From time to time, almost all car owners have to choose which wheels to purchase for their car. For right choice you need to know the size of the disks and some other parameters of the car. This also applies to those who decide to choose discs for the Duster.

Standard equipment

Renault Duster leaves the factory on tires with a dimension of 215 / 65R16 (which means: a tire with a width of 215 mm, the ratio of the height of the tire profile to the width of the tire is 65 (the larger the number, the higher the profile), R16 - radial tire, landing diameter 16 inches).

When buying a car, there is not much choice in the variety of installed tires and original wheels. As the car manufacturer decides to complete the car, such a car will come to the dealer's warehouse. Some cars go to all season tires, others in the summer, for third, the dealer gives as a gift, for example, winter tires as a discount. In fact, it turns out that you will get it with the car, you will have to ride on that rubber. And the tires do not carry a special aesthetic component. How the car will behave on the road depends on the correct choice of tires.

With disks, the situation is a little different. In addition to practical benefits, it also depends on them. appearance car. Yes, and Duster discs can get such as 215 / 70R15 (682); Or whatever the owner of the car wants.

Disc selection

For correct selection you need to know some dimensional characteristics of Duster hubs.

• Razboltovka - 5 * 114 mm, where 5 - the number of holes, 114 mm - the radius between certain holes. This information is freely available on the manufacturer's website. If the bolt pattern is selected incorrectly or with an error, then the wheel will be skewed, and the bolt torque will be uneven. This can cause vibration and damage to the vehicle.
• Disc offset - indicates the distance between the contact surface of the rim with the surface of the hub and the middle of the axial width of the wheel. Wheels on a Renault Duster R16 car must be marked - ET50. Various manufacturers V different countries this parameter is denoted in different ways: the Germans - ET, the French - Deport, the British - Offset. Manufacturers are categorically against installing wheels with deviations from the ET value, because this will shift the steering axle, changing the relationship between the angle of rotation of the wheels and the angle of the steering wheel. As a result, this can be expressed in the loss of controllability of the car and increased wear tires.

Discs for Renault Duster 2.0 and other car brands are divided into two types - light alloy (forged and cast) and steel (stamped).

stamped discs

The most common and popular option for completing a car. Stamping, as a rule, is installed on new cars coming off the assembly line. The second factor influencing their popularity is low cost compared to other types. Stamped discs have a big plus - they are plastic. In the current state of the roads, a good pit, pothole or open hatch can be under the wheel at any time. And if the wheel falls into the pit, due to its plasticity, the rim is crushed and dampens the impact energy, thereby acting as a buffer between the obstacle and the car's suspension. Subsequently, the resulting damage is corrected in the tire shop by rolling.

But it also has disadvantages:

• for Renault Duster is much heavier compared to other types of discs. More energy is spent on its scrolling, and fuel consumption increases accordingly. If we analyze the consumption with a small mileage, then this, of course, is not so much. But if we consider high mileage, for example, the entire period of operation, then the amount will be decent.
• With frequent unscrewing and tightening of the wheel bolts to the hub, over time, the holes for the bolts are broken, which can lead to loosening of the fastening and the appearance of backlash.
• Steel is susceptible to corrosion. Over time, the integrity of the enamel or paintwork is broken, and water, salt, dirt, penetrating through the damage, begins to quickly destroy the metal. After several years of active use, especially in the autumn-winter period, the disk becomes completely unattractive.
• Stamping is created in bulk, does not shine with beauty and frills and does not give any individuality to the car compared to light alloy ones.

Alloy wheels

Alloy wheels on the Duster are made by casting in molds from an alloy of aluminum and magnesium. They are distinguished by a variety of shapes and designs and give individuality to the car. Compared to forged ones, light alloy ones are much lighter in weight. The difference can be up to twelve kilograms when comparing a total of four aluminum and steel rims. This has a beneficial effect on the economy of the car and its handling.

Negative points:

• Cast steels are hard and durable, but also brittle. If the rim is damaged, then in most cases its further operation becomes impossible. And due to the fact that they do not have the effect of depreciation, the entire impact is transferred to the suspension and other units of the car.
• The second minus is the cost of casting for Renault Duster, it almost doubles the price of stamped ones.

Renault car Duster enjoys mass popularity on the roads of our country. However, this is not so small car. That is why many are so interested in what wheels are installed for Renault Duster. It depends on what is the maximum.

In a nutshell about the car

Renault Duster is an excellent urban crossover. The first time the car was presented in 2010. The first version was produced with two versions of petrol power plants 1.6 and 2 liters. In addition, it was possible to purchase a version with a diesel, turbocharged 1.5 engine. In 2011, the model was restyled. In 2014, it was presented updated version that urban crossover. It is noteworthy that in Europe the car is known under the name Dacia Duster.

Standard size

Initially, Viatti Bosco A / T tires were chosen by manufacturers for Renault Duster. But over time, rubber suppliers began to change frequently. These wheels were designed specifically for mid-size urban crossovers, which is exactly how the Renault Duster was conceived. The factory wheel size for the Renault Duster is 215/65R16 at 685.9 millimeters. For the entire release this vehicle none of the owners of the car had any comments about the tires. this model the car can be safely used with standard tires.

This type of tire was produced with various types of tread patterns, mostly with increased speed indicators and specialized grooves on the sides to reduce noise levels.

Wheels for the Duster model are capable of withstanding loads up to 750 kg. With them, the car is able to pick up speed up to 240 km / h.

The second option standard tires on this car is 215/60 R17. When choosing wheels of this diameter, it is recommended to clarify the wear resistance indicators in advance. They will largely depend on the technologies with which the tires were made. It is advisable to pay attention to tires with a wider rib in the center. Due to this, the handling of the car will be much better. It is also recommended to choose stiffer wheels with shoulder blocks. Thereby braking distances car will decrease. Tires 215/60 R17 are able to withstand loads up to 710 kilograms. Maximum possible speed on such wheels is 210 km / h.

Those who still want to change the wheel can also look at the 215/75R15. When purchasing these models, the shape of the tread patterns is important. It is from them that traction during movement and its effectiveness on a slippery or loose road will depend. In addition, these wheels are favorably distinguished by minimal noise and increased wear resistance in the process of movement. And, as you know, these are the most important indicators when choosing. According to manufacturers, 215 / 75R15 can withstand loads up to 700 kilograms. They can easily reach speeds of up to 180 km / h. the car will feel more confident on the track.

Tire options

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of tires. Since there is only one tire, you won’t have to choose for a long time. It is required to start with the choice of diameter. On the Duster, the radius is 16”. Inconsistencies in this paragraph will prevent not only installing the wheel on the car, but simply assembling it.

Second important indicator is the profile height. It is a ratio to the width of the wheel. For Renault Duster, the indicator is registered in the car's passport and is equal to 65%.

Despite the fact that many motorists are sure that a profile size higher than the standard one will make the car taller and increase its cross-country ability, it is not recommended to install it with a profile size that is too large.

When installing wheels with a large profile, the speedometer will start to display incorrect data, and fuel consumption will change upwards. The width should be 215 millimeters, another simply will not fit.

The pressure level depends on the load on the car. If there are 1-2 people in the cabin when driving on summer tires, the pressure should be two bar.

If during operation squeaks and noises are heard in the area of ​​​​the front wheels of the Renault Duster car, then this will be clear sign that the bearing has failed. This part can be changed both at the service station and on their own with some experience.

This bearing is sent to the landfill, it has worked out its purpose.

Signs:

1. Friction, which, when turned, can turn into a squeak. This indicates that some of the balls in the bearing are not working.
2. Noise in the hub area . When parts are heated.
3. Clicks in the hub area regardless of wheel position. Indicates that the inner race of the bearing is damaged.
4. When metallic squeak and in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe front wheels, the car cannot be operated at all.

To repair and change the bearing yourself, you must adhere to these rules.

Preparing for a replacement

bolts

With the help of two bolts, 130-140 millimeters long, it is necessary to connect the opposite holes on the disk. These bolts are screwed into the hub to a depth equal to its thickness.

This is such a clever design.

With the help of a wooden block and a canvas, it is necessary to press the hub out of the socket. This should be done with sharp hammer blows.

We press out

Then you need to remove the retaining ring from its seat. The bolts that secure the hub to the lever are unscrewed, and the CV joint is removed. Then, with the help of pliers, the retaining ring is removed from the hub.

Pressing out the bearing

After that, you can press out the bearing itself. To do this, use the AZLK 2141 puller. In almost all cases, when the bearing is pressed out of the hub, a retaining ring located from the inside may remain in it.

Removing the retaining ring from the hub

It is also recommended to remove it. It sits tightly in the nest, and therefore it can be difficult to remove it. Here you will need to use a hammer and chisel. Initially, the ring moves along the hub, and then with a sharp blow of a hammer it splits into pieces.

Installing a new bearing

When working, use Litol-24 grease.

After removing the old bearing, it is applied to inside swivel fist. The new bearing has a chamfer on one of its sides. It is this part that should be pressed into the hub. This process is also carried out using a puller. The large washer of the fixture rests against rounded fist from the inside.

Install new bearing

In order not to damage the cage of the new bearing, it must be acted upon with the help of the old one, which will transmit the applied force. Here it is important to ensure that the new bearing fits into its seat without distortion. You have to press it in all the way. After that, a retaining ring is placed.

After this procedure, put in place brake disk. The sequence of its installation is opposite to the sequence of its removal. Also, other parts are put in place in the order they were removed. At the end of the work, the wheel is put in place, and the bolts of its fastening are tightened. This work can be considered completed.

Pulling, pulling! And they can't pull! This is not about those jeans that have remained since student times. This is about correct sizes rims and tires. If everyone is somehow informed about tires, then there is complete darkness about disks. Including about disk sizes for Renault Duster.

Correct dimensions

The car can stand different types disks. But their size remains unchanged.

When choosing the option of replacing the native size of disks with a Duster, if possible, you should not deviate much from the factory settings. After all, not only the survivability of the suspension depends on properly selected rollers. Or the responsiveness of the steering column, but also the driving safety.

On Renault Duster, the manufacturer installs rollers in the following combinations of dimensions: 6. 5 J x16 ET = 50 PCD = 5 x 114. 3 DIA 6. 1. Honestly, it looks more like some kind of spell 🙂 But let's sort it out in order in this spelling:

• 6.5 - this figure indicates that such a disk will “just” have tires 6.5 inches wide. To make calculations, you need to remember that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm. So the ideal tire width for such a rink is 16.5 cm (165 mm).

• J-means that the disc in its design has only one shoulder. This characteristic does not affect the quality and safety of traffic. The number of beads depends on the design features of each model.

• 16 - this figure indicates the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. On some roller models, H2 may appear after the rim diameter value. This inscription means that the disk design assumes the presence of two hunts. They serve more secure fixation tubeless tires during turns. Hunt is a ledge along the edge of the rink. This parameter is the most critical when installing off-road tires.

• ET - this is the optimal value for the offset of the disc. Specified in millimeters.

• PCD=5 x 114. 3 - indicates the number of holes for fixing the disk and the radius of the circle in the middle of which they are located.

• DIA - the numerical value after the letters indicates the diameter of the hub hole.

What disk size values ​​can be changed

The above values ​​are perfect combinations, under which the car manufacturer guarantees maximum level security. But not all parameters are so categorical.

If, when buying discs, the hub diameter (DIA) is larger, then you will need to additionally purchase seals (centering rings). With their help, you can adjust the diameter to the desired one (66.1 mm).

If you decide to install larger diameter discs on your Duster, you will have to take tire models with a lower profile height. That is, the diameter of the wheel rim should remain the same. And the increase in the disk should occur due to the reduction of the tire profile. For example, 17 inch wheels fit tires in size 215/60 R17 or 215/65 R17. In the photo below - Duster on 17 rollers (looks gorgeous, doesn't it?):

You can change the specified value of ET (disc offset) only in the direction of subtraction. In this case, a change of no more than 1 cm is possible. With a decrease in the offset value of the disc, the track width increases.

If the departure indicator changes by more than 1 cm, the probability of bending or breaking the axle of the car during movement increases. Therefore, it is better not to take risks and not overcome the recommended values.

When increasing the width size, you should be extremely careful. When increasing this indicator on the front wheels, you should pay attention to the change in the turning radius. Max Width The rims on the Duster is 8.5 inches.

A critical indicator, which is strictly forbidden to change, is the diameter and placement of holes for fasteners. Even a small deviation of a couple of millimeters from the factory diameter can lead to uneven fixing of all nuts.

Several proven models

Most often, casting is put on the Duster, since it is more of a city car, a “dude”, so to speak, and appearance matters. From casting, the choice is simply huge, models from Alcasta, SCUD and K&K are wildly popular, below are the wheels that are fully suitable for the stock Duster in size. Models Iguana and Veritas have already become classics of the genre.

Below you can see an alternative to the most popular casting:

KFZ 9563

High quality model of steel rollers. Has a lot of positive feedback from Duster owners. The cost of the rink is about 3,000 rubles.

A common mistake motorists make is to evaluate wheel rims in terms of their “artistic value”. Renault Duster Drive Parameters are strikingly different from the configuration of the BMW X3 wheels. Focusing on the appearance of the discs, motorists forget that the stability of the car, the life of the suspension, and the sensitivity of the steering largely depend on the wheels.

The parameters of Renault Duster disks differ depending on the configuration of the car:

1. Basic version Base (Authentic) is equipped with stamped steel discs;

2. Modification Ambience (Expression) is equipped with steel wheels, stylized as light alloy;

3. In the top configuration Laureate (Privilege) are available alloy wheels, the same version with the prefix "Luxe" can be equipped with alloy wheels.

Standard wheels on the Renault Duster have a radius of 16?.

Full information about the disks for the Duster crossover is as follows: 6.5Jx16, ET50, 5x114.3, DIA 66.1. Under a series of mysterious symbols, there are parameters that a car owner who wants to buy new wheels for a car must know. A simple "key" will help you figure out the encryption of disks for any car.

Dimensional characteristics of disks

The dimensions of the discs are meticulously calculated taking into account the shape wheel arches, design features pendants, brake system. to external dimensional parameters discs applies rim width (A),disc diameter (B). In the case of Renault Duster, these values ​​​​are indicated by the numbers 6.5 and 16.

Fixing options

The safety of the car largely depends on the reliability of the disc mounts. Here are important size and the distance at which the far mounting holes are located (PCD) and diameter central hole(DIA). Minor upward deviations are only allowed for the DIA parameter, the size of which can be adjusted with a special centering ring. PCD, on the other hand, must be strictly observed, otherwise it is impossible to properly fix the wheel on the hub.

DIA Renault Duster is 66.1 mm, PCD is 5x114.3.

Design features of the disk

Renault Duster wheels have a standard type J edge. Zakrajina is the edge of the rim that keeps the tire from slipping. Letter designation corresponds to a certain shape and dimensions of the flange (J - 17.8 mm, K - 19.7 mm, etc.).

Disk offset (ET) defines the distance from the edge of the disc adjacent to the hub to the center of the rim. For Renault Duster model ET=50 mm. The permissible departure deviation should not be more than 5 mm. Reducing it will lead to a loss of stability of the car, an increase in the load on the suspension. Wheels with a long reach may simply not fit in the wheel arch.

When using tubeless rubber, the HUMP parameter is important - ring protrusions that fix the bead of tubeless rubber. Humps (H) marked with letters and numbers. Letters - type of hump (F - flat, A - asymmetric, C - combined), numbers - the number of humps.

When selecting discs, you can ignore only the values ​​of J and H. It is better to follow the recommendations of manufacturers regarding other parameters of the discs.
