Choosing wheels for a UAZ: sizes and models

Despite the huge model variety of foreign-made SUVs, those of our citizens who regularly have to deal with real off-road conditions still prefer domestic SUVs, which have proven their superiority in extreme conditions in more than one competition.

In particular, we are talking about cars from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, which, having started its activities in the first year of World War II, had already produced its millionth car by the mid-70s. In this article we will get acquainted with modern models and consider which wheels are best installed on a UAZ in one case or another.

Characteristics and features of wheel bolt patterns for domestic UAZ cars

The bolt pattern is a fastening parameter; in any car it is designated by the English abbreviation PCD. Having analyzed the bolt pattern for the UAZ “Patriot” as an example, you can understand what this parameter means. In this machine it corresponds to 5 × 139.7:

• the number five means that the disk has that number of holes for bolts;
• 139.7 denotes the diameter of the circle on which the centers of these holes are located.

You should always pay attention to this data when it is necessary to replace wheel rims. You can easily count the number of bolts yourself.

Due to the fact that human vision does not allow determining the diameter, you need to use a ruler, but a caliper is best. Having measured the size between adjacent holes, you need to insert the obtained data into a special formula and carry out the calculation.

A characteristic of the bolt pattern for SUVs of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is that for models such as Patriot, Hunter and the classic 469, it is the same and equal to 5 × 139.7.

UAZ Hunter

In 2003, the UAZ Hunter replaced the old UAZ-3151 model, produced since 1985. The first version, called Classic, shows the brutality inherent in military equipment. The body with five doors, although it does not have a streamlined shape, makes it clear with its entire appearance that it is ready to conquer off-road conditions.

Ten years later, in 2013, a new model with the Trophy prefix was presented to the public. Externally, this version differed from the classic one only in the gray-brown shade of paint and the larger size of the wheels.

45th Anniversary UAZ Hunter - Hunter’s latest anniversary model

Then there was another victory series, released in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory, and a special series “45 years of the legend”, which marked the birth date of the first UAZ passenger car.

The appearance is more elegant, but otherwise it was and remains a simple SUV with a five-door body, an out-of-fashion design and unpretentious finishing.

What kind of wheels are on the UAZ Hunter from the factory, and how can they be replaced:

Disc bolt pattern on "Patriot" and "Hunter"

New models, such as the Patriot and Hunter, also have identical drilling parameters, but differ in disc sizes.

UAZ "Hunter" has R16 wheels and the following dimensions:

• Rim width - 6.5J, inches.
• Reach - ET 40 mm.
• The diameter of the central hole is CO 108.6 millimeters.

The UAZ “Patriot” model is equipped with R16 wheels with the following dimensions:

• Rim width - 7.0J, inches.
• Reach - ET 35 mm.
• The diameter of the central hole is CO 110.1 millimeters.

The exact bolt pattern value for UAZ 469 wheels, as well as other models, will allow you to select and install suitable wheel rims for the SUV and operate it without problems.

Wheels for UAZ loaf

At the beginning of the article, wheels on UAZ, I would like to make a small digression and congratulate the owners of this brand on the 70th anniversary of the plant. The anniversary UAZ Patriot produced by the plant will delight its owners with special inserts with the number 70 on the car body and steering wheel, alloy wheels for UAZ and much more.

The beginning of the next weather season, which is spring and autumn, begins in the same way for all motorists - the choice of car wheels. UAZ wheels do not have any special differences in their design from others, everything is the same as for all cars. Let's remember what basic parameters UAZ wheels have.

The parameters for mounting (drilling) wheels on a UAZ have a size of 5*139.7 - this literally means 5 holes located on a diameter of 139.7 mm. and the diameter of the central hole (CO) or DIA is 108. Further, the disks have the recommended size and, so to speak, for replacement.

For those who will select tires when tuning UAZ wheels, one important note - as a rule, the more the offset tends in the negative direction, the wider the tire should be!

UAZ Patriot

Two years after the release of the Hunter series, the line of old UAZ models was updated again. In mid-2005, production began of a car codenamed Patriot, which replaced the UAZ-3162. Over the past 14 years, several variations of the car have been presented:

Patriot 2016

• Classic, which was updated in 2014;
• With the Sport prefix, hinting at enhanced speed characteristics, although the model differs only in body dimensions;
• In 2020, an updated version was presented with a refreshed appearance and improved driving performance.

UAZ Pickup

The Pickup version with the UAZ 23632 index was launched by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 2008. She had no one to accept the post, since this manufacturer had not produced such semi-truck models before.

Before us is an all-wheel drive 4-door car with a small body and a five-seater interior, built on the basis of the Patriot, with good cross-country ability and excellent load-carrying characteristics.

This is an inexpensive option (and almost priceless) for fans of “national hunting”, farmers and residents of the outback who do not want or cannot pay through the nose for pickup trucks of foreign origin.

Over the several years of its existence, this car has become the best-selling pickup truck in Russia.

What kind of wheels can be installed on a UAZ Patriot?

The manufacturing company recommends installing only original models of rims and tires on an SUV. Factory tire options for the Patriot are sizes 245/70 R 16, 225/75 R 16 or 235/70 R 16, on which wheels of size 5 x 139.7 ET35 d108 can be easily installed. The UAZ plant warns that the operation of a vehicle with non-standard rim sizes installed may be uncontrollable, since the car may lose traction with the road surface, and the tires may not have time to transmit torque.

In most cases, the wheels on the UAZ Patriot are suitable for the Kia Sorento I generation, released in 2020 - as an option, you can use the original models of the Korean manufacturer. Also, as an option, you can install Chinese analogues on the UAZ Patriot by checking the wheels for compatibility using the vehicle’s VIN code - most wheels for the Patriot are suitable from Geely SUVs of recent years of production.

The only problem that arises when using the recommended rims is wiping the arches in winter. The original kit is not designed for studded tires, which leads to friction on the inner surface of the arches, the deformed surface of which quickly begins to rot from moisture and road chemicals. If you want to install studs on a Patriot, you will have to select wheels at random - selection by VIN number or component part numbers may not help in this case.

On average, the wheels on the Patriot do not reach the end of their service life - the poor quality of Russian roads often leads to deformation of the surface up to complete unsuitability. In this regard, it is not recommended to purchase models with a unique design, which are characterized by a high cost - the disks do not last long and you will soon have to buy new ones.

What do the sizes mean?

In fact, all UAZ models come from the factory on stamped iron wheels in the same size: 7Jx16 5/139.7 ET35 108.5. What do all these numbers mean – study the picture and table below:

The main parameters of the wheel rim are:

All these parameters are indicated on the disc packaging box. On the disk itself you can find everything except the bolt pattern. Width, diameter and offset - on alloy wheels this information is usually written on the back of the spoke. Markings on stamped discs are on the back side along the circumference of the rim.

Where to find the markings on the rim

The PCD size does not appear anywhere on the disk. The number of holes can be determined visually, but it is more difficult to find out the diameter of their seating circle when purchasing disks from hand (when there is no original packaging), since it is inconvenient to measure it.

This size is calculated using the formula PCD=N*1.701.

There is nowhere to look at the bolt pattern on the disk, you need to calculate it

Note: The 1.701 factor only applies to 5-hole rims!

Fasteners

The disk is secured with nuts size M 14*1.5. For stamped discs, through nuts with a height of 22 mm are used. For alloy wheels, the nuts are closed and 35 mm high.

The studs, which have the same diameter and thread pitch as the nuts, are also not the same in length: if the disks are iron, then 45 mm, if cast, 68 mm.

Disc car tuning: is it worth it?

Some UAZ Patriot owners may feel that the car does not have high enough ground clearance. The most popular methods of increasing ground clearance on domestic SUVs are installing special spacers and switching to wheels and tires of larger diameter. In order to properly upgrade the UAZ Patriot and avoid the possibility of losing control of the vehicle, you need to remember that:

• The safe width of rims with tires on a car reaches 33 inches;
• The optimal disc offset option for off-road tires is from 12 to -25 mm.

If this is not enough, the car body can be raised. The lifting done will help increase the ground clearance, which will allow the installation of rollers with diameters up to 35 inches and an offset of up to -42 mm.

The UAZ Patriot from the factory is equipped primarily with 16-diameter wheels, which do not look very aesthetically pleasing on this SUV. A huge two-ton car, designed to overcome various obstacles, is equipped with such small wheels. Very often, owners of a popular SUV decide to replace the standard wheels with other, more practical ones. But before you resort to replacing these devices or simply carrying out a seasonal replacement of wheels, it is important to know that in this case you cannot do without a bolt pattern. What is a bolt pattern on an SUV, how is it produced and what you need to know about it, we will learn all this from this material.

What is a bolt pattern on a UAZ Patriot? The bolt pattern on an SUV is a set of certain parameters that are brought to certain standards. So, the following characteristics belong to the bolt pattern:

1. The number of holes in the disks, with the help of which it is secured to the hub. The number of holes for each car model may differ, but on the UAZ Patriot it is 5. That is, each wheel is screwed on using five bolt connections.
2. Hole location. Regardless of how many holes there are on the disk, they must be located strictly at a certain equal distance from each other.
3. Diameter of holes for bolted connections. This characteristic is designated by the letters PCD. In simple terms, this is the diameter of the circle on which the holes for fastening with bolts are located. This designation is also called drilling. The drill on the SUV is 139.7mm.

These values ​​are mandatory if you are going to replace standard wheels with alloy ones. If ordinary stampings for UAZ Patriot are produced in only one version and differ only in radius, then cast ones have many variations for installation on different cars. In order to choose them correctly for yourself, it is important to know not only the markings of the necessary parameters, but also their designation, which we will find out later.

Marking and decoding

Let's use the markings of the standard device on the UAZ Patriot SUV as an example and try to decipher them. Designation of standard Patriot wheels: 7.0Jx16H2 ET35 PCD - 5/139.7 d66.6. Let's find out what this means next.

The value 7.0j is the width of the product, measured directly in inches. In the diagram below, these characteristics are shown by arrows.

16 is the diameter of the disc, which is also measured directly in inches. This is a standard size, but SUVs can be fitted with wheels with 15, 17 and even 18 diameters.

5/139.7 - this value on the Ulyanovsk brainchild is the same bolt pattern. The number 5 means the number of holes for securing the unit, and 139.7 is the diameter of the circle where they are located. This should not be confused with the diameter of the holes themselves. The diameter of the hole circle is called the drill hole or PCD, which is different for each car manufacturer and depends directly on the design of the hub.

The more accurately the characteristics of the wheel rims are selected in compliance with the PCD, the safer its location on the hub will be. The slightest inaccuracies can lead to not the best consequences, so choose parts that are fully suitable for drilling. Drilling is an important parameter for each car model, and all other parameters may differ: the width of the rims, the offset or its diameter.

What is a departure on a UAZ Patriot SUV? The ET35 value is the offset, which is indicated in millimeters. The offset is the gap between the plane to which the discs are attached to the hub and the center of the disc width. If the planes coincide, then the offset is considered zero, but in this case the standard unit has an offset of 35 mm. There is also positive and negative overhang. The diagram below shows a visual location of the central plane for determining positive and negative overhang.

Understanding the drill bit

If you plan to replace stamped disks with cast ones, then you will need to find out first the PCD or drilling parameter. This parameter is indicated directly on the disk itself, on the reverse side. If the unit is not marked, then you can take measurements yourself, but it is better to look for another option in which the manufacturer has indicated this important parameter. To determine the drilling yourself, you will need to use a ruler. It is necessary to measure the distance between the centers of two adjacent holes and divide it by the required coefficient.

The bolt pattern of wheels on a UAZ, this legendary SUV, like any other model of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant brand, is an important parameter when selecting and installing new wheels. Using the data presented in the parameter, you can find out how the wheel fits into the chassis elements. Such a well-known and popular domestic SUV is capable of overcoming the most difficult obstacles and can give a head start to its famous foreign counterparts. The dimensions and characteristics of the car allow it to be used in completely different conditions. In addition, the wheel arches of the car are quite large in size, so off-road or tuning enthusiasts can install very large wheels.

The manufacturer allows the installation of products in only two wheel sizes - R15 and R16. Only with wheels of this size will the car meet all the characteristics and qualities inherent in it. Other sizes are also suitable for use, but their use may be harmful to components and assemblies. To get ideal off-road performance, you need to be very careful in the selection of tires and wheels, and also clearly know the wheel bolt pattern for the UAZ.

Wheel rim bolt pattern for UAZ, appearance of wheels

Created on the basis of an army model, the domestic one is considered a leader, in the country and not only, in off-road qualities. Popular among fans of off-road adventures and motorsports athletes who participate in all kinds of races.

To improve off-road properties, special tires and wheels are often used, which allow you to overcome more difficult obstacles. However, it is worth remembering that improving any vehicle is a very important and responsible procedure that should only be carried out by specialists in designated areas. In the case of the UAZ model, all off-road modifications begin with replacing the rims and tires, since most of the improvements are aimed at improving off-road performance.

If the goal is only to improve the quality of appearance, then simply installing larger wheels may be enough. Their characteristics such as diameter, shape and color can radically change their appearance. This is enough for most car owners. Well-chosen and high-quality wheels can perfectly decorate a car.

Tires for the model are initially used with a very high profile height. This is done to improve the ride quality on bad roads.

However, increasing the attractiveness of an SUV such as the UAZ 469 cannot be considered as important a factor as the reliability and quality of this improvement. All particularly important parameters and dimensions for tires and wheels must be strictly observed. Changing them in a certain direction can lead to breakdowns.

As for the parameters of the disks, the drilling or bolt pattern of the UAZ disks must correspond to those specified by the manufacturer in official documents. It is important that, with the presented parameters, this SUV underwent certification and numerous tests, thanks to which special calculations were carried out for strength and durability. Wheels and tires are designed by the manufacturer to work exactly with the original size, with the exact diameter of the central hole and drilling parameter. Failure to comply with these requirements does not guarantee safe operation of the vehicle.

Note!

The vehicle's increased ground clearance allows it to transport heavy loads even in the absence of road surfaces.
