Tires for any car, including for the GAZ-3110, are an important component, and its choice must be taken seriously, since the characteristics of the tires directly affect the handling of the car, and this is one of the main elements of safety on the road.

This is what GAZ-3110 looks like

Along with the standard wheels recommended by the plant that produced this car, many GAZ-3110 fans successfully install tires of other types and sizes. This affects many parameters of the car and not always in the best way.

What wheel rim sizes are suitable for the Volga 105?

Those car enthusiasts who purchased a GAZ 31105 several years ago were the most ardent connoisseurs of the brand, because this model is a more modern modification of the traditional GAZ 3110.

So, when choosing wheels for this model, a car enthusiast should pay attention to the following features:

• The bolt pattern and drilling must be absolutely identical to other similar modifications of the brand, 58.1 mm and 5×108 mm, respectively.
• To choose wheels, you need to be guided by the place where the car is constantly used, because when driving on smooth asphalt in the city, you can buy beautiful R16 or R17 wheels.
• If a person operates his “iron horse” outside the city, in mud or deep snow, he should remember that the discs can be easily scratched, and there is no point in spending a lot of money on them. So, here you can consider high-quality “stamping” made in Russia, the cost of which for R15 does not exceed 1.5-1.8 thousand rubles.*
• It is worth carefully monitoring the ET indicator, since its too high value will drown the wheels under the wheel arches, and when cornering they will touch plastic or metal elements. If, on the contrary, the wheels are too wide and the offset is small, you need to pay attention to the fit around the calipers and also to the fact that the rims with tires may extend beyond the transverse dimensions of the vehicle, which will lead to rapid contamination of the body.

As for the materials and method of making the disc, “stamping” is cheap and reliable, and together with beautiful caps, it does not differ much in appearance from “casting”.

Forged wheels, with their great strength, have less weight than their analogues, which gives better dynamic parameters, as well as fuel economy, and over time the products will easily pay for themselves, especially if the driver uses the car often.

Important!

Colored wheels are much more expensive than the “Silver” color, however, if you take the classic version to a service station that has a painting service, experienced craftsmen, with a special camera, will always be able to bring them to an exclusive look in just one day and within insignificant fee.

Characteristics of recommended tires for GAZ-3110

The features of the tires installed on the car are primarily determined by the characteristics of the wheel that can be mounted and its following parameters:

• The width of the disk itself, measured in inches.
• The diameter of the rim of the seat, which determines the diameter of the disc and is measured in inches; this indicator is designated “R”.

Appearance of the R-15 rim

• The diameter of the circle of the centers of the holes for fasteners in millimeters, specifying their number; The designation for this characteristic is PCD.
• The overhang size, which is also measured in millimeters and corresponds to the distance between the mating disc surface and the middle of the rim along the plane; marked with the abbreviation “ET” or “OFFSET”.

• The size of the hole diameter in the center; denoted as “DIA”, indicated in millimeters.

These parameters determine which wheels can be installed on a given vehicle. The size of the rim, in turn, affects the parameters of the tire that can be beaded on it.

Wheel marking on GAZ-3110 is R15 6.5 x 15 ET45 PCD: 5*108 Dia: 58.1 mm.

Tire parameters - 195/65 R15. In this case, 195 is the width of the tire in millimeters, 65 means the ratio of the height of the tire to its width in percentage terms.

Dimensions and weight of wheels for GAZ 3110

Not all car enthusiasts were limited to the factory supply, and many of them purchased additional wheels to replace worn or lost ones, and sometimes simply to enhance the effect of the car’s exterior. The GAZ concern allows the use of a fairly wide range of wheels, both in “stamping” and in cast or forged versions.

If we are talking about wheels with a radius of R15, then the manufacturer allows replacement with a size of 6.0J-7.0J × 15 ET3845, however, it should be remembered that on Volgas the wheel is very recessed deep into the wheel arch, and therefore the larger offset, the deeper the wheel sits. This means that the impressive appearance of this car on good wheels gives a smaller offset, and after fitting the driver can also use an ET value of less than 38 mm.

The main companies producing these wheels are GAZ OJSC, Kremenchug Wheel Plant, OZ-Racing and some other brands. The weight of a cast disc is about 8 kg, and forged – from 5 to 6 kg.

When the Volga owner uses cast or forged wheels with a radius of R16, the size can range from 6.0J-7.5J × 16 ET32-45, and tires, respectively, 195-225/55/R16.

Note!

In this case, it is advisable to differentiate the width of the wheels by season - take narrower ones for the summer, since reducing the friction surface greatly improves dynamic characteristics, and a wider tire increases the stability of the vehicle on slippery roads.

All wheels with a 16 radius, as a rule, weigh about 10 kg, and forged ones - 2.5-3 kg less. The most popular and reliable brands under which Volga wheels are produced, with the exception of those listed above, are CatWild, K&K, LegeArtis and some other domestic and foreign companies.

Alloy wheels R16

Many car enthusiasts do not stop at the factory wheel sizes and often purchase them with a radius of R17 or even R18, installing tires with a profile of 40-45 mm on them, however, it should be remembered that a small air gap does not provide a proper buffer between the wheels and road unevenness. This means that vibration loads can be transmitted to the car’s suspension, as well as to the interior, which will cause increased wear of parts or driver discomfort in the cabin.

Types and characteristics of rubber

Understanding how important tire characteristics are for road safety, rubber manufacturers are constantly trying to release new models and improve the characteristics of tires, increasing their ability to provide the best grip on the road surface in various weather conditions.

The changes concern both the composition of the material used to make the tire and the pattern applied to it, which is an important indicator that ensures the tire’s optimal ability to interact with the road.

Rubber can be classified according to the following main characteristics:

• Location of metal cord threads (tire frame):

1. Radial, in which the threads are located parallel to each other.
2. Not radial, where the threads intersect with each other.

Most rubber produced today has a radial tubeless structure.

• Tread pattern type:

1. Directed; has the designation “Rotation” and an indicator of the direction of wheel rotation, which must be taken into account when installing on the machine; has high speed performance.
2. Non-directional, which does not require a special location on the car, has lower road grip characteristics at high speeds.
3. Asymmetrical pattern; combines characteristics that allow effective interaction with both wet and dry coatings due to the use of a more rigid material on the outside and patterns of different properties.

It is generally accepted that rubber with an asymmetric pattern is a more modern and effective solution.

The bolt pattern of rims for Volga-3110 is an important parameter when replacing rims with new ones; it must be known exactly down to the millimeter during selection. Often there is a second name for this parameter - drilling. Despite the differences in name, the meaning remains the same.

The digital data in the parameter indicates the method of mounting the wheel. The bolt pattern of the Volga-3110 rims and other common models of the domestic manufacturer GAZ is similar. This is done in order to reduce the cost of production and not create unnecessary problems for car owners.

The installed rims have a huge impact on the behavior of such a large car on the road. Safety, dynamics and appearance will depend on their size and parameters. To select and install a wheel on a car, you need to have information about the bolt pattern parameter. Knowing it, you can easily buy and install a set of new products. For the entire model range, you can buy both original factory products and those produced by various companies.

What are the bolt pattern sizes for Volga wheels depending on the suspension?

Any modification of a vehicle from the Gorky Automobile Plant has a bolt pattern parameter, which is designated as PCD, which stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. An example is the wheel bolt pattern for the GAZ-3110, which is 5x108. In this case, the numbers indicate:

• 5 - the number of bolts used to secure the wheel to the chassis;
• 108 is the diameter of the circle along which the holes for these bolts are drilled.

Classic Volga model with custom rims

It is almost impossible to determine by eye what diameter the bolts are located on a particular car, in contrast to the number of fasteners, which can be easily counted. To measure the diameter, you need a ruler, a caliper, as well as knowledge of special formulas, which vary depending on the number of fasteners.

If, however, a product was purchased with inappropriate fastener sizes, they must be returned to the store and replaced with the correct ones. It is not recommended to use non-compliant rims with different spacers for safety reasons.

As an alternative, special tables are available for determining drilling parameters. They provide all the information on recommended sizes and parameters for cars of all generations.

The presented table allows you to determine the sizes and parameters of wheels for cars in various trim levels and versions.

Car wheels

Gazelle cars have become a legend on our roads. They are widely used due to their low cost, ease of maintenance and unpretentiousness. It is used by both individuals and various organizations for transporting passengers and various cargoes.

Wheel disc "Gazelle", reinforced, 11 mm

The car is used in many industries and services, most often in the form of a minibus. There are pickup-type models with a large body for transporting large cargo. In such a case, it is very important to have a reliable car, so that in case of a breakdown it is possible to quickly and easily replace parts. The big advantage of the Gazelle is the availability of original components and parts. The use of these allows you to extend the life of the high-quality operation of the machine.

The legendary Gazelle car is used throughout the country in various types of terrain with any type of road surface.

Used in rural areas on roads with poor or no surface. In such cases, the main load falls on the Gazelle tires and wheels. In this regard, it is important to constantly have spare components and use their reinforced versions.

To increase stability on the road surface in all weather conditions, so-called welding joints are often used on vehicles. They are an ordinary disk, but with increased width. This increase is achieved by dividing the wheel in half widthwise and welding on an additional part. As a result, the product becomes wider, and it is possible to install wider and more stable tires on it.

Stamped wheels are at the top of the rating among those used for the Gazelle. They have the lowest price, are easy to repair and have the highest wear resistance among all those on the market. Unlike cast ones, they bend freely when they fall into a hole. In this case, a cast product may crack or chip, while a stamped product will only bend.

If deformed, stamped products can be easily straightened at any service station and continue to be used. It is for these reasons that stamping for minibuses has become widespread.

Note!

Gazelle cars are used in all areas, from private transportation to use as an ambulance.

Passenger cars have a lower payload than small trucks and are therefore less likely to be damaged. When transporting cargo, the load on the chassis and its components increases significantly. Experienced drivers carry several spare tires with them so that they can easily and quickly change damaged ones on the road. This is due to the fact that the wheel does not have to be beaded in unsuitable conditions. You just need to remove it and install a new one. Any damage can be repaired later at the station.

Over the entire production period of the model, a huge number of different wheel models were created. There are many different options available on the market at the moment. To avoid various problems, it is recommended to opt for original wheels. This will guarantee that the kit will fit perfectly and will not cause problems with operation.

But it happens that you want to save money. In this case, there is a wide selection of used models available online. This is the most affordable purchase option. The main thing is to check the kit before purchasing for wear and hidden damage. This will help avoid unexpected problems during their operation. If, nevertheless, the decision to buy used wheels was made and such a set was purchased, then they can be restored and painted.

In order not to make a mistake with your choice, you need to understand what kind of disks exist. And they are:

• Cast;
• Stamped;
• Forged.

Note!

Cast and forged products may not be considered for installation, since they are almost not common.

The issue of choice and purchase is often problematic. There are several different methods, including:

• Order in the online store. Nowadays, one of the most common and popular methods. In this case, you need to thoroughly check the reputation of the seller;
• Purchase in a regular store. This will allow you to look at the wheels live, touch them and immediately pick up the option you like. Among the disadvantages are the limited number of options presented;
• Sites like Avito or Ebay. There are both new and used options available at varying prices.

What is the wheel bolt pattern of the 24th Volga?

You can choose any wheel rims for the Volga car. Their sizes may vary within acceptable limits. This does not apply to the bolt pattern parameter, which in any case should remain unchanged. Knowing its exact value, you can determine and select the necessary wheels for a car of almost any year of manufacture. To do this, you need to know the basic parameters and dimensions:

• Rim diameter, measured in inches;
• Rim width, also measured in inches;
• Wheel offset, measured in millimeters. It is the distance from the vertical axis of symmetry to the plane of contact between the hub and the disk;
• The number of holes for fastening with nuts and bolts, or simply a bolt pattern;
• Hole for mounting the hub and its dimensions. Designated DIA and is the diameter of the center hole. Also measured in millimeters.

Drilling discs and main dimensions for GAZ-24:

• The number of mounting holes and the diameter of their location circle is 5x139.7;
• The diameter of the machine's hub is 108 millimeters;
• Rim diameter - 14 inches;
• Rim offset - from 20 to 40 millimeters;
• Recommended width is 5.0 or 6.0 inches;

The wheel bolt pattern for the GAZ model range depends on the year of manufacture of the model. Earlier cars had completely different drilling parameters than today's ones.
