Factory wheels for Priora - parameters, article number, price
Wheels on the Lada Priora are installed as standard from the factory, their sizes and parameters are as follows:
- Diameter 14 inches.
- Drilling LZ×PCD 4×98 mm.
- Width 5.5J.
- Reach ET 35 mm.
- Center hole diameter DIA 58.6 mm.
There are no alloy wheels for the Lada Priora of any other size, also in the range of the Lada Sport brand. Depending on the configuration, Lada Priora was equipped with stamped steel or light alloy cast wheel elements.
From steel rims to alloy rims
The Lada Priora leaves the factory assembly line equipped with 14-inch steel wheels. Standard wheels have their advantages and disadvantages. Everyone knows the latter: it has a dubious appearance and a large weight of the product. The appearance is often covered with decorative plastic caps, which have the main disadvantage of flying off the wheels and getting lost on the potholes of our roads.
But car enthusiasts have found their own method here: they attach the caps to the wheels with plastic self-tightening clamps to tie the car’s wires. Nothing can be done about the heavy weight of steel wheels, although it affects handling and fuel consumption. The advantages of metal products are:
- After a strong impact with a pothole or stone, the iron rim will receive a dent or deformation, which can be straightened out using special rolling equipment. Damaged exterior can be easily fixed with a can of spray paint or a new trim cap.
- The low cost will allow you to easily replace severely deformed factory wheels.
However, high-quality cast or forged products are not so easy to deform or break, so they are becoming increasingly popular. Many Lada Priora owners do the following: they put winter tires on original steel rims, which will serve in difficult winter conditions, and use light-alloy ones in the summer.
Stampings
Stampings on Priora R14 are designated by catalog number 21700-3101015. Original steel stamped parts are produced by Mefro and TZSK LLC. The part is painted in one of the following colors:
- Black.
- Grey.
- Silver.
Lada Priora with r14 stampings are often found, since steel wheels were installed on most inexpensive trim levels, also due to the low price of stampings. Wheels on Priora - R14 stamping cost 800-900 rubles.
Tuning
As shown in the photo, the white Lada Priora hatchback is one of the cars that most successfully accepts the modernization of its appearance. Even a simple replacement of standard bumpers with restyled ones and tinting the windows gives the car individuality. However, the fantasies of car owners do not end there.
• Various types of body kits are used in the color of the Priora (pictured) hatchback white. Tuning bumpers and radiator grilles, installing a spoiler sometimes make a car completely unrecognizable, aggressive and impressive.

• Photo of a white Priora hatchback, tuning it in a retro style, can often be seen on the streets. Chrome-plated hubcaps in the style of the 50s of the last century and white rims on the wheels leave no one indifferent.
• The Lada Priora hatchback (pictured) is white, with red lighting at the bottom and looks very original.
• High-quality LEDs and eyelashes installed on a white Priora hatchback (photo below) will make the headlight tuning complete and the appearance seamless.
Advantages and Disadvantages: Dies and Casting
Basically, cars are operated with two sets of tires: winter and summer. Therefore, in order not to waste time and money on seasonal tire fitting, purchase a second set of wheels. The wheels on the Lada Priora are either stamped steel or light alloy cast, and the car owners decide what type of elements to buy.
Differences in steel stampings:
- Low price.
- Maintainability.
The main disadvantage of stampings is their high specific gravity. The disadvantages also include low resistance to deformation and the fact that they are monotonous in appearance and not interesting. But a bent steel stamping can be easily straightened even by hand, and when deformed, the wheel absorbs impact energy, protecting the suspension from damage. Therefore, this can be a plus to some extent. The design can be improved by installing wheel covers, but some people like the look of a car with stamps.
Casting looks more beautiful, weighs lighter, since light alloys are used in its manufacture, and almost any design can be cast. Improving the design of the car and reducing sprung masses are the advantages of installing casting. The main disadvantage is the high price. Casting is three or more times more expensive than dies of the same size.
The strength of alloy wheels is higher than that of stamps, but this advantage has a downside. Yes, the casting can withstand light impacts, but after a serious impact, for example, falling into a hole at high speed, the casting can no longer be restored. The coating of most models is afraid of the aggressive action of anti-icing agents; this is the “scourge” of winter roads in large cities.
Therefore, stamps are better for winter - even if the steel rusts (which should not happen with high-quality painting), the wheels are easy to tint and inexpensive to replace. The almost continuous design of the stamping sidewall better protects brake system parts from snow and mud.
Pros and cons of a white car
Advantages of painting a Priora white hatchback car:
• Of course, a chic appearance! White color can visually increase volume. Therefore, clean and sparkling in the sun, as if from a picture, the white Priora hatchback always has an impressive and at the same time elegant appearance.
• In dry weather, dust and dirt are much less visible on it than on cars with a dark color. Pollution becomes noticeable only from a close distance, but from a distance the car appears clean. Accordingly, cleaning costs are reduced.
• White color tends to reflect sunlight. This is especially felt in the summer heat. The white Priora hatchback (photo below) heats up much less.
• It is clearly visible on the road, including at night. This most likely determines the statistics of accidents - white cars get into them much less often.
• The purer the white color of your Lada, the less susceptible it will be to fading. In case of repairs and the need for touch-up, it will be much easier to choose a shade that best matches the original one.

• Small scratches and chips are much less noticeable. This is because paint primer is usually white. Therefore, if the scratch is shallow, then it is not visible.
• White Priora hatchback lends itself very well to modernization. Tuning (pictured), which will make your car original, can be done with your own hands.

Installation of large diameter wheels
Standard Priora rims are size R14, so alloy wheels of this diameter are the most popular, the choice of patterns and colors is very wide. Installing them on a car does not present any difficulties and is done quite quickly, and the cost is quite affordable compared to products of large diameters . According to manufacturing technology, they are divided into 3 categories:
- Alloy wheels are made of aluminum, less often of magnesium. The metal is cast in a special mold, and after hardening it is finished using automatic metalworking equipment, and then painted. Such a product is afraid of strong impacts, it can crack or even collapse and cannot be repaired. The presence of a crack in the R14 cast rim can be detected by air leakage from the wheel and a drop in pressure.
- Light alloy products are made from alloys of various light metals; the production technology is similar, only first it is necessary to make an alloy with the necessary characteristics, and then pour it into a mold. Such discs are more expensive, but their resistance to impacts is much higher, they do not lose their appearance from environmental influences and can be used all year round.
If you replace the R14 steel factory wheels with R15 light alloy rims, then this will be the most compromise solution for Lada Priora owners who want to change the car’s exterior as much as possible at minimal cost. As in the case of R14 wheels, installing R15 rims will not require any intervention in the car’s design, but the appearance will be much more remarkable. The only problem is to choose the right new product and tires for it.
Ideally, you should carefully try a new alloy wheel on your car right at the store. Depending on the configuration, you may need to purchase new, longer wheel bolts as they are not included with the rims. The tire size that can be recommended for installation on an R15 wheel is 195/50; it will not touch the suspension and body parts and is not low-profile enough.
What changed after the replacement?
Changes in the behavior of the car after installing R15 wheels can already be felt. The stability and controllability of the car will increase, sensitivity to small irregularities will decrease (if you do not install low-profile tires). At the same time, sensitivity to ruts in the road surface will also increase, and when driving at high speed into a large puddle, you need to be much more careful, since the contact surface on R15 wheels is larger, the likelihood of skidding increases. The effect of all these factors will be enhanced if the factory wheels are changed to a diameter of R16 or larger.
According to numerous reviews from amateurs and specialists, there are no serious obstacles to installing wheels of increased diameters R16 or R17 instead of Priora wheels. If you do not take into account the cost factor, then the whole difficulty of the operation lies in the exact selection of disks, tires, and bolts. By approaching the problem scrupulously, taking into account all the parameters, especially the offset and the “x-factor”, it can be solved after spending some time.
Car enthusiasts who have installed such wheels claim that the rubber does not rub anywhere, even with the steering wheel turned completely out. The car is very stable in turns, reacts more sharply to steering movements, and better “swallows” small holes and bumps. As for weight, an example is the Slik R16 disc with low-profile tires: 205/45/16-13 kg.
Having studied the market and determined for yourself what wheels you would like to see on your car, take the time to select the right one according to the technical characteristics. In an unforeseen situation, it will always be possible to put factory iron rims back on the Priora, so after replacement there is no need to rush to sell the removed wheels.

It is difficult to find wheels in the size for Priora from European, American, and Japanese manufacturers. But if you deviate from the standard parameters, you can choose beautiful castings from well-known brands. True, they cost much more than their Russian and Chinese counterparts.
Wheel sizes: what wheels can be installed on Priora
Wheel arches of Lada Priora accommodate wheels not only of standard size. Without modifications, the Lada Priora can accommodate wheels with a diameter of 15 and even 16 inches, naturally, together with lower-profile tires than the standard ones.
It is permissible to install rims with a width of 5.0–6.0J. For non-standard wheel configurations, wider ones are used: 6.5–7J. Overhang within ±5 mm. That is, wheels with an offset of 30 to 40 mm are suitable. The use of spacers allows you to install a disc with a different offset.
A large assortment of both stampings and castings allows you to select wheels for the Lada Priora in full accordance with the wishes and capabilities of the owner. The main thing is to use high-quality wheels that fit the size and the appropriate tires.
Standard tire size for Lada Priora
The standard tire size for the Lada Priora is 14 inches. The diameters installed by the factory in various configurations are as follows:
- 175/65 R14.
- 185/60 R14.
- 185/65 R14.
- 185/55 R15.
The speed index is at least H, which implies a limit of 210 km/h. Load index – 82, maximum load capacity – 475 kg.
The manufacturer allows the vehicle to be operated with wheels with the same tire size, but speed index V (up to 240 km/h) for tires with a diameter of 15 inches, T (no more than 190 km/h) for other sizes.
Tires with a diameter of 13 inches are not allowed to be installed on Prioras equipped with larger wheels from the manufacturer.
Tire pressure
The wheels need to be pumped up to 2.2 atmospheres in the front and 1.8 atmospheres in the rear.
What can happen to tires - malfunctions Rubber is a soft material that is quite easily pierced, cut, and torn. The most common injuries are punctures. A pinhole puncture of tubeless tires with a sharp object does not immediately cause a complete loss of air in the tire and is eliminated even without re-bending the wheel. When hitting foreign objects, the tread may be penetrated over a large area.
Also, the rubber suffers from side cuts, especially models with soft sides: when driving through holes with sharp edges, due to careless parking along curbs. Another problem is “hernia” - swelling in the side.
Tires are subject to natural wear and tear. The use of wheels is allowed with a tread depth of at least 1.6 mm for summer tires and at least 4 mm for winter tires. If operating rules are not followed, for example, driving with incorrect pressure, damaged suspension, broken wheel alignment, the tire wears out faster and unevenly.
