Lada Priora is the most popular family of domestic cars today. The model is available in hatchback, sedan and station wagon body styles and belongs to the C class.
The main competitors are budget 4-doors: Renault Logan, ZAZ Chance, Lada Granta and Daewoo Nexia. Lada Priora boasts excellent noise and sound insulation, high-quality finishing and adaptation to Russian conditions. In comparison with “classmates”, it is more repairable, and spare parts for it are cheaper. The domestic product also has disadvantages. The operation of the model’s engine is not always stable; it is sometimes difficult to start it due to problems with the timing, air leaks and sensors. Also, car components are not of high quality.
Despite this, Lada Priora remains one of the most popular cars on the Russian market. In the Caucasus regions, it confidently holds the lead in sales volume. The car is also among the top 5 most stolen models in the country.
Generation 1
Lada Priora is an updated version of the popular VAZ 2110 model, production of which ended in 2007. Over 1,000 changes were made to the design of the “tens,” beloved by many Russians. As a result, a new family of cars appeared, consisting of 3 representatives:
- "VAZ-2170" - a sedan, the production of which began in March 2007;
- “VAZ-2172” is a hatchback that appeared in February 2008;
- "VAZ-2171" is a station wagon, sales of which began in May 2009.
After the modernization of the VAZ-2110, a fundamentally new car appeared that retained the same features. In the first version of the Lada Priora, similarities with the “ten” were clearly visible, but the bow and stern of the car became different. The headlights have increased in size and the radiator grille has become larger. The taillights were also modified, but overall the changes in appearance could not be called global.
If the exterior of the model was developed by specialists from the Volzhsky plant, then the interior was created by designers of the Italian company Carcerano. As a result, he was strikingly different from what he was in the top ten. The front panel looked more like a “torpedo” of a foreign car. It was trimmed with soft plastic, adding a curved visor above the instrument cluster. The interior was complemented by an oval-shaped clock installed in a silver trim at the top of the console.
The basic equipment of Lada Priora has become noticeably richer. It offered electric front windows, central locking with remote control, athermal windows, an airbag, electric power steering, an electronic clock and an adjustable steering column.
The car was available in three trim levels: “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux”. They differed exclusively in the level of equipment. The model was equipped with 2 types of gasoline units:
- 1.6-liter 8-valve VAZ-21116 engine (90 hp);
- 1.6-liter 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine (98 hp).
Wheel size
The small selection of versions of the Lada Priora model also limited the types of wheels available for use:
- wheels 5.5J on 14 ET37 (5.5 – width in inches, 14 – diameter in inches, 37 – positive offset in mm), tires – 185/65R14 (185 – tire width in mm, 65 – profile height in%, 14 – rim diameter in inches);
- 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires – 195/60R14;
- 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 185/55R15;
- 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 195/55R15;
- 6.5J wheels on 16 ET35, tires – 195/50R16.
Other wheel characteristics and tire pressure:
- PCD (drilling) – 4 by 98 (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 – 58.6 mm;
- tire pressure – 1.9 bar.
What drives can be installed and how to choose them
You can install almost any wheels on the Lada Priora that will satisfy the drilling and bolt pattern parameters of the original wheels. The central hole is 58 mm, and the number of studs and their length are 4x98.
Wheel radius is also a fairly important criterion when choosing new wheels. The Priora is suitable for radii in the range from R14 to R17.
R14
It is the most popular among all wheel models, since the Lada Priora is produced by the manufacturer on 14 disks. Therefore, when changing wheels, you can contact an official dealer and purchase them in a store. Thanks to the factory size of the wheel arches, the disc can accept several tire sizes at once, which undoubtedly plays a positive role when choosing winter and summer tires.
R15
Not such a popular option, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Within such a radius you can find many different types of discs. Such as stamped steel, cast steel and, of course, forged steel. This variety opens up great opportunities for car tuning. It is worth considering that the rim offset is equal to the size of R14, so it is necessary to select tires with a smaller profile. These wheels are suitable for sports driving on good asphalt or for long trips.
R16
Such wheels are sports, and they can be found much less frequently than the two previous options. There are two main types of wheels: forged and stamped. For some tire sizes, it will be necessary to install additional mud flaps, since the tire extends quite far beyond the wheel arches and will quickly pollute the car body. Since tires of this size have a smaller profile, they can only be driven on ideal asphalt without any negative consequences. In addition, when crossing rails, problems may also arise due to the vehicle's clearance.
R17
The largest variation of wheels on the Lada Priora. Also, this disc size is the most expensive, since it is most often produced in a forged version, which is several times more expensive than stamped and cast discs. These wheels are fitted with tires in size 205/40/R17, as shown in the photo. In addition, they can make various turns due to good handling.
Changing wheels on a Lada Priora is a very pressing issue at the moment. When choosing new disks, you need to check many parameters that are important in a particular case. In the case of Lada Priora, cast and forged wheels are the most popular, but they will look ergonomic only in sizes from R15 to R17. The manufacturer provides two options for painting wheels, but if there is a need for a different color, you can always change the color at any tuning studio.
As a result, it should be said that buying discs from unofficial dealers can result in negative consequences. If the threads of the discs do not fit, then no one will take responsibility for this. To avoid such cases, it is recommended to compare the information on the threads of the purchased disks with that stated by AvtoVAZ.
The bolt pattern of Lada Priora wheels is a rather important parameter when installing a new set of rims. In this case, every car owner needs to know it during selection. This parameter name is the most common, but sometimes you can also find another name such as drilling. Despite the differences in name, the meaning remains the same. It is necessary to know it in order to understand how the wheel is attached to the suspension elements.
The bolt pattern of the VAZ Priora corresponds to such brand models as Kalina, Granta and all classic models. This is done to avoid unnecessary confusion among car owners, as well as to reduce the cost of the production process.
What is the wheel bolt pattern on the Priora?
Lada Priora is deservedly one of the most popular and widespread sedans of the AvtoVAZ concern. This is due to the low cost of the model and high driving performance, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of classic models. In addition, there are no problems finding spare parts and components to improve the car, and you can service it yourself in the garage.
The installed rims have a very big influence on the behavior of any car on the road, its stability, steering and other characteristics. Their size and characteristics will determine the safety, dynamic qualities, and appearance of the car.
To select, purchase and install products on a car, you need to have information about their bolt pattern parameters. Knowing them, you can confidently buy and install a set of new disks.
At the moment, for the entire model range you can buy both original factory wheels and those produced by various other companies: both domestic and foreign. For example, the famous Russian brand “K&K” has an agreement with the manufacturer and produces a special line for Lada models.
New products created in an individual design will help perfectly decorate the appearance of the vehicle. However, the most common reason for replacement is still wear and tear or change of season. Car tuning is also very popular. It is carried out to make it more sporty and attractive. One of the main components to replace during tuning is the wheel rim.
You can find out what kind of bolt pattern is on the Priora from the technical documentation or from special tables presented on the Internet.
Priora is available in sedan, hatchback and station wagon body styles. The parameters and characteristics of the discs do not depend on the car's design.
During the operation of the vehicle, car owners get bored with the standard appearance and want to change something. In this case, tuning comes to the rescue, allowing for visual and technical improvements. It is possible to replace some car components with improved, sportier and more attractive ones.
The main part on which the appearance depends is the rims. In this regard, car enthusiasts try to replace them first. For any vehicle, wheels are not only part of the appearance, but also a very important design element, the size, production method and weight of which determine the vehicle’s stable behavior on the road surface, handling and dynamic qualities.
Lada Priora with 16-inch wheels
A new set of products must comply with all parameters declared by the manufacturer. This applies to both correct drilling and the required dimensions in terms of width, size and reach. It is also necessary to select high-quality tires for the season, since inaccurate sizes will negatively affect operation.
The drilling parameter determines whether the selected rim can be installed on the car. If the parameter does not match, then it is necessary to use adapter rings, which entails undesirable interference in the factory design.
Note!
Tires are installed regardless of the wheel bolt pattern on the Priora.
What wheels were installed on different versions of the car?
The design of the Lada Priora is more similar to the popular VAZ 2110 (ten), mass production of which was completed in 2008. More than 100 changes were made to the top ten, after which three new modifications of the car were created:
These are, respectively, a sedan, a hatchback, and a station wagon, manufactured after 2008–2009. Equipment: “Standard”, “Normal” and “Lux”, depending on finishing materials, additional options, and power of the power unit.
- 1.6 l. / 8th grade / 90 hp;
- 1.6 l. / 16 grades / 98 hp
Parameter importance
In any car model, the drilling parameter is listed as PCD, which stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. The presented indicators are important when choosing a new set of wheels, so that the car owner does not have any difficulties during the purchasing process. Knowing the meaning of drilling, you can choose the most suitable ones from all the wheels available in the store.
It is almost impossible to visually determine the distance between the bolts on a particular car.
But you can easily count the number of fasteners yourself. To measure the diameter, you need at least a ruler, or better yet a caliper, as well as knowledge of special formulas that vary depending on the number of fasteners used.
It is very important to remember that the incorrect selection of wheels and tires for the Lada Priora can lead to increased wear, breakdown, or even a traffic accident. If you purchased wheels with inappropriate mounting sizes, they must be replaced.
The use of non-conforming discs with different adapter rings is not recommended for safety reasons.

Wheel sizes
- First generation Lada Priora
| Disk size | Parameters (inch) / tire size |
| 5.5J on 14 ET37 | 5.5 (width) 14 (diameter) 37 (offset) tires – 185/65R14 (width, height, diameter) |
| –/– | 195/65R14 |
| 15ET35 | 175/55R15 |
| –/– | 185/55R15 |
| 16ET35 | 195/55R16 |
It is equally important to know the following characteristics:
- PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the center of the mounting holes: 97 mm;
- Drilling: number of holes 4;
- Fastener type: M12 – stud diameter;
- Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
- Center hole diameter: 59 mm;
- Pressure (front / rear): 1.9 / 2.0 bar.
PCD is calculated by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite holes. We measure with a ruler; it is not necessary to dismantle the wheel.
- For disks with five bolts, multiply the obtained result by a factor of 1.06;
- For four bolt construction, PCD = actual distance.
The offset of the rim is designated ET, the unit of measurement is millimeters. This is the distance between the point of contact between the disc and the hub and the middle of the rim width.
The designation is different in different countries. For example, in France it is called DEPORT, in Asia OFFSET.
The offset is positive if the plane does not extend beyond the point of contact, otherwise the offset is negative.
Peculiarities
As a feature for the Priora bolt pattern, one can name a common value among the concern’s cars, which is 4x98. The size of the central hole is also fixed and equal to 58.6 millimeters.
Some car owners install unsuitable wheels where the parameters do not match the original ones. In this case, centering rings are used, with the help of which the diameter of the central hole is changed. In this way, ensure that the holes for fastening the disk with bolts match.
The bolt pattern parameters for the Lada Priora car are common among the concern’s models. In this regard, there are no problems with selecting a set of disks for the model.
When choosing rims, the owner must pay close attention not only to the diameter of the rim, its weight and design, but also to important technical parameters. One of the key parameters for the compatibility of the wheel and the vehicle design is the bolt pattern.
This component is a value (the typical value for the vast majority of VAZ cars is 4/98) that determines the number of mounting holes (the first indicator) and the diameter of the circle of the distance between the holes (accordingly, the second indicator).
Second generation Lada Priora
At the end of 2013, the second generation of Lada Priora was released. The updates affected not only the interior, power plants, but also the exterior. The versions remain the same “Standard”, “Norma”, “Lux”, but with minor changes.
| Disc name for Lada Priora | Tire size |
| 5.5J on 14 ET37 | 185/75R14 |
| –/– | 175/60R14 |
| –/– | 175/65R14 |
| 14ET35 | 185/65R14 |
| 15ET35 | 185/65R15 |
| 16ET35 | 185/55R16 |

What kind of disks can be installed?
The size of wheels, tires, disks that are installed on a car have a direct impact on its technical characteristics. In the instruction manual, the manufacturer indicates the recommended dimensions, as well as acceptable ones.
The owner of the vehicle, in our case Lada Priora, independently decides what type and size of wheels and tires to install. For the average driver who uses the car as a means of transportation to and from work, the factory rim sizes are more than enough.
In case of tuning, changes in standard characteristics, dynamic indicators, it is necessary to refit the car with non-standard wheel sizes.
List of characteristics that can be changed by installing non-standard wheel sizes:
- Controllability;
- Road grip;
- Sharp and responsive steering wheel;
- Reduced/increased aquaplaning;
- Comfort of movement;
- Noise level;
- Combined cycle fuel consumption (see photo);
- Tread wear rate.
Disk specifics
The factory Lada Priora is equipped with 4 steel wheels with a diameter of 14 inches. To protect against damage, plastic caps are put on the discs. And it is because of them that disks have to be changed often for the following reasons:
- The hubcaps often fall off when driving over uneven surfaces. A few hits, hitting a dozen holes - and the plastic flies off somewhere to the side while you continue to drive along the road. Upon arrival home, it turns out that the plastic protection has disappeared, and the discs are now “bare”.
- The appearance of the Priora wheels also leaves much to be desired, and this is the second reason to replace the wheels.
- Low technical characteristics. The rather large weight of the products negatively affects the overall handling of the vehicle, and also slightly increases fuel consumption during the trip.
After some time, when factory products completely lose their performance properties, you have to look for a replacement. The main parameter that is worth remembering right away is the size of the disks. The optimal one for Priora is R14; R15 models can also be installed on Priora without any problems; R16 is used less often.
Compatible wheel sizes for Lada Priora
- Width:175, 185, 195, 205;
- Profile height: 45, 50, 55, 65;

- Width: from 175 to 195;
- Profile height: 40, 45.
Options
For the entire time when the Lada Priora car was produced, all the parameters and characteristics of the wheel rims remained unchanged. Drilling for disks, regardless of the method of their manufacture, size and design, is the same.
To guess with a new set of wheels, you need to know the following data:
- Rim diameter, the size of which is indicated in inches;
- Wheel rim width, also measured in inches;
- Reach, millimeter measurement system;
- The number of drilled holes for fastening with bolts is drilling;
- The hole for installing the hub, as well as its diameter. Denoted as DIA. The measurement system is also millimeter.
If you know all the listed parameters, it is almost impossible to make a mistake when selecting disks.
Priora's bolt pattern:
- The number of mounting holes and the diameter of their location circle is 4*98;
- The diameter of the hub or central hole of the machine is 58.6 millimeters;
- Rim diameter - 14 inches;
- Rim offset - 37-35 millimeters;
- Recommended width is 5.5 or 6.0 inches;
Also, as an alternative, there are special tables for determining the drilling parameters of any Lada car. They provide all the information on the declared dimensions and parameters for cars of all models and modifications.
This table allows you to determine the sizes and parameters of wheels for the Lada Priora in various trim levels and versions.
Recommendations for storing and caring for discs
- During a routine technical inspection, check the geometry and balancing of the wheel on a special diagnostic stand. If deviations are detected, restore the integrity of the structure;
- If cracks or dents form on the rim, immediately contact a service station for preventive maintenance;
- Avoid hitting road potholes at high and medium speeds. Regardless of the material or workmanship, the disk will be deformed and the seal will be compromised;
- Monitor the tire pressure; it should not be lower/higher than recommended by the manufacturer. If it deviates, pump it up;
- Switch to summer/winter mode in a timely manner. This means that in summer the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, and in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are specified in the vehicle operating instructions;
- Tighten the rim nuts with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - an emergency situation, unscrewing the wheel.
In dry, sunny weather, cast aluminum wheels are least susceptible to external damage. But in slush, ice, when the road is strewn with various chemicals, the rim is most susceptible to corrosion. This provokes paint peeling and destruction of the molecular composition.
Wash your wheels as they get dirty. Since it is unlikely that you can clean it properly with a rag, use high-pressure compressors. Equipment of this class is available at many service stations, workshops, and service centers.
Systematic polishing allows you to get rid of scratches and burrs. First clean the wheel from dirt, dry it thoroughly, and then treat it with a chemical. Wipe several times with a microfiber cloth.
About tires on Lada Priora cars of 14 and 15 diameters
The sizes 14 and 15 inches are rightfully the most common for installation on the Lada Priora. The manufacturer clearly states the permissible tire sizes. This:
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
In addition, wheels with the following dimensions are also suitable:
- 175/70 R13 82T;
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
The choice of size for a personal vehicle depends only on the preferences of the car owner. Different tires may provide different characteristics; to obtain the optimal one, you must take into account all the manufacturer's recommendations. For tuning, Priora can even be equipped with wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. They do not have a high level of smoothness, but they noticeably decorate the car.
