with 17- and then 18-inch wheels. Although there are known cases of using wheels up to 20 inches. Here, too, the only question is what do you want to get: a car that gravitates towards an SUV or a tough “sports barn”. The main thing is to know moderation in everything, because the engine and gearbox are not changed.

What has VAZ changed?

Now let's talk about how VAZ betrayed its size. Even on the progenitor of the first Zhiguli, the FIAT-124, the diameter of the circle on which the holes for the bolts were located was 98 mm. And since then, this size has been strictly observed on all VAZ cars, except Niva and Oka.

By the way, Italians are also faithful to traditions. For example, on the FIAT Albea, which was officially sold in Russia, it was possible to attach a wheel from a VAZ.
