Why the right place for a spare wheel is on the tailgate. Methods of fastening the spare wheel on the Largus Spare wheel on the left rear door of the Largus

very often lately the traffic police began to pay attention to cars with additional equipment and tuning, so I decided to legalize what I hung on my largus!

Good afternoon Many have already started registering HBO on their cars and I am no exception, but in addition I still have a spare wheel bracket installed on the back door and bumper protection, so I decided to register them, I doubted it, but it turns out to be no problem! To design this Bracket, I first contacted the INSAT company, that is, the Institute for Certification of Automotive Equipment, there are, of course, other offices, this is all optional, I first asked in words whether it was possible to get permission for the spare wheel bracket and bumper protection, they immediately answered YES, maybe I immediately gave them auto documents and copies of certificates downloaded from the website of Technosfera LLC paid 3000 rubles. the next day I already received a ready conclusion of the preliminary examination, which says that this bracket can stand on this car and does not affect safety. traffic. Although this additional equipment is not subject to mandatory certification at the institute, I was warned that traffic cops are different and it is better to get certificates certified by the live seal and signature of the seller, I immediately called the manufacturer Technosfera LLC and they sent me certificates by mail on the same day in five days I received them and am satisfied went to the Technical Department of the UGIBDD wrote an application for a change in the design of the car; there the employee examined the car, checked the numbers, etc. (by the way, all the special stages should be removed since you have not yet been given permission to install them) then in the office of those departments they looked at my application , certificates, the conclusion of the preliminary examination, they immediately put a seal and signature on the possibility of installation, and since it is written in the conclusion of the examination that it is possible and self-installation I immediately took the application form - declaration on the installation of additional equipment and filled it out accordingly with this moment my car should already have additional equipment that I indicated in the application! Then I went back to INSAT to receive an examination protocol and paid 4000 rubles. and two days later I received a protocol in my hands where it is written that everything is installed safely, etc. and the main change in the parameters of auto weight increased by 5kg length by 200mm. , then the state technical inspection here, of course, everyone, as he wants, can pay you a ruble diagnostic card brought home, I personally drove along the way and for 390r. went by myself! Then again to the UGIBDD for inspection and to the office to submit documents, that is, a preliminary examination report, an examination report, an application for changes to the design of the car, an application-declaration for the installation of additional equipment and a state duty of 800 rubles. (By the way, the other traffic cop didn’t even look at the certificates, but when I asked a question from me, do you need them? He answered that since the bracket is not subject to mandatory certification, no! Don’t!!!) But gays are different better stock up will not be! Well, a week later I receive a certificate of design change at the UGIBDD, and in order not to postpone it for later, I immediately went to change the registration certificate, that is, to make changes, this is another state duty of 850 rubles. Well, that's the whole procedure, I slowly went through in a month and a half, but taking into account the organization of work in the traffic police, less than a month will not work, since the technical department works two days a week for three hours, this is for the entire Nizhny Novgorod region and you will have to visit it at least 4-5 times!

Andrey, hello. Caps fit 15" wheels, 16" no. They are not available due to the fact that Cross also has a standard spare tire of 15 ", so the manufacturers of caps do not make 16". A cap in color - no problem, the mount itself - no, because there is no such polymer paint in the production. This is if, after receiving it, you lightly sand it (not to iron!) And dust it from the spray can - then it will be gray basalt, and so - only those colors that we have in the photo.

Content Manager / 2016-12-15 11:14:01

Good afternoon Are there 16" caps for Cross? And another question about color: is it really possible to paint it in the native color (basalt)?

Andrey / 2016-12-15 08:29:06

Ildus Damirovich, the parcel will weigh 8-10 kilograms. You will get a 3% discount on the goods for the second order, just tell the manager about it))

Vladislav Nikolaevich, hello. In the file - application 0874475, spare wheel mounting is indicated. This application is applicable to this mount.

Chabanov Maxim Vasilyevich / 2016-11-06 14:23:36

Good afternoon Here I look in the certificate, Niva is indicated, but is Largus not indicated? How then is this certificate applicable for fixing the Largus wheel?

Brodov Vladislav Nikolaevich / 2016-11-06 09:43:53

Vladimir, hello. I myself recently spoke with the inspector at the technical inspection about iron body kits. He told me - set the thresholds and don’t worry about anything, don’t put anything better in front and behind, because traffic police inspectors may have questions for you. To which I said - this is certified iron, which is installed without making changes to the design of the car. To which he said - that it is certified for sale, but not for installation, because the law that regulates these body kits is under consideration in the State Duma, but we can slow down and dig, the reason is that the car does not leave the factory with these protections. To which I told him - And what about towbars, the car doesn’t work with them either? To which he said - Yes, you will recoil, but it’s better not to put anything in front and behind, but you can put thresholds, no one will say anything))). The traffic police, until the law came out, cannot register this additional equipment, since there is no regulation, the law is still in the State Duma, and they cannot fine for it - there are no grounds under the current law, since the mount is installed without constructive changes in the car. It's the same as fining for a hitch, or a roof rack...

Hello. Today at the traffic police I was told that the rear wheel mount is considered as optional equipment How gas installation and the same need to reissue the registration certificate. Is it true?

A few days ago, Ford showed a silhouette of a new Ford SUV Bronco, due to enter the market in 2020. After that, millions of fans of real SUVs literally went crazy because the silhouette of the car clearly indicates that the SUV will again have a spare tire on the tailgate.

Many, of course, do not understand, but what is this? But pay attention to all modern SUVs and you will not see a spare tire on the back door. Today, spare wheels are placed incorrectly by automakers. Why is it wrong? The thing is that on SUVs, the spare wheel should, as before, be located on the back door.


Ford Bronco 2020 is hidden under the cover. But its silhouette clearly suggests that the American automaker has placed a spare tire on the tailgate.

Do you think that the spare tire should not hang on the back door? Then explain this to those who owned or still own the first generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) where the spare tire was located on top of the trunk (with driver's side). This space for storing a spare tire in the trunk is very inconvenient.


Also, such a wheel arrangement is impractical because it takes up too much space in the trunk. Agree, quite a stupid decision. Especially if you store a full-fledged off-road wheel in the trunk. Now imagine how to place a large off-road wheel with such an arrangement in the trunk?

By the way, look how the owner of an SUV Jeep Cherokee(XJ), in which the manufacturer also placed a spare tire in the trunk, solved this problem in order to carry a large wheel without compromising cargo space.

Jeep later corrected this spare wheel storage problem by moving it to the next generation of the SUV. Grand Cherokee(WJ) under the raised floor in the trunk. Apparently, the automaker has decided that the value of cargo space in height is less important than the width of the luggage space. On the one hand, it was an interesting decision, since the trunk actually became free of a spare wheel. But there is one problem. To fit the spare tire under the boot floor, the engineers had to move the SUV's fuel tank down. As a result, the tank was in a vulnerable place:



Some off-road enthusiasts and Grand owners Cherokee (WJ), to solve this problem, more than once resorted to removing metal cylinder to store the spare wheel by redesigning the location of the fuel tank. Such a modification of the vehicle design allows you to raise the location of the fuel tank in order to increase ground clearance and, of course, protect the tank from damage when driving off-road.


Naturally, such an arrangement of the spare wheel under the trunk floor is very inconvenient if you are going to store a full-fledged heavy off-road spare wheel in it. Not only is it inconvenient and heavy, but besides, how do you solve the problem of storing a large diameter spare tire? After all, off-road enthusiasts often install large-diameter wheels on their "tanks". In this case, you also need a large spare wheel, which, most likely, simply does not fit under the trunk floor. Also, don't forget that in order to get to the spare wheel under the floor, you have to remove everything from the trunk.


In an SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ (1999-2004) the spare wheel was located under the raised floor in the trunk

It is worth noting that modern cars, as a rule, are now equipped with fuel tanks, which are located in front of rear axle(mainly access to fuel tank V modern cars carried out under back seat). As a result, the spare wheel, located under the floor, now does not move the gas tank, reducing ground clearance. This is especially important for SUVs, for which clearance is the main thing when driving off-road.

Although it is worth recognizing that the location of the wheel under the trunk floor still reduces the height of the cargo space and does not allow placing a wheel of a larger diameter there than provided by the manufacturer.

Another spare tire location, which we often see on SUVs today, is located under back car (for example, in the video above you can see the outboard spare tire on the Toyota 4Runner).

This place is also not the best for a spare tire, as it lowers the SUV's ground clearance. For off-road lovers, you see, not the best solution.

In this case, off-road fans would probably prefer a smaller trunk volume than a smaller one. road clearance. Also, such an arrangement of the spare tire limits the owners of SUVs in placing a large diameter wheel. Indeed, in this case, the ground clearance will still decrease due to wider tires.


But the main problem outboard spare wheel is a risk of damaging it. Especially when driving off-road, as when driving through various bumps, you can damage the spare tire. Also, do you have any idea what it's like to change a spare wheel off-road? After all, after even a short movement through the mud, the outboard spare tire will be all stained. And the wheel still needs to be removed from under the car.

Although it is true that many manufacturers today often equip cars with an outboard spare wheel with various mechanisms that help owners safely access the spare tire and change a damaged tire quite easily. Nevertheless, no one canceled the risk of damage to the spare wheel and the discomfort of replacing due to dirt.


So as you can see everything modern solutions according to the location of the spare wheel in the car, they are imperfect and have many disadvantages. Although, of course, there are pluses too. But they are outweighed by cons. This is especially important for those who like to often ride off-road.

Therefore, the best solution for placing a spare wheel is on the back door of the car. Unless, of course, we are talking about an SUV.

Indeed, with such an arrangement of the spare wheel, the volume of the cargo space of the car does not decrease, the ground clearance does not decrease, which, of course, does not affect the departure angle of the car. In addition, the spare wheel on the tailgate does not get too dirty during off-road driving. Including the spare wheel on the door is easily accessible. But most importantly, the spare wheel on the tailgate looks amazingly stylish and beautiful.

Do not agree? Then show us one SUV that looks better without a spare wheel on the tailgate than most cars with a spare wheel on the rear door. You will find that even a small Ford EcoSport looks much better with a spare on the door:


In addition, you can customize the spare tire on the tailgate depending on your tastes and views. For example, or so. Agree, it's great - to individualize your car.

Of course, the wheel on the tailgate also has a number of disadvantages. First, it reduces visibility rear view(for example, when moving in reverse). Including rear spare tire limits the design and style of the tailgate. For example, if rear wheel located on the back door, then there can be no question of any full raising of the door with the help of shock absorbers, since a full-fledged spare wheel weighs a lot.

Also, a door with a spare wheel is much more difficult to open, regardless of the type of use of the opening mechanism. And it's all about the large mass of the spare wheel. Especially when it comes to the spare tire of a large SUV.


Spare wheel on the back door in a new SUV Jeep Wrangler does not greatly reduce rear visibility. But in the previous generation of the SUV, rear visibility left much to be desired.

However, the main problem with the location of the spare wheel on the rear door is the rear impact in an accident. Yes, Insurance Institute automotive safety The United States (IIHS) once conducted a series of tests of off-road vehicles at a speed of 8 km / h, as a result of which it turned out that vehicles with spare tires on the rear doors are prone to more damage as a result of an accident. That is, according to IIHS specialists, the spare tire on the back door is the culprit of more significant damage in an accident.

Here is a look at this SUV crash test Isuzu Trooper 2000 model year tested at 5 mph (8 km/h):

IIHS President Brian O'Neill said after these tests that the Isuzu Trooper SUV, according to the test results, was the worst mid-size SUV ever tested. After the Isuzu Trooper tests, the IIHS report stated the following:

  • A 2000 Isuzu Trooper SUV sustained over $11,000 worth of damage in four crash tests. Including more than $3,000 worth of damage in a rear impact at 5 mph. For example, a blow to the rear of the car due to the spare tire resulted in severe damage back of the car. Broken back glass

Similar poor results can be seen in other low-speed crash tests that have involved vehicles such as Jeep "KJ" Liberty And Suzuki Grand Vitara

Crash test tailgate with spare wheel Jeep Liberty 2002 of release at a speed of 8 km/h

Crash test tailgate with spare wheel Suzuki Grand Vitara XL 2001

For comparison: here is a crash test on Isuzu Rodeo, which passed the same tailgate test with a spare tire:

In a 2000 report, the IIHS Insurance Institute stated that the 2000 Isuzu Rodeo SUV has the exact same tailgate spare as the Isuzu Trooper SUV. But compared to the Trooper, the Isuzu Rodeo SUV has less damage after being hit in the rear at a speed of 8 km/h. According to experts, when the Isuzu Rodeo hits the rear, the repair costs are less than $ 2,000 compared to the Isuzu Trooper.

So, yes, the rear wheel on the tailgate incurs a high cost on impact. But, as you can see, this problem was partially solved in the early 2000s.

There is one more thing that we want to pay attention to - this is a spare tire on the sides of the car, which at one time was installed on some cars. Here's a look at how it looks on the example of the Jeep CJ-6:


This design of the spare tire in the car does not sacrifice any rear visibility in the car, does not impede access to the cargo space, and in a rear collision, the side spare tire can, under certain conditions, absorb the impact energy, since the wheel is turned back by the tread.

On an old Jeep, the side spare looks just as impressive, doesn't it?

But on a modern car, a side spare tire would look terrible. In addition, a side-mounted spare tire is not very convenient in modern road traffic. For example, on narrow streets and in parking lots, driving such cars will be very difficult. So for modern SUVs side mount spares are not quite optimal.


That is why we are of the opinion, like many off-road enthusiasts, that the best spare tire location is on the back door. This is despite the fact that the wheel on the tailgate often obscures rear visibility and can be the culprit in more global damage even with a small blow from behind. Including even if it takes more effort to open the trunk due to the weight of the spare wheel.

We believe tailgate spares have more pros than cons compared to other spare wheel designs in modern cars. After all, when the spare wheel is located outside on the tailgate, this not only facilitates access to it in the event of a tire puncture, but also gives free space in the trunk and does not reduce ground clearance.

And, of course, the spare wheel on the tailgate looks stylish. So we hope that the automakers will agree with us and soon return the spare tire to back door. At least real SUVs. Trust me, a lot of people need it.

On Lada Largus, the manufacturer took a place in the trunk for a spare wheel. Today, many drivers, in order to save money, prefer to install LPG ( gas equipment). For this reason, they face a problem: what to do with additional wheel, after all, a gas cylinder was installed in its place.

Some design special devices for attaching a spare wheel to Largus with your own hands, but they turn out to be too bulky, they look unaesthetic. They can also raise questions from traffic police officers, since license plates or lights are often closed with such mounts. The best option the solution to the problem will be the installed spare wheel on the back door of Largus.

Advantages and disadvantages of fasteners

The spare tire bracket, located on the rear door, has several advantages:

  • does not spoil appearance auto;
  • reliable;
  • easy to operate and install;
  • retains the possibility of using the useful volume of the trunk to the maximum.

A spare tire mounted on the rear door protects the bumper from possible damage.

Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the possible sagging of the hinges with all the ensuing consequences - loose closing of the door, distortions, squeaks. Car owners also note the incomplete opening of the door, which makes it difficult to access part of the trunk.

Bracket selection and installation

Brackets for fixing a spare wheel on Largus appeared on the market of car accessories not so long ago. There are two types of such mounts:

  • spare wheel holder on the rear door: there are fixed and swivel options;
  • reinforced spare wheel mounting - fixed in the trunk opening and to the bottom of the car, replacing the towbar.

No new holes need to be drilled to install the mount. bolted connections, already existing regular places. The spare tire on the back door can become a decoration if you purchase an additional cover. It can be ordered in any color and with any inscription.

In the presence of a conventional bracket, the fastening gate leans first, then the tailgate. The reinforced lock has its own characteristics: first, the left holder is unscrewed, after which the wheel leans to the right.

Installation of the bracket takes no more than 20 minutes:

  • the upper nuts of the lower and upper hinges of the rear door on the right are unscrewed;
  • a bracket is put on the vacated places;
  • the hinge nuts and two fastening bolts are screwed into regular places near the door lock.

Installation is completed, it remains to put on a protective cap or cover, if any. Mounting a reinforced holder will take more time, since the bracket is fixed on the bottom of the car. This means that you will need a lift or a viewing hole.
