very often lately the traffic police have begun 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’m no exception, but in addition I also have a spare wheel holder installed on the rear door and bumper protection, so I decided to register them. I had my doubts, but it turns out there are no problems! To design this Bracket, I first contacted the INSAT company, that is, the Institute for Certification of Automotive Equipment, there are, of course, other companies, this is all optional, I first asked in words if it was possible to obtain permission for a spare wheel bracket and bumper protection, they immediately answered YES, it is possible, and I I immediately submitted the car documents and copies of certificates downloaded from the Tehnosphere LLC website to them and paid 3000 rubles. the next day I already received a ready-made preliminary examination report in which it is written 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 a live seal and signature of the seller, I immediately called the manufacturer Tehnosphere LLC and they sent me certificates by mail on the same day, five days later I received them and am satisfied I went to the Technical Department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, wrote an application to change the design of the car, where an employee examined the car, checked the license plates, etc. (by the way, all additional extras must be removed since you have not yet been given permission to install them) then in the office of the technical department 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 the examination conclusion says that it is possible and self installation I immediately took the application form - declaration for the installation of additional equipment and filled it out according to at this moment My car should already have the additional equipment that I indicated in the application! Then I went back to INSAT to get the examination report and paid 4000 rubles. and two days later I received a protocol in my hands where it says that everything was installed safely, etc. and the main change in car parameters is the weight increased by 5 kg and the length by 200 mm. , then the state technical inspection here, of course, everyone wants to pay you a ruble as well diagnostic card They will bring you home, I personally stopped by on the way and for 390 rubles. passed by myself! Then, again, go to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for inspection and submit documents to the office, that is, the conclusion of the preliminary examination, the examination report, an application for making changes to the design of the car, an application-declaration for the installation of additional equipment and a state fee of 800 rubles. (by the way, the other traffic cop didn’t even look at the certificates, but when asked by me, do you need them? He answered that since the bracket is not subject to mandatory certification, no! No need!!!) But there are different types of screws, it’s better to stock up, there won’t be any extra! Well, a week later I received a certificate of design change from the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and, in order not to delay until later, I immediately went to change the registration certificate, that is, to make changes, this is another state fee of 850 rubles. Well, that’s the whole procedure, I slowly completed it 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!

In most cars, the spare tire is located in a special niche, which is present in luggage compartment and is covered with a shelf. Constructors domestic station wagon In this regard, the Lada Largus with increased carrying capacity indulged in an unconventional method of placing the spare tire. And many are interested in the question: where is the spare tire? They placed this wheel in a special basket, which they hung from the outside to the bottom in the trunk area. If the new owner of this model is not aware of the location of the spare tire, then it may take him some time to find this object, during which he is guaranteed to be in complete amazement.

How to remove and install a spare tire in Largus?

Next we will tell you in detail how to remove the spare tire. Since the spare tire in the Lada Largus station wagon we are considering is located in a hard-to-reach place, in order to provide convenient access to it you will need to hang the car with a special lifting device or act from the pit.

So, let's film!

1. At the basket, which is designed to hold spare wheel in a suspended state, there is a special hook. It is secured with a bolt. First, we unscrew the specified fastener a small number of turns. We use a size 17 head with a suitable extension.
2. Next, we proceed to removing the handle of the basket itself from the specified hook.
3. Now we need to lower the basket to a certain angle. Here you need to manually hold the spare wheel.
4. Having achieved this, remove the spare tire and set it aside.
5. We remove the basket itself from the brackets present on the body elements of the bottom.
6. When the holding basket is dismantled, you can begin to remove the lock. This is not always required, but you should not lose sight of this point. Here we use a Torx T40 type wrench.

Install the cart.

1. Before installing the lock body, we install sealing ring, acting as a spacer between body element Lada Largus and the product discussed here.
2. We fasten the body itself using the indicated two bolts.
3. We install the hook in its original place and screw in the bolt (not completely) that secures it.
4. We place the basket levers into the corresponding brackets located on the body.
5. Now you can stow the spare tire.
6. We raise the basket itself to the required level, after which we secure the handle in the indicated hook.
7. Tighten the hook bolt with full torque.

The removal operation should be carried out with sufficient frequency, which will make it possible to easily remove the spare tire at the right time. road conditions.

Moving the spare tire to the stern door

If the owner has set out to convert the engine of his Lada Laprgus to gas fuel, then installation of gas cylinder equipment will be required. But where to install the cylinder itself? It is for these purposes that owners transfer the spare wheel to back door, freeing up space for installing a container for fuel. IN in this case There is only one way out - a spare wheel for the rear door.

For these purposes, you will need to acquire an appropriate device called a bracket. It allows you to securely fix the spare wheel on the surface of the stern door. The estimated price of such a device fluctuates around 4 thousand rubles.

There are a couple of design options for the bracket in the implementation network. Among them:

• a rotary type bracket installed on the surface of the rear right door;
• a product of reinforced construction, the fastenings of which are installed under the bottom in the luggage opening.

Both options involve mounting the bracket on standard points on the body. There are corresponding holes for these purposes. Here the manufacturer saved the owners from the need for modifications in terms of constructing additional holes.

Bracket for spare tire

This bracket allows you to hold both the spare tire and the spare wheel with equally good efficiency. This product is also not capable of interfering with the functioning of parking sensors and allows you to install a tow bar without additional effort.

• length – 55 cm;
• width – a similar parameter (55 cm);
• height does not exceed 30 cm;
• The weight of the product is 5 kg.

In addition to the specified bracket, manufacturers include a cover for the spare tire, made of eco-leather or hard plastic cap.

Let's sum it up

Despite the unconventional location of the spare wheel in the station wagon LADA Largus The practicality of the car is not compromised at all. This decision of the manufacturer pursued the goal of achieving maximum versatility for transporting various types of cargo. The solid hard floor of the luggage compartment makes this possible.

The fastening itself is not complicated and can be dismantled without much effort. The main thing is to provide convenient access to perform actions.

The manufacturer also took care of those who like to install gas equipment, providing for the possibility of installing the bracket we considered. This also comes with convenience and does not restrict the trunk capacity, for which they buy a Russian station wagon LADA Largus.

On the Lada Largus, the manufacturer has allocated space 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: where to put the additional wheel, because a gas cylinder is installed in its place.

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

Advantages and disadvantages of fastenings

The spare wheel bracket located on the rear door has a number of advantages:

• doesn't spoil appearance auto;
• reliable;
• easy to operate and install;
• preserves the ability to use the useful volume of the trunk to the maximum.

The spare wheel 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, creaks. Car owners also note that the door does not open completely, which makes accessing part of the trunk difficult.

Bracket selection and installation

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

• spare wheel holder on the rear door: fixed and rotating versions available;
• reinforced spare wheel mount - fixed in the trunk opening and to the bottom of the car, replacing the tow bar.

To install the fastener, you do not need to drill new holes for bolted connections; existing standard places are used. The spare wheel 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.

If there is a conventional bracket, the fastening gate is opened first, then the tailgate. The reinforced lock has its own characteristics: first the left holder is unscrewed, after which the wheel tilts to the right.

Installing the bracket takes no more than 20 minutes:

• unscrew top nuts lower and upper hinges of the rear door on the right;
• the bracket is placed on the vacant seats;
• screw the hinge nuts and two fastening bolts into the standard places near the door lock.

The installation is complete, all that remains is to put on the protective cap or cover, if any. Installation of a reinforced holder will take more time, since the bracket is fixed to the bottom of the car. This means that a lift or inspection hole will be needed.

Bracket for spare tire for Lada Largus car + Cover for spare wheel Largus 15" with the inscription LARGUS

Folding spare wheel mount for Lada Largus located at the rear of the car and attached to standard holes, makes possible installation HBO into the vacant space under the luggage compartment in regular place spare wheel. This method of installing gas equipment significantly saves space in the trunk, at the same time, the spare tire is always with you and an unexpected tire puncture will not be a big problem on the road!
People who install gas equipment want to use their car as efficiently as possible, saving money on gasoline, but it’s bulky gas cylinder takes up a lot of space in the luggage compartment, and putting it in the compartment under the spare wheel, thereby sacrificing the spare tire itself and exposing yourself to danger on the road in case of a puncture, is not The best decision.
Now you can install gas equipment without sacrificing a spare wheel or taking up useful space in the trunk. This will be especially useful for entrepreneurs transporting large volumes of cargo in their Lada Largus.
Installing the bracket is simple and does not take much time. Does not require additional drilling.

Andrey, hello. The hubcaps fit 15" wheels, 16" wheels do not. They are not available due to the fact that Cross’s standard spare tire is also 15”, so manufacturers do not make 16” hubcaps. The cap matches the color - no problem, the fastening itself - no, because there is no such polymer paint in production. This is if, after receiving it, you lightly sand it (not to the point of iron!) and dust off the 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" hubcaps on the Cross? And another question about color: is it really possible to paint it in the original color (basalt)?

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

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

Content Manager / 2016-11-23 10:50:29

Thank you. I ordered an overlay from you rear bumper for 450 rubles and the post office charged 480 rubles for delivery. Is the bracket with the cap much heavier?

Fairushin Ildus Damirovich / 2016-11-23 10:45:47

Ildus, hello. If by mail - 550-600 rubles. Transport companies expensive.

Content Manager / 2016-11-23 10:27:14

Hello. I want to order a bracket for the spare tire for a Largus along with a cover. How much will delivery cost until October Bashkiria.

ildus / 2016-11-23 10:04:19

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

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

Good afternoon I see that the certificate lists Niva, but why isn’t Largus listed? How then can we apply this certificate for fastening the Largus wheel?

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

Vladimir, hello. I recently spoke with an inspector at a technical inspection about iron body kits. He told me - install thresholds and don’t worry about anything, don’t put anything in front or behind, because traffic police inspectors may have questions for you. To which I said - this is certified hardware, 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 deeper, the reason is that the car does not leave the factory with these protections. To which I told him - What about towbars, the car doesn’t work with them either? To which he said - Yes, you’ll get rid of it, but it’s better not to put anything in front and behind, and you can put the thresholds, no one will say anything))). The traffic police, until the law has been passed, cannot register this additional equipment, since there are no regulations, 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. This is the same as being fined for a towbar or roof rack...

Hello. Today the traffic police told me that the rear wheel mount is considered as optional equipment How gas installation and you also need to re-issue the registration certificate. Is it true?

A few days ago, Ford showed the silhouette of a new Ford SUV Bronco, which is due to hit the market in 2020. After this, 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, won’t understand, but what’s wrong with this? But look at all the modern SUVs and you won't see a spare tire on the back door. Today, spare tires 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 rear 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 rear 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 (driver's side). This place to store the spare tire in the trunk is very inconvenient.

Also, this wheel arrangement is impractical because it takes up too much space in the trunk. Agree, it's a pretty 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 this arrangement in the trunk?

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

Jeep later corrected this problem with spare tire storage by relocating it in 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 height is less important than the width of cargo space. On the one hand, this was an interesting decision, since the trunk actually became free of a spare wheel. But there is one problem. To accommodate the spare tire under the trunk floor, engineers had to move the SUV's fuel tank down. As a result, the tank ended up in a vulnerable spot:

Some off-road enthusiasts and Grand owners Cherokee (WJ) has repeatedly resorted to removing the metal spare tire storage cylinder to solve this problem, redesigning the location of the fuel tank. This modification of the car 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 a location 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 difficult, but also how do you solve the problem of storing a spare tire? large diameter? After all, off-road enthusiasts often install large-diameter wheels on their “tanks.” In this case, you also need a large spare tire, which, most likely, simply will not fit under the trunk floor. Also remember that in order to get to the spare tire under the floor, you will have to remove everything from the trunk.

In an SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ (1999-2004) the spare tire 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 that are located in front rear axle(mainly access to fuel tank V modern cars carried out under back seat). As a result, the spare tire located under the floor no longer moves the gas tank, reducing ground clearance. This is especially important for SUVs, for which ground 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 there a wheel with a larger diameter than provided by the manufacturer.

Another spare tire location we often see on SUVs today is under the rear of the vehicle (for example, in the video above you can see the undermount spare tire on a Toyota 4Runner).

This location is also not the best for a spare tire, as it reduces the SUV's ground clearance. For off-road enthusiasts, you must agree, this is not the best solution.

In this case, off-road fans would probably prefer a smaller trunk volume than a reduced ground clearance. Also, this arrangement of the spare wheel limits SUV owners in placing large-diameter wheels. Indeed, in this case, the ground clearance will be further reduced due to wider tires.

But the main problem hanging spare wheel is a risk of damage. Especially when driving off-road, since when driving through various potholes you can damage the spare tire. Besides, can you imagine what it’s like to change a tire for a spare one off-road? After all, after even a short movement in the mud, the outboard spare tire will be all dirty. And the wheel still needs to be removed from under the car.

Although it is worth recognizing that many manufacturers today often equip cars with a hanging spare tire with various mechanisms that help owners safely gain access to the spare tire and quite easily change a damaged wheel. Nevertheless, the risk of damage to the spare tire and the inconvenience of replacement due to dirt has not been canceled.

So, as you can see, everything modern solutions The location of the spare wheel in the car is not ideal and has many disadvantages. Although, of course, there are also advantages. But they are covered by disadvantages. This is especially important for those who like to frequently drive off-road.

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

After all, with this arrangement of the spare tire, the volume of the vehicle’s cargo space is not reduced, nor is the ground clearance reduced, which, of course, does not affect the departure angle of the car. In addition, the spare tire on the tailgate does not become too dirty when driving off-road. Including the spare wheel on the door, which is easily accessible. But most importantly, the spare wheel on the rear door looks incredibly stylish and beautiful.

Do not agree? Then show us one SUV that looks better without a spare tire on the back door than most cars with a spare tire on the back door. You will see that even the smallest Ford EcoSport looks much better with the spare wheel on the door:

Additionally, you can customize the tailgate spare tire depending on your tastes and views. For example, or like this. Agree, it's great to personalize your car.

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

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

Spare wheel on the rear door in the new one Jeep SUV The Wrangler doesn't reduce rear visibility much. But in previous generation SUV rear visibility left much to be desired

However, the main problem with the location of the spare wheel on the tailgate is rear impact in an accident. Yes, the Insurance Institute car safety The USA (IIHS) once conducted a series of tests of SUVs 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 in an accident. That is, according to IIHS experts, the spare tire on the rear door is responsible for more significant damage in an accident.

Photo: IIHS

Here's a look at this crash test of a 2000 Isuzu Trooper SUV, which was tested at 5 mph (8 km/h):

IIHS President Brian O'Neill said after these tests that the Isuzu Trooper SUV was the worst-performing midsize SUV ever tested. After testing the Isuzu Trooper, the IIHS report stated the following:

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

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

2002 Jeep Liberty tailgate crash test with spare tire at 8 km/h

Crash test of the rear door with spare tire of a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL

For comparison, here's a crash test of an Isuzu Rodeo that passed the same tailgate test with a spare tire:

In its 2000 report, the IIHS Insurance Institute stated that the 2000 Isuzu Rodeo SUV has the same tailgate spare tire 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 an Isuzu Rodeo is hit in the rear, repair costs are more than $2,000 less compared to an Isuzu Trooper.

So, yes, the rear wheel on the tailgate takes a big toll 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 point out and that is the spare tire on the sides of the car, which was installed on some cars back in the day. Here's a look at what it looks like using the Jeep CJ-6 as an example:

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

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

But on a modern car, a side-mounted 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 it will be very difficult to drive such cars. So for modern SUVs, side mounting of the spare tire is not entirely optimal.

That's why we are of the opinion, like many SUV enthusiasts, that the best location for the spare tire is on the tailgate. This is despite the fact that the wheel on the tailgate often blocks rear visibility and can be the culprit of more global damage even in a minor rear impact. Even if opening the trunk requires more effort due to the weight of the spare wheel.

We believe that a tailgate spare tire has more pros than cons compared to other spare tire designs in modern cars. After all, when the spare tire is located outside on the trunk door, this not only makes access to it easier in case 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 rear door looks stylish. So we hope that automakers will agree with us and soon return the spare tire to the rear door. At least real SUVs. Believe me, many people need this.
