* Speed indices: T - up to 190 km/h, H - up to 210 km/h, V - up to 240 km/h. Load capacity indices: 88 - 560 kg, 91 - 615 kg.
** DIA - diameter of the central hole of the wheel.
** PCD - diameter of the wheel mounting holes.
** Rim offset (ET) is the distance from the mating plane of the disc to the center of the rim.

If you need to drive onto a curb, you need to shift into a lower gear and, if possible, return the wheels to the required angle closer to the curb. Avoid vertical and sharp obstacles. When parking the vehicle, do not allow the sidewall of the tire to scrape.

Regularly inspect the tire surface for tread wear, foreign objects, and uneven wear. Uneven tire wear may indicate that the wheel is not installed correctly.





The wear depth of the tread is limited by relevant laws and regulations.

When the tread pattern wears to the point where the indicator protrusions become visible (2), the tyres must be replaced, as the tread depth has decreased to 1.6 mm, which results in poor grip on wet roads.

Used tires must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental protection laws. As far as road conditions permit, winter tires should be replaced with summer tires immediately. This reduces fuel consumption and noise levels.

Rotate your tires regularly. It is recommended to perform such a wheel change every 10,000 km. That is, change the left front wheel to the right front wheel, and the right front wheel to the left rear wheel, (the maximum mileage of tires is 50,000-70,000 km)

Tire replacement

The tires used on your vehicle are carefully selected to provide the best vehicle control, comfort and safety. The above operating conditions for tires and wheels apply to steel or aluminum alloy wheel rims. If you want to know about using other types of tires or wheels on your vehicle, please contact an authorized service station.



The correct display of speed on the speedometer is affected by the size of the vehicle's tires. If the tire size (diameter) is different from the original, the speedometer may display an incorrect speed.

Using unsuitable tires and wheels may result in an emergency situation that is not covered by the warranty.

If you want to install non-standard tires or wheels, (such as alloy wheels or winter tires), follow the instructions or consult with an authorized service station.

It is recommended to check and adjust the vehicle wheel alignment during the first technical inspection and then carry out inspection and adjustment work every 10,000 km. (Responsibility for expenses lies with the consumer)

Anti-skid chains for snowy surfaces

Anti-skid chains for snow-covered surfaces can be used for both summer and winter tires, but are only applied to the drive wheels (that is, the front ones).

When snow chains are used on snowy surfaces, the performance of the vehicle equipped with the monitoring system may have some abnormalities in operation, which can be eliminated by disabling the system.

To prevent damage to the full diameter wheel cap, it must be removed before installing snow chains.

The wheel cap is put back on once the anti-skid chains have been removed.

When using chains, the vehicle speed must not exceed 50 km/h.

Chains must be removed immediately if there is no snow on the road.

How to choose wheels

Right away advice: if the car was bought with steel rims, it is better to put winter tires on them, and buy beautiful "casting" for summer ones.



The easiest - but also most expensive - way is to buy original wheels from an official dealer. If you want to save your hard-earned money, use our advice.

The law is the law

According to traffic regulations, disks must not have cracks or visible violations of the shape and size of the mounting holes. So, you can buy any? Not quite, because there are also the requirements of the car manufacturer. Of course, you can ignore them, but then you risk voiding the warranty. After all, if problems with the chassis arise, you will have to prove that this is not a consequence of using non-standard disks (for example, with the wrong departure). It is not possible to obtain a diagnostic card honestly, and meeting an inspector on the road can lead to trouble.

Steel or light alloy

Wheel rims made of light alloys are divided into cast and forged. Forged wheels are stronger than cast wheels and are less prone to damage under heavy loads. But the harder the disc, the more the tire suffers during an impact. That is why forged wheels pierce the sidewall of the tire when they hit a pothole.

Steel wheels are less aesthetically pleasing, but they are cheap and practical - a dented rim can be "rolled" with virtually no loss of strength. By taking the impact energy on themselves, they are more gentle on the tires. Light alloy wheels can also be repaired, but the metal structure is damaged, and therefore the restored wheel is dangerous to operate.

Let's look at the parameters

The permissible diameter and width of the disc can be found in the vehicle's operating instructions. The remaining parameters will have to be looked for on the back side of the original wheel. An alternative option is to use the selection of a disk for a car on specialized tire websites. The required dimensions are always available on forums dedicated to this car model.

The diameter of the central hole should be commensurate with the diameter of the car hub - if the disk hole is slightly larger, you should purchase an adapter ring. It is necessary to take into account the diameter of the circle on which the wheel mounting bolts or studs are located, and the number of holes for fasteners.

Step aside

Larger diameter wheels improve the appearance and handling of the car (when using low profile tires) and cooling of brake mechanisms. But they are more expensive, as are the tires on them. And less practical: more likely to get a puncture and less ride comfort.

In addition, it is difficult to find steel wheels with a diameter larger than 16 inches. With standard tires, you should not use wheels wider than the original ones. You won't get any benefits other than a spectacular appearance. However, there is a high risk of damaging the disk when parking close to the curb. A tire mounted on a rim that is too wide will not work properly and will wear out faster. And when turning, the tire can touch the wheel arch.

Reducing the wheel offset widens the vehicle's track and makes it less rolly. But a small offset overloads the wheel bearings and makes the steering wheel response sharper when the wheel hits an uneven surface.

There is another dimension - the distance from the brake caliper to the spokes of the disc. There have been cases when, despite all parameters being met, non-original discs have touched the brake mechanisms. Therefore, before installing tires, ask the tire fitters to try the wheels on the car, and with new brake pads, when the caliper protrusion is maximum.
