Many car owners had in their garage such a car, as "Niva 2121" - a wonderful off-road car. They liked "Niva" because of its patency and power. This vehicle is great for traveling around the city, as well as for rough terrain. Hunters, foresters and fishermen, willingly make trips to the "Niva".

The car has received respect and positive recommendations is absolutely deserved. A spacious saloon, two leading bridges and indifference to the road surface - this is what makes Niva one of the best cars of the Russian car industry.

Due to the available distribution, the car goes through a marshy and mountainous terrain in a reduced gear. But it's not so simple. To ride through the swamps and forests, you need to pay attention to such a factor as the wheels.

This article describes their correct selection for movement under certain conditions, as well as what size wheels on the "Niva 21214" is the most optimal for Russia. What is needed first? To correctly choose the size of the wheels on the "Niva 2121", it is worth remembering that the discs and rubber directly depends on the behavior of the car while driving.

Standard dimensions of the wheels on the "Niva 2121"

According to the standard, the size of the wheels on the "Niva 2121" is R16, having a rim of 58 millimeters. Also, the wheels of smaller size, for example, R15, are in great demand.

R15 is installed mainly in cases where the car is operated in a mountainous area. The large thickness of the rubber prevents damage to the disc and damages it perfectly when it hits the stone wheels or when it falls into a pit or pothole.

For "Niva 2121" CDs from "Niva Chevrolet" perfectly suit. In this case, no further development is required. Thanks to the installation of wheels from this model, the choice of tires increases, and the car will look stylish.

Installation of high-profile wheels on VAZ 2121

If you want to put on the "Niva" large wheels, but without cutting arches, perfectly fit wheels R15 with dimensions of 215-75. The tire should be no more than 40 millimeters apart, otherwise the fenders will become unusable due to the fact that the tire will scratch the plastic. Therefore, the size of the wheels on the "Niva 2121" without cutting arches, only 215-75 and a radius of 15 inches.

There is the possibility of installing a larger radius, but it is worth choosing the size of the disc and the tire proportionately to each other, to avoid grinding them about the fender and the damage to the wheel itself.

Influence of disc and tire dimensions

From what the size of the wheels is set to "Niva 2121", the features of the traffic can change drastically, and an important factor is understanding what is generally required from the car. With an increase in wheel diameter, such qualities as the style of the car, road holding, comfort when driving on level ground and control accuracy will improve.

The downside of the increased diameter is only movement along a dirt road or stony road: "Niva" will shake and inconvenience will be created for the driver and passengers. As the width of the wheel increases, all of the above listed qualities will be repeated, and the grip of the machine and the road and noise-absorbing properties will also improve.

A negative point when using wide wheels is an increase in tire wear, and fuel consumption will be higher. So the size of the wheels on the "Niva 2121" should be chosen deliberately and take into account the terrain where the car will be used.

Installation and operation of larger wheels

In order to put a large wheel size on the "Niva 2121", it is worth considering that the car will have to undergo some alteration. To begin with it is necessary to make люфт, by replacement of springs. To raise the "Niva 2121", the springs from "Niva Chevrolet" will perfectly suit. Also under the springs is to make spacers. Do not forget about the ball.

Standardly installed ball bearings with increased wheels are quickly damaged. It is best to make them to order. Well, the final factor in the installation is cutting arches.

Arches should be cut taking into account the depreciation of the car while driving. If the car will drive through forests and mountains, the arch should be cut 100-150 millimeters more than the wheel itself. When driving around the city, there are enough 80-100 millimeters.

After installing high-profile wheels, your car will radically change both in design and in quality of motion. In what direction changes will occur, for worse or better, depends only on the correctness of the installation itself.
