The size of the wheels in any car plays an important role. Despite the diversity of the size of the wheels, for each car there are strict regulations on the selection and installation of these parts. Renault, as any other car is designed in such a way that the parameters of the R14 and R15 wheelcases are an integral part of the chassis. The conversation in this article will go about choosing the size of wheels for Reno, as well as choosing and installing a winter chain, bolt length.
Selection by parameters
Design Bureau of Renault Factory, provided for its cars the size of wheels, constituting 15 and 14 inches. In addition to these parameters, you need to add width and departure, as well as disk break and the length of the bolts. All parameters we indicate in a separate list below.
Wheel parameters on the Logan should be exactly such.
- Recommended parameter - R14, R15 (14 and 15 inches).
- Permissible breakdown - 4x100.
- Width of the wheel disc - 5 / 5j, 6j.
- Departure of the Balance Plane - ET43, ET
- The diameter of the hub of the hub - Dia1.
To clarify these data, we collected all the information, so that the reader did not have any questions, as well as let it be, why R14 and R15.
- The radius of the Logan wheel is the provided value adopted by the automotive standard and is denoted by the Latin letter "R", respectively, the wheel parameter will look like this: R14 or R This abbreviation is denoted by a diameter divided by two, respectively, the wheel size is 15 or 14 inches, respectively.
- The word breakdown heard many car owners, but not everyone can give a clear definition of this term. The breakdown is the length of the distance between the centers of two bolts. Example - 4x100, digit 4 denotes the number of holes for fastening bolts, the number 100 speaks of the distance between two opposite holes.
- The width of the wheel is measured in inches and is denoted by the back side, the letter - J. Therefore, this designation will look like this: 5/5J, denotes the width of the disk at 5.5 inches.
- The departure of the bustal plane is the distance between the board of the disk and the edge of its internal rim. This parameter is measured in millimeters and is indicated as ET. The greater the number of ET, the stronger the disk is recessed inside the wheeled arch.
- As for the diameter of the hub hole, it is also measured in millimeters and is indicated by three letters of the Latin alphabet - DIA.
These data should not be neglected when choosing wheels for Renault Logan, otherwise serious problems may occur during the operation of this car. Also, you should not neglect the size of the diameter of the hub, since there may be a serious wheels.
Bolts.
Carefully select the bolts for alloy discs, since the length of the bolts is different for them. Bolts for stamping shorter bolts for light-lavetles.
As a rule, the length of the bolts ranges from 3.5 cm to 8 cm.
Why exactly 14 and 15?
Each automaker establishes certain standards for its cars, no exception and Renault Logan. It is for him that the plant provided for the wheel size of 14 and 15 inches suitable for this model. If you use other wheel sizes instead of R14 and R15, you can significantly reduce the quality of the car intensity and the driving comfort of the car.
R14 is a standard solution for scanty complete sets, but R15 cars are already equipped with expensive versions.
The use of larger diameter wheels can cause damage to the wheeled arches, as well as crooks and other body elements. The dynamics of the car, as well as its cost-effective qualities, can negatively affect. Speaking in general, the use of non-standard solutions leads to negative consequences.
Selection of winter chains on Renault
In the conditions of harsh winters, Russian motorists prefer to use winter sets of chains to increase the passability of their car. Renault Logan Owners also prefer these solutions for their car and choose the standard size R14 and R15. Chains, indeed, contribute to the facilitated passage of the car in difficult situations.
Choose parts that are suitable for the size of your car.
The main criterion for choosing the winter chain is the quality of manufacture, as well as the assembly of chain elements. On the shelves of auto shops are offered a wide selection of these solutions for the front and rear axes of the car.
Keep the chains need in a dry place, so that they did not overcome corrosion.
These details, indeed, help the car when driving in deep snow. The only disadvantage of this solution is the maximum permissible speed, as well as difficulty in the installation. It is about installing chains on Renault Logan further will be discussed.
Installation
Wear chains only if there are harsh conditions, ride the asphalt on the chains is prohibited!
- To install the chain element on the Renault, it is necessary to put it in front of the car wheel, and then make a hit to fasten the lock.
- To make the mount, wrap the wheel in such a way as the locks closed, pre-having threaded tire pressure.
- Fasten the chain lock locks and restore the pressure in the wheel.
This process is the same on R14 and R15 wheels. Installation can be considered completed. This operation is equally carried out both on the front and on the rear axes of the car.
RESULTS
Based on the foregoing, the conclusion can be made one: do not neglect the technical tolerances of your car and do not allow non-standard solutions. Use R14 and R15 as a standard from which you can not shy. Purchase high-quality details of well-known manufacturers. We urge you to listen to our opinion and make the right choice.
The most popular question coming from changing seasons is the acquisition of wheels that affect not only appearance, but also on the driving quality of the car. About everything you need to know when selecting wheels on Logan, read below.
Not easy choice
About what discs are best approaching Renault Logan, and what is worth to give preference, you can speak infinitely. Popular and alloy wheels from 14, 15 and 16 radius are popular with popularity. In addition to the model, manufacturer, type and colors, you have to choose between the original and analogue.
Standard wheels on the Logan with a cast disk look definitely winning. Models 14 sizes are more suitable for those who prefer to ride in bad roads. Such parameters allow you to install a lagging rubber, providing high driving comfort and a smaller risk of damaging the tire.
Some owners put non-standard 16 size: it allows you to set the so-called low profile and improve the appearance of the car. However, practice shows that the use of low profile rubber on 16 discs, in contrast to R15, leads to their gradual deformation and unwanted backlash, as well as rapid damage when engaged in front of the front side.
Stamped models are original for Renault Logan and are distinguished by low price and variety of sizes. For a small cost, you can take 14 or even 17 discs, the choice is limited only by the fantasy of the car owner.
For the cheaper you have to pay a unwashed outdoor view of the Logan and use the caps. Moreover, the wheel is incorrectly selected in size can affect the front of the wing in the maneuvers.
More - does not mean better
Despite the fact that 16 discs and caps have recently gaining increasing popularity among tuning and low-profile rubber lovers, absolute rating leaders still remain discs 14 and 15 radius.
R14 wheels and caps are considered the most fiscal option, and the variety of models is not inferior to other dimensions: there is where fantasy is raised. The drill standard is 4 * 100. Deviations from the value are extremely undesirable and can lead to backlash, deformation of the disk and fastener bolts.
In addition to 14, no less popular wheeled disks and caps of 15 radius are used: it looks better, but more expensive. On R15, the classic scheme for the location of bolts is similar - 4 * 100, so with the installation on the Renault logan there will be no problems.
Discs and caps of large sizes also occupy their legitimate niche on the shelves. Decorating the former - 4 * 100. The peculiarity is that the wheel with an incorrect profile will be cling to the front of the wing and prevent normal rotation. 
So that this does not happen, the factory documentation is not enough. 16 The size is not standard and to avoid the backlash and vibration when moving the machine, these discs advise to apply the parameters recommended by experienced car owners.
Also, it is also more accurate to ride and carefully monitor the quality of the roadbed: 16 wheels in aggregate with low-profile rubber and low-quality mounting bolts often lead to damage to expensive vending elements of the car suspension and the occurrence of the backlash in the system.
Tuning ideas
Disks on Logan are selected and installed, but something clearly lacks. This means only one thing - it is necessary to upgrade the appearance of the wheel so that they began to bring moral satisfaction to the owner.
Starting with the selection of bolts with an upgraded head - it transforms Logan and will not allow the back of the wheel on the go. The bolts themselves differ in type, style, appearance, and even manufacturing material, leaving the fantasy of the car owner an infinite selection field. 
The main criterion when choosing tunned wheel bolts on the Logan remains their characteristic. Missing with a reference diameter or a thread step will lead to a backlash. Another reason for troubleshooting is the use of low-quality goods.
In addition to bolts, wheeled wheels are widespread. Their use allows you to change the appearance of the machine disk for the minimum possible amount. The caps themselves are usually made of plastic and are suitable for wheels of any type. The only minus is that the caps due to the occurrence of the back often right on the go hung off the wheel and represent a potential danger to drivers moving behind.
Summing up
To the choice of wheels on the Logan it is worth the responsible. In addition to the appearance, this indispensable part provides the comfort and safety of movement and the maintenance of the suspension, which takes from the wheel all shocks that occur when the roadbed defects are driving.
The change of seasons is forcing the owners of Renault Logan "Publish" your cars. But for this, first of all, it is necessary to know the "shoe size" of its "horse". Today, this model is collected in six different countries. However, despite this, the basic equipment always has wheels, the dimension of which is 185/65, and the landing diameter corresponds to R14 or R15.
Specificity and sizes
Given the specifics of the assembly of Renault Logan, car enthusiasts are forced to change discs (by 14 or 15 inches) immediately after purchasing transport. Since the automaker sets durable, though absolutely not having aesthetic species, the owner replaces the wheels on the ones that he likes more. However, a more aesthetic option is not always suitable for this model. From the pattern of the tread R14 or R15 depends on the level of asphalt, fuel consumption. That is why, changing regular tires (14 or 15), or discs on the car, it is necessary to strictly follow certain requirements.
- The original disk contains data on the available bolts, the diameter of the central (main) hole, as well as other necessary information.
- The disk must have a landing diameter that does not exceed 15 inches, but not less than 14.
- For use, tires with tread width 180/70, 170/70, 190/70 R14 or R15 can be used.
- The maximum suitable for Renault Logan Rubber is indicated by a number 80, which means the load index, as well as be sure to the letter "T", which is the speed index.
- Not recommended the use of non-core tires.
Standard disks for this model is the usual stamping on R14 or R15 (14 or 15, respectively), made of sheet steel. It is her who seek to replace the forged or alloy wheels. However, in winter, many drivers prefer stamped discs.
Manufacturers Logan Install tubeless tires having size 165/80 R14. Also, 175/70 R14 is allowed, respectively, 185/70 R14.
This dimension is perfectly suitable for disks with the designation 5.5JX14. On wheels 6JX15, it is recommended to install tires having dimensions 185/65R15. To understand the symbols found in the catalogs, you should familiarize yourself with their decoding:
- 14-15 - denotes diameter;
- J5.5-6 - shows width in inches.
Based on this, the size of the tires can be decrypted:
- 165, 185 - their width;
- 65, 70, 80 - indicate the percentage of the profile width;
- 14-15 - the corresponding diameter.
According to regulations, the optimal is the depth of the tread 1.6 mm. The most secure option is 2 mm. What bus tires are better for this car, R14 or R15 (14 or 15 inches)?
By purchasing a car, the buyer must familiarize themselves with the size of the tires that are better fit Renault Logan, comparing them with the manufacturer installed. This will allow you to more actually submit a total amount that includes an additional installation of the navigation device and climate control.
Studded tires
Many believe that the studded "shoes" Renault Logan is a panacea of \u200b\u200bfrozen roads. Does this mean reality?
The studded rubber has a high braking efficiency on an ice surface. However, on bare asphalt, she drives too noisy, and its braking path is significantly increased. Therefore, studded tires are, indeed, winter tires.
It does not talk about the need to spend fabulous money. Having stitched on your own tires, you can get the same effect, significantly saving.
Compromise for all seasons serve all-season tires. True, for energetic drivers such rubber is a huge risk. It is best suited to unhurried housewives, which even on dry coverage ride no more than 80 km / h. Therefore, to ride was comfortable and safe to competently select tires.
Not studded tires
If you live in places where the road in winter is covered with the finest layer of light snow, and heavy snowfall is rarely observed, non-studded tires will be an excellent option. The car, the "shirt" in the studded rubber, it is more difficult to enter turns, and even more so slow down on a dry road. This is due to a decrease in contact area with a surface.
Buying non-studded rubber, you should pay special attention to the drawing of the protector.
For southern regions with wet snow covered roads, it is better to choose a directional pattern - "Christmas tree". Such tires have the ability to fall out of the wheels, significantly improving the adhesion with the road.
Choose winter tires
Logan tires are not always changed after the purchase. It is much more often done when their integrity is violated or when changing seasons. To install a suitable rubber, you need to know exactly the size required for Renault. So, the "foot" of the Frenchman is not too large, the following tires will be fully tired:
- with 14-inch disks, the rubber is perfectly suitable for 185/70 or 165/80 R14
- on 15-inch can be set 185/65 or 185/70 R15.
According to the prescription of the manufacturers, pressure in Renault tires is allowed:
- for R14 in the front, as well as rear wheels 2.0;
- for R15 - 2.2 in the rear wheels, and 2.0 in the front.
In addition to the correct size, with the selection of tires to the Logan, many factors should be taken into account. Since the material from which the regular summer tires is made is significantly different from what is used for winter, it is recommended to use each of them at a certain season. Given that summer tires have a high rigidity, increasing in the cold, it is already known to change the rubber in the late autumn. Those who want to save and acquire, all-season tires can be said that they are safe only at a temperature not exceeding -20.
Winter tires will allow you to better protect yourself and the life of loved ones. The savings are inappropriate, since the safety of the ride will depend on the quality of the tires. The main elements of winter tires are wear-resistant rubber protectors that contribute:
- excellent performance on icised and snow-covered coatings;
- minimal brake path;
- safe moving in winter roads.
Summarize
Of course, what Tires R14 or R15 are better to solve you. However, the main rules for choosing rubber for Renault Logan is the compliance with the pressure and dimension of the tires. This will help avoid unforeseen problems.

Standard Wheels of the 14th Radius
The first parameter to be paid attention to, is the height and width of the tire, and this is the manufacturer's factory (gives clear recommendations, what kind of tire size is designed for cars with a specific wheel size., This is one of the most popular methods.
In the case of a 15-inch wheels with a diameter of 15 inches, the following parameters are used: 185/65 R15.
And in the case when the wheels have the standard 14th radius size will be: 165/80 R14, 185/70 R14.
Standard Wheels of the 15th Radius
- R14 - 5,5H2 ET 43 DIA 60.1 PDL 100 × 4.
- R15 - 6J15 ET 50 DIA 60.1 PDL 100 × 4.
What to pay attention to when choosing summer tires on Renault Logan?
First of all, you need to remember that the more expensive the tire, the more qualitative and, accordingly, more durable. In the manufacture of tires expensive stamps, advanced and modern technologies are used, which affect only the positive side during its operation. Thus, it is safe to say that the price is a determining factor in the selection of tires!
Tires with a similar pattern have both their drawbacks and advantages. The most fundamental advantages include a small price and reliability in operation. And the shortcomings can be attributed the smallest performance indicators in contrast to tires equipped with a directional and asymmetrical pattern.
A similar type of tires have its own feature, since the picture has a specific direction, it follows only in a certain direction, which is indicated by the arrow on the bus housing. The disadvantaged of a similar tire is the inability to rearrange them on the one hand to another and back, since the driving quality of the car is significantly worse and the wear of the tire will be significantly increased.
Tires of this type have a feature in the tire installation in a certain way. On each side of the tire there is an inscription:
- In Side. - The party should be directed inside the machine.
- Out Side - This should look out.
If you neglect these rules, the tire wear will increase, and the indicators will deteriorate during the ride.
What summer tires are better (survey)?
What to pay attention to the selection of winter tires?
Just as in the choice of summer tires - the price and manufacturer are the main indicator in its choice. Further, winter tires are studded and so-called "velcro".
Top winter tires of the 2015/2016 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8.
Here the main indicator number of spikes in rubber and the quality of rubber itself. After all, these indicators are very important when the car moves along the icing and snow-covered roadway.
conclusions
As you might see for yourself, knowing all the necessary parameters for your car approach the tire selection, it is purely individually, based on your own needs, wealth and pursued goals. It is important to remember only one thing that should not save on those elements of the car, from which traffic safety directly depends on.
When changing the seasons, the owners of almost all cars are forced to "re-over" their "iron horses". To do this, you should clearly know which size of the tires that must be replaced. This fact is also valid for the owners of Renault Logan. This model is now coming from assembly conveyors of six countries. Despite such "multinationality", for Renault Logan in the basic version, including tires of summer 185/65, for which the manufacturer uses R14 or R15 discs.
Subtleties of specifics and sizes
The specific components of the model under consideration provides for the presence in the factory version of durable, but do not have sufficient aesthetic disks. This encourages many owners to resort to the replacement of these elements on the analogues like. Also owners are faced with the need for passing replacement and it is important for this to know which tire size of the model. Here, an important point will be the correct selection of the tread pattern, which affects not only high-speed parameters, but also on stability, as well as noise.
To make the right choice and replacement of discs or tires summer or winter (sets), it is necessary to clearly follow certain rules.
- The original disk has data regarding holes for fastening studs, central cuts for a hub, etc.
- The disk must have the parameter of the planting radius, varying within 14-15 inches.
- What size of tires should be applied: 180/70, 170/70 and 190/70 (all for R14 or R15).
- The most adapted for Renault Logan so-called summer and winter tires has labeling "80", which means
Load index. There is no compulsory marker here - "T". - An extremely undesirable action will be the use of non-core tires.
In the standard version of Renault Logan there are discs made of sheet steel. These products are given preference when driving in winter. For the summer season, most owners seek to replace the factory "stamping" to more attractive alloy or rolled wheel "rollers".
Also a popular measure today is the installation of tubeless tires. Their size is basically 165/80 R14, but an installation is allowed 175/70 or 185/70.
This samples will be canceled by the discs with the labeling "5.5JX14".
Wheels "6JX15" What is the size of the tire fits? Those that possess the dimension of 185/65 R15.
For a clear understanding of the essence of the designations, we give their decoding:
- figures "14" and "15" mean radius (in inches);
- "J5.5" or "J6" indicate the width of the rubber (also in inch expression).
Based on the "encryptions" we can specify any of the previously specified elements of rubber, namely:
- 165 or 185 - a parameter that determines the value of the width;
- 65, 70 or 80 - the characteristic of the profile height, expressed in the percentage ratio of the width;
- 14 or 15 are disk radii.
What types of rubber give preference to the owner of Renault Logan: R14 or R15?
During the purchase of a particular car, the Buyer should familiarize themselves with all the options available for its tires, and understand what kind of tire size is to buy. By selecting the optimal version by parameters and comparing its data with tires installed initially by the manufacturer, you can independently make a right solution.
Rubber on spikes
Many are inclined to approve that studded winter tires is the top of sustainability on the road to ice. Is it really?
The spikes in the protectors allow you to ensure confidence in the efficiency of braking in the icy road. On the naked asphalt coating, this winter tires are prone to noise and has a much higher than the magnitude of the braking path. This circumstance is not a reason to acquire expensive summer tires having factory spikes. The procedure for installing spikes is actually carried out by its own way. Means are saved, and the effect is identical.
All season tires have always performed a compromise solution. Energetic "pilots" they will not fit and conjugate with the risk of stability during maneuvering. This option is more suitable for non-spiritual drivers. In order to achieve comfort in combination with security, only competently selected tire variants should be purchased.
Tires without spikes
If the exploitation of Renault Logan in winter implies the absence of heavy snowfalls or ice highways, the use of tires with a lack of spikes will be a rational solution. The armed spikes will be harder to cope with dry asphalt when braking or maneuvering in rotary zigzags. This effect is explained by the decrease in the contact area of \u200b\u200bthe tire and the road surface.
In the case of the purchase of unsuccessful sheep of wheel tires, we recommend detailed to select the type of tread pattern. A directional pattern will be more relevant to tires operating in the conditions of southern regions, where the attribute of winter weather is wet snow. This feature of the tread is capable of ensuring an effective removal of slush from under the opposite surface of the wheel, which significantly improves the adhesion with the roadpapers.
How to choose winter tires?
Most often, the owners resort to replace tires into the off-day period. To install the appropriate tires, you need to have knowledge of the sizes of discs.
- The 14-inch discs are optimally suitable tires with parameters: 185/70 or 165/80 and R14 radius.
- For 15-inch elements, you can apply tires with dimension: 185/65 or 185/70 (both options R15).
The regulatory prescription of the manufacturer to pump Renault Logan tires is defined in the following values:
- 2.0 bar (around the perimeter), if 14-inch discs are installed;
- 2.2 Bar for tires feed and 2.0 bar at the tires front (for R15).
Besides the dimension factor when buying tires for the Renault Logan car, it is necessary to discount such important criteria as the material that is laid by the manufacturer in the structure, summer tires and winter products differ in terms of softness and other properties, so each of these options is subject to use in strict Compliance to the specific season. Summer, in contrast to which winter tires is more rigid, so in frosty time hardens that negatively affects stability.
Fans of innovation, inclined to buy all-season options, should be reminded that this kind of tires can be safely operated at external temperatures not exceeding minus 20 CO.
Winter tires with a greater share of probability protect the owner and its satellites. Savings in this situation are inappropriate. The structure of winter rubber is based on the presence of wear-resistant rubber compounds, providing on the road:
- excellent adaptability to iced or snow-covered;
- minimum brake distances;
- security and confidence in motion.
Summarize
In the direction of which type of tires (R14 or R15), the bowl of the scales, decides each individually owner Renault Logan. We should not forget about the correctness of the required pressure in the tires, as well as the applicability of each type ("Summer / Winter") only during the corresponding season.
