Hyundai Creta is a small crossover made in South Korea. Car production began back in 2014. Two years later, the vehicle was presented on the domestic market. The car has received several modifications.

Depending on the configuration, the Kreta wheels have different sizes. The machine can be equipped with 16 or 17 inch disks. The tire size is 205 / 65R16, 215 / 60R17, respectively.

Many car owners appreciated the original appearance of the car in combination with universal functionality. Another reason for its popularity is the adequate cost of transport. With excellent performance characteristics, the car belongs to the middle price segment.

Wheels, tires

The exterior of the car has its own characteristics. And due attention should be paid to light-alloy wheels and tires, which are presented in several versions, depending on the configuration.

The version of Crete that is supplied to our country is somewhat different from the one that is intended for other countries, in particular for India, China. Differences are significant and not very, for example, the presence or absence of heated seats.

Regular wheels and disks for our country are installed in several types, depending on the configuration. The maximum set is 17 ", the rest are 16". Wheels differ not only in size, but also in external performance, that is, design.

What Tires Affect

Tires reflect the characteristics and dynamics of the vehicle. The various performance characteristics of the vehicle depend on them. In addition, wheels are an important element of car safety. The standard tires offered by the manufacturer have undergone numerous tests during the production phase and are adapted for serious loads and operation in our conditions.

As the reviews testify, the standard wheels perfectly fulfill the obligations assigned to them, cope with heavy loads. They correspond to the characteristics stated in the description by the manufacturer. Of course, if the transport is constantly exposed to heavy loads, over time it will be necessary to change the standard tires.

Tires and rims directly affect the driving performance of a vehicle. The main ones are as follows:

• controllability of the machine;
• car dynamics;
• fuel consumption.

In addition, wheels and tires are an important element of active safety.

Tuning and wheel sizes

The parameters, the external performance of the wheels, to some extent determine the general impression of the external appearance of the vehicle. By installing other components, you can change not only the appearance, but also the settings of the chassis of the car.

For many owners, it is the wheels that symbolize transport. With cute alloy models, it looks much more expressive and sleek. In addition, each time has its own preferences. At the moment, the fashion for huge "skating rinks" has been walking across our country for a long time.

As for the Hyundai Creta, there is exactly the same situation. Many owners of this car are looking for information on wheel and tire sizes. Many of them are already seriously thinking about tuning the iron horse. And the replacement of the disks is planned first. In addition, increasing the diameter is the easiest way to change the characteristics of the undercarriage and, as a result, the handling of the vehicle.

From the factory, the car is equipped with several types of wheels, depending on the model. But even the basic configuration does not imply the use of the simplest steel rims. Their place is taken by stylish sixteen-inch products. In the top versions, seventeen-inch titanium models are installed by default.

If you want to change your car and put wheels in 18 inches, you first need to make sure that they fit a specific car model. It is also worth checking to see if they will touch the metal body panels and wheel arch liners. Taking into account the year of manufacture, the configuration of the car, you can install wheels in 16, 17, 18 inches.

The choice of new disks and tires should be done with the utmost responsibility and knowledge of a number of parameters of these components. Products must be fully compatible with the vehicle and comply with the manufacturer's recommendations. The main parameters when choosing autodisks for Kreta are the number of holes for fasteners and the diameter of the circle of their location. These parameters must strictly correspond to those declared by the manufacturer.

Pressure

Tire pressures are standard. It corresponds to 2.3 + 0.07 kg / cm² for 16, 17 inch tires. However, despite the manufacturer's statements, these parameters are still worth checking before buying a vehicle. Otherwise, the ride course may change slightly - it may be either too hard, or there will be a feeling of a flat tire. The pressure is checked using a special tool - a pressure gauge.

Regardless of the vehicle configuration, tire pressure sensors are mounted in the car. The system works simply: inside the wheel there is a special electrical device that is connected to the receiver. The receiver itself is located on the dashboard.

Thus, if there are various pressure problems, the information will be displayed on the dashboard. This will be signaled by a small light. If it starts blinking, this indicates that the pressure is abnormal - it is either very low or high. Also, the lamp may indicate a sharp change in pressure - for example, when a wheel is punctured.

Standard sensors warn of problems with tire pressure mismatches. This is a very handy and useful feature. However, the manufacturers of Crete offer their consumers a more advanced solution - the "Super Vision" dashboard. With this option, the car owner will always know what is happening with his car in detail. Unlike the usual light bulb, the panel displays information about the pressure in each individual wheel at the moment.

Unfortunately, the sensor does not always work correctly. So, if the driver installs other wheels, in particular winter tires, the sensor, regardless of the pressure in the wheels, may constantly show an error. Unfortunately, you cannot completely disable the system. However, there are special ways to remove the ever-blinking sensor on the panel:

1. carefully replace the rubber so as not to disrupt the operation of the sensor during installation;
2. purchase inexpensive sensors for other wheels - the system, having detected them, should calm down.

Another option is to flash the control unit. However, it is worth carrying out such actions at official dealers or with the involvement of specialists who know a lot about this matter.

Hyundai Creta ("Creta" or sometimes "Greta") is a popular compact crossover launched in 2014, but for Russia the car was first presented only at the Moscow Motor Show 2016. Since then, more than 30 thousand of these cars have been sold in Russia , and many of those owners who love tuning, immediately thought about changing the rims. But the parameters of the "casting" can be different, so you need to know which wheels to buy.

Hyundai Greta is equipped with disks that are at least 16 inches in size. There are even cars with a wheel radius of R17. Which wheels are installed on this crossover depends on the configuration:

• Start and Active - stamped steel wheels with a radius of 16 inches with tires 205/65 R16;
• Comfort and Travel - 16-inch light-alloy wheels with 205/65 R16 tires and a full-size R16 spare wheel.

Note!

Alloy 17-inch wheels with 215/60 R17 tires are available only when ordering the Travel package together with the Style package for 75 thousand rubles. * In this case, the spare wheel will be R16.

Thus, the original disks for "Cretu" can be of 3 types:

• R16 stamped;
• R16 light alloy;
• R17 light alloy.

Each version of the car has its own wheel sizes, so it is recommended to take into account the basic parameters when tuning. This is about:

• diameter (R);
• bolt pattern (PCD);
• departure (ET).

The bolt parameter includes the following information:

• How many bolts are needed to secure the disc to the hub.
• What is the diameter of the circle on which the bolts are located?

For Hyundai, a bolt pattern of 5 by 114.3 is used.

Car lovers often do not attach importance to the departure, because, in principle, it does not in any way affect the movement of the car, especially when it comes to replacing disks with a specific model.

What is departure? This is the distance (in millimeters) from the center of the disc to the plane that the hub contacts.

Hyundai Creta car

The car brand in question has an offset for R16 - ET45, and for R17 - ET48.

Car enthusiasts are first of all ready to change the wheels of their crossover when tuning, so it is worth considering the above parameters. Particularly often the "stamping" changes, as the appearance of the wheels leaves much to be desired. On the "Crete" stamped discs come from the factory together with decorative caps, which somewhat improve the appearance of the car, but many owners still want to put on "casting". At the same time, drivers want to further improve the ride quality of their crossover, in which the wheels are far from the last.

There are common dimensions for all Hyundai castings. This applies to both R16 and R17 wheels. The central hole is 67.1 in diameter. Nuts M12 by 1.5 are used.

Native original discs on Hyundai Creta

Wheels for "Cretu" can be bought from an authorized dealer, as well as in car dealerships, but whether they will be original there is still a question.

Original alloy wheels for Hyundai Creta:

• Reliable. They are made using a durable material that is resistant to rust formation. If the paintwork is damaged, a film of oxides appears on the surface, which protects the aluminum alloy from corrosion. Reliability is guaranteed because the wheel is factory tested in several stages.
• Manufactured using modern technology. The metal is first prepared, only then a decorative coating is applied using nanotechnology, when the molecules themselves are evenly distributed over the surface. The layer is only one molecule thick, which improves the adhesion of varnish and paint coatings.
• They serve for a long time. Terms are measured in years. Discs can be used for 20 years. Sold with a lifetime warranty on the wheel and metal product. If you follow the rules for operating a car, then cracks and chips do not appear on the disks.
• They weigh little. Due to the light weight of the wheels, the car does not interfere with acceleration to high speeds, while the car is easier to drive, it drives smoothly.

The castings installed at the factory are popular with many Kreta owners, as they have a modern design with five bifurcated spokes. Usually, they change the "stamping" that goes by default in the first two trim levels for both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars.

Drive on Hyundai

There are also some car enthusiasts who want to get large "rollers", starting from 18 inches. You will not be able to order them from an authorized dealer, since such a size for "Cretu" is simply not provided by the manufacturer.

The owner of "Creta" who decides to install wheels with a radius of 18 inches or more on the car should understand that he will lose the warranty (if it is still valid), since changing spare parts to non-original ones is considered sufficient reason for the dealer not to repair the car under warranty claims.

As for the original wheels for the Hyundai Creta, you can buy one of four options. In this case, the kit will be either 16 or 17 inches. The appearance has several differences, the color is also different: silver and black-silver. But there are no fundamental differences, there are the same double knitting needles.

4 alloy wheel options (all black):

• "Platinum" 16 inches at a price of 5400 rubles.
• "Platinum" 17 inches at a price of 6150 rubles.
• "Diamond" 16 inches at a price of 5700 rubles.
• "Diamond" 17 inches at a price of 6400 rubles.

Parameters and sizes of autodisks on "Cretu"

For Hyundai Greta, the parameters of the disks may be different. Running sizes - R16 and R17.

R16

On Russian roads "Cretas" drive more often with wheels of exactly this size. If you want to change disks, you need to take into account several unchanged parameters:

• The razbotka - 5 to 114.3.
• Ride width is between 6.0 and 6.5 (in inches).
• Departure - between 45 and 48 (in millimeters).
• The center hole is 67.1 (in millimeters).

Original products are sold from dealers who represent the Korean company in Russia. Discs can be stamped or cast.

You can also buy discs at car dealerships, on websites, through advertisements. Only in this case there is no guarantee that the products will be original. There are especially many fakes from China, while outwardly they may look like the original, but have internal defects that will lead to a quick breakdown of the wheel.

Genuine products are sold in packaging and do not include mounting bolts. They need to be purchased separately. The packaging is a cardboard box of an indefinite shape. It has a blue label on it. The spare part number is also indicated.

On any original disc, a number is clearly visible, which makes it possible to understand the name of the manufacturer, as well as whether this wheel can be used for a particular car.

R16 disc

R17

This "casting" is more rare. Installed on those crossovers that are all-wheel drive.

Below are the main options for 17 "wheels for Hyundai:

• Replicas. This is the most popular option, which allows you to buy not only R16 wheels, but also R17 wheels. In this case, the departure will be either standard by 46 or 48, or increased by 51 or 54 millimeters. The cost is more than 5 thousand rubles per wheel.
• Products from renowned world manufacturers: "Tech", "Line", "Nitro". Cost - no more than 6 thousand rubles. a piece. At the same time, the quality corresponds to the price.
• Original. If the driver can afford not to save money, then you can order the Style package when buying a car. The disadvantage of this option is not only the high price, but also the fact that for the Start, Active and Comfort trim levels it is not possible to purchase a car with R17 wheels.
• Used wheels... The most dangerous option. Its only plus is that it will be possible to save a lot, but the disks can be deformed, so before buying them you need to check them very carefully for possible defects and wear.

How to choose the right alloy wheels for Hyundai Creta

It will not be difficult to select wheels for "Cretu", since the model is new, there is no variation in the parameters of the wheels, as is often the case with car brands that have changed more than one generation. However, when choosing a "casting", you still need to take into account several nuances:

• The product must have a quality certificate. All original alloy wheels are X-ray marked.
• You need to purchase either a complete set or a separate disc that exactly matches the parameters of the wheel that needs to be replaced. If discs of different diameter or offset are installed on the car, then the owner not only risks getting a fine, he may also get into an emergency.
• You need to buy products only from trusted and reliable sellers, otherwise there is a high probability of acquiring a fake of disgusting quality.
• It is necessary to pay attention to the maximum load for which the "casting" is designed.
• Better not to buy heavy discs. Heavy wheels have more unsprung masses, and this leads to additional stress on the suspension and a deterioration in the smoothness of the machine. Heavy weight has a negative effect on acceleration and braking performance.

After changing wheels, you need to take precautions to test drive the new discs in order to understand how the behavior of the car has changed.

Note!

It is more profitable to purchase 2 sets of wheels at once, so that later you do not spend money on seasonal "overfitting". In addition, it will be possible to preserve the good appearance of the disks for a longer time, because often in the process of changing the rubber they are scratched, which eventually leads to corrosion.

The most optimal options for "casting" on "Cretu":

• Trinity (R16) from K&K. Color - black with light stripes on each of the 5 spokes. Price - 4490 r.
• X-112 (R16) by X Trike. Design - 5 split needles with black stripes. Price - 3410 r.
• 642 (R16) from Neo. There are also 5 bifurcated jumpers, but their design is such that visually the wheel looks like a 10-spoke. Price - 4010 rubles.
• SH650 (R17) from NZ. Original design with curved needles. The discs look massive. Price - 4540 rubles.
• "Admiral" (R17) from the SKAD. Traditional 5-spoke design. There is only one color - silver. Price - 4840 r.

Choosing "casting" for your car, you need to take into account the size of the wheel and the value of the offset. When installing wheels, remember that rubber is purchased in accordance with the parameters of the disc. It is important to know that there is “stamping”, which is distinguished by reliability, high weight and unpresentable appearance, and light-alloy products, which often have an original design, low weight and a higher price compared to steel discs.

* All prices are valid for December 2018.

As one friend of mine, a friend of mine, says, disks in any car are 50% of its appearance.

I imagine it a little differently. Wheels for a car are like shoes for a person. Correctly selected and high quality footwear makes its owner stylish and fashionable. Just like car rims, they can significantly improve the ego's exterior, making it modern, fashionable and charismatic.

So what about the Korean crossover? Hyundai Creta wheels are either 16 inches or 17, stamped or cast - depending on the configuration and optional packages. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Hyundai Creta stamped discs are installed only on the simplest configurations - Start and Active. At their core, these are simple steel discs, which are made under the motto "if only it was". This "miracle" looks like this:

Immediately from the factory, plastic caps are placed on the steel wheels of the Hyundai Creta so that it all looks somehow appropriate. These discs are 16 "in diameter and painted in traditional black.

By the way, black discs visually reduce their size.

Steel wheels Hyundai Creta 16 ″ price

Many are interested in how much steel wheels cost on Hyundai Creta. Let's figure it out. First, let's try to find the original disc through the spare parts catalogs. For this we will use the free catalog elcats.ru. To do this, you only need to register on the site. But that's not a problem, is it? We enter the catalog, select the required car and find the CHASSIS section. In this section we are interested in the group [50-529] WHEEL AND WHEEL CAP. This is how it all looks:

We select on the diagram what we are interested in and see the article. For 16 "it will be 52910-M0000, and for 17" it will be 52910-M0050.

For these articles, you can order the original steel wheel rim on the Hyundai Creta. To upgrade the disk, you can go to any online spare parts store that you have in your city. We will have it Exist. We enter the article into the search and see the price of the spare part under this number. In our case, a 16 ″ disk will cost 5912 rubles with delivery in 8 days, and for 17 ″ - 5459 rubles with delivery in 6 days.

Naturally, the price for these discs is too high, since this is the original. But if you really need to buy, for example, one such disc, then it is quite possible.

If you are not a supporter of original spare parts or are simply not ready to pay exorbitant prices for them, then you can pick up steel wheels in specialized stores. In our city it is Siberia Wheel. We go to their website and enter the parameters of our car. And we see the following list of suitable disks:

In fact, there were more of them - about 10 options, but they all have a similar appearance and do not differ much in price, so we will not touch on them in our article.

In terms of prices, the cheapest steel disc in this online store costs 1,580 rubles. per piece, and the most expensive - 2200 rubles. The colors are black and silver. The main difference is in the manufacturer and the quality of the product. Higher quality steel is usually used in expensive discs. The quality of the painting also plays an important role.

Alloy wheels Hyundai Kreta, or as they are also called light-alloy marketers, look more presentable than steel. But the price of such discs is much higher. From the factory, alloy wheels on the Hyundai Creta are supplied in two trim levels - Comfort and Travel. These are 16 ″ alloy wheels. Alloy wheels are also available in the optional Style package. In this case, the car will already be equipped with 17 ″ discs.

The price of alloy wheels for Hyundai Creta

As in the case of stamped ones, alloy wheels can be bought both original and analogs. The main thing is to choose the right size of the disks. In the first case, we can use either the services of a dealer and order "casting" from him. Or buy discs on the Internet yourself. To purchase through online stores, you can use the articles:

52910-M0100 - 16 ″ disk
52910-M0200 - 17 ″ disk

True, the price for the disc will not please you - from 20 to 36 thousand for one piece. In this case, it is possible to use a regular online store selling tires and wheels and order a ready-made kit and keep within exactly the same amount of money.

The cheapest "casting" in SiberiaKoles will cost 2360 rubles per disc, and the most expensive - 9400 rubles / piece.

Hyundai Creta wheel size

Probably, this paragraph should have started our article, but I got so carried away by studying online stores that I completely forgot about it. Of course, the size of the Hyundai Creta wheels is one of the important points to consider when choosing and buying wheels.

As I wrote above, the parameters of the disks depend on the equipment of the car. The Start and Active trims have 16 "stamped wheels, while the Comfort and Travel trims have 16" light-alloy wheels. 17 "wheels are also available, but only in the Style Pack.

Thus, “ex-factory” Cretu can be found on disks of the following sizes:
- R16 steel;
- R16 light alloy;
- R17 light alloy.

In addition to the size of the disc itself, when replacing wheels, other parameters should be taken into account, such as drilling, overhang, disc width and DCO. Let's take a closer look at them.

Drilling. This is the number of holes and the distance between them. Crete has five holes for mounting bolts, and the drilling itself is 5x114.3.

The overhang of the disc is the distance from the hub to the surface of the disc. In other words, this is the value of the disc offset away from the hub. For Creta, it is ET45 for 16-inch wheels and ET48 for 17-inch wheels.

The disc width of the Hyundai Cret is between 6.0 and 6.5J.

And finally, the DPC (diameter of the central hole) is 67.1 mm.

Thus, the standard wheel rim on the Hyundai Creta must meet the parameters:

R16 / 5х114.3 / ET45 / 6.0J / 67.1
R17 / 5х114.3 / ET48 / 6.5J / 67.1

As you can see, the most important parameters are radius, RPC and drill. The width and offset of the disc can be changed up or down.

We have already written about the price and parameters of the original rims on the Hyundai Creta. For now, let's just leave a photo here so that you understand how it all looks in reality.

The most optimal options for alloy wheels on Hyundai Cretu:

K&K Spider Dark Platinum R16. Color - dark, 10 spokes. Price 4950 r.

X-trike X-116 BK / FP 27461 R16. Black base color and white stripes on the needles. Only 5 split needles with white stripes. Price - 4500 r.

NZ SH665 BKF R16. Original design with curved needles. The discs look aggressive and stylish .. Price 5050 p. per disk.

Of course, these are just the main options that only I liked. However, my taste may differ from yours, so make your own choice. The main thing is not to forget to take into account the required and recommended sizes of Hyundai Creta wheels. All the world and see you soon on our website!

If you have a question about what the Hyundai Creta wheel consists of, then it includes the following components: disc, hub, rim and tire. Which of these elements are unconditionally suitable for this brand and which have varieties, we will understand in more detail.

The release of the South Korean crossover Hyundai Creta began back in 2014. During this time, he went through several modifications. Different versions of the car are equipped with their own standard wheels, which are divided into several types - in size and design.

Want to know what kind of rubber is on the Hyundai Creta? Let's take a look at its characteristics. Like all cars, tires can be divided into two types according to the season - winter and summer.

Tires are an important safety feature of your vehicle. During production, they undergo various tests, so they are suitable for operation even under severe loads. They also affect dynamics and fuel consumption.

Hyundai tires are equipped with pressure sensors, so you should be careful when choosing a tire workshop, as an inexperienced worker can simply break the device, and a new one is expensive. Standard rates: 2.3 + 0.07 kg / cm² (33 + 1.0psi). If there are any problems with the pressure, this will be indicated by a light on the dashboard.

On the forums, you can often find information about its breakdown - that is, it blinks for no good reason or will not react at all. The installation of new rubber by an inexperienced technician can lead to this. If the package also includes the "Super Vision" panel, then the screen will display information about the state of pressure in each wheel.

Winter tires for Hyundai Creta: which one to choose?

The choice of the appropriate option depends on how the car will behave in winter on snowy roads.

You should approach this with all responsibility and make a purchase in advance. Consider the following guidelines when browsing.

If you are thinking about what summer tires are suitable for buying Hyundai Creta, then most drivers prefer wide tires so that there is more contact between the wheel and the road surface.

When choosing a winter tire, you cannot be guided by this method, it is better to follow the manufacturer's requirements. When preparing for the winter period, it is necessary to take into account the operating conditions of the car and the climatic features of the region. Rubber is divided into three categories.

1. Studded... The second name for tires is Scandinavian. Suitable for almost all regions of the Russian Federation, even for icy tracks. The right choice for newbies. Disadvantages - high noise level. If you drive at high speed, spikes can fly out of the seats, which will damage the wheel arch liners or even damage the cars behind.
2. Studded(frictional). This type of tire is used for especially snowy areas. They have softer rubber and deeper tread than the previous version. But they give poor handling on icy roads.
3. Frictional for mild winters... They have a special material composition and tread pattern, which allows you to ride comfortably through puddles and snow slush. They can be supplied for dry and wet asphalt, but not for ice and extreme frost (-15 ° C maximum).

Also, tires are classified according to the tread pattern.

1. Classical. They are considered universal, therefore they are often included in the number of regular ones.
2. Directed. This is the most common pattern among foreign cars. Well repels water and self-cleans from snow.
3. Asymmetric. Also one of the topical. The above characteristics are slightly lower, but with such tires the car enters corners more confidently.
4. Deep. This is an off-road option for an all-wheel drive modification. Has increased noise and not the best handling.

Prices for tires for Hyundai Creta range from 4 to 12 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer.

Selecting disks

If the owner wants to tune his car, then the first thing that he changes (in most cases) is the rims. In the basic configuration of the Start and Active cars, standard stamped 16-inch wheels are installed. But some owners immediately replace them due to the visual component or an increase in their diameter.

What discs are on the Hyundai Creta?

If you are thinking about this purchase, you need to know the correct parameters in order not to make the wrong choice. The official price list contains the following parameters with prices, which wheels are suitable for Hyundai Creta:

• stamped wheels with 205/65 R16 tires;
• light-alloy wheels with 205/65 R16 tires;
• light-alloy 17 inches with tires 215/60 R17.

For a 16-inch size, 215/65 R16 tires can also fit.

The dimensions of the discs consist of the following characteristics.

1. Are common:

• PCD (drilled hole) 5 × 114.3;
• DIA (center hole diameter) - 67.1 mm;
• nut - М12 × 5.

1. 16-inch - J5x16 ET45, where:

• D (diameter) 16.
• J (width) 6.5.
• ET (departure) 45.

1. 17 '' - J 6.5x D 17 ET48.

Also, the size can be designated as follows: 6.0Jx16 and 6.5Jx17.

The above parameters will help you choose the right drives for Greta. If you want to purchase 18-inch equipment, you will need to first check if the wheels will come into contact with metal body parts or wheel arches. In such products, there must be only five mounting holes.

How are Hyundai Creta wheels attached: replacing a punctured wheel?

To repair a punctured Hyundai Creta wheel, especially if it is practically new, you need to contact a tire company. If it is not close, it is better not to risk it and put a spare tire. If you decide to drive with a punctured wheel, then only increase the damage to the disc and hub. When replacing a spare wheel, a jack is required.

After performing several such operations (although we hope that you will rarely encounter this problem), you will gain the necessary experience, and you will not have to spend more than 10-15 minutes on replacement. Additional time can only be spent on unloading the filling of the luggage compartment in search of a spare tire.

It is prohibited to carry out work on the traffic lane. Drive onto a level and solid area outside the road. In the absence of such, it is better to call a tow truck. You need to start the process by turning on the alarm.

The spare wheel for Hyundai Creta is stamped. It is located under the luggage compartment lid along with compactly equipped tools that are intended for emergency use only.

They consist of:

• manual screw jack with a special groove;
• handles to it;
• towing hook;
• wheel nut spanner.

Be prepared for the fact that even in the maximum configuration, they may not put a full-size spare wheel. That is, the standard size is R17 (Diamont alloy wheel), and the find in the trunk is R16.

To get the spare wheel, you need to release it from the retainer located in the center. To do this, rotate the wing hold-down bolt counterclockwise. When you put the spare tire back in place, screw it in the opposite direction. Try to keep all parts in their places to avoid rattling.

The jack is installed in specially designated places at the bottom of the body, otherwise the sealing molding may be damaged. The rib of the car body must fall into the special groove of the jack. Place the tool vertically on a firm, horizontal surface. There is a special eyelet for the handle. Use the handle carefully as it is easy to injure yourself on the edges.

When operating a jack, apply the parking brake and stop the engine. If you have a mechanic, shift the lever to neutral. In the automatic box, this should be the "P" ("Parking") position. Do not climb under the car if a jack is used. During operation, all passengers must leave the vehicle.

The detailed process looks like this.

1. Block the wheel diagonally and the wheel against the item being replaced.
2. Loosen the metric fastening nuts with a wrench, but not completely.
3. Jack up, insert the handle and rotate clockwise until the wheel is no longer touching the ground. The machine must stand firmly in this position.
4. Unscrew the nuts by hand and remove the wheel from the studs. Remove dirt from all elements of the process.
5. Place the spare wheel on the hub stud.
6. Tighten the nuts by hand so that the tapered end faces the wheel.
7. Lower the machine to the ground by rotating the jack handle the other way.
8. Tighten the nuts with a wrench.
9. If there is a pressure gauge, check the tire pressure. If not, be sure to do it upon arrival to a specialist.

There is a warning sticker on the spare wheel - the speed of the car during its operation should not exceed 80 km / h. Almost any damage can be reanimated and further use these tires after balancing the assembled wheel.

How to re-seat a wheel on the road?

Knowledge in this area will be needed if a wheel has punctured along the way, but there is no spare wheel, and there is also a tire service nearby. If the puncture is less than 5 mm, then the wheel can be repaired without removing it from the rim. This should be done as quickly as possible, while the pressure is holding. There are special repair kits for this.

For larger holes, separate the tire from the rim and work from the inside. Often times, the tire sticks to the wheel during use. How much depends on time, rubber composition and rim design. It is especially difficult if it is intended for a tubeless tire. Separating them from each other is difficult even in a workshop. But this problem can overtake you on the way, and often the driver does not have a special tool for repair. Some use their weight by standing on a recumbent wheel, but this rarely works. There are several other effective ways.

1. Lay a board on the tire and ride on it in a car. But this method is very doubtful, since it is not particularly possible to drive on three wheels, and if you have a spare tire, is it not better to get to a tire workshop?
2. Impact disassembly with the participation of a sledgehammer and a piece of metal corner (or spring). There is a risk of damaging both the tire and the disc. Therefore, it is better to use safer methods.
3. The use of a jack and other auxiliary devices: a mounting paddle, strap, open-end wrench, rope, etc.

Before starting work, spray the materials with a penetrating liquid (for example, WD-40 or Unisma) to help the rubber separate from the rim.

With all this knowledge, you can easily select the necessary option for your car, as well as carry out its repair in a timely manner, even in the absence of comfortable working conditions.

Anyone knows that wheels are designed not only for the movement of the car, but also for its stylistic addition in order to create a strict appearance. The Hyundai Kreta is a Korean crossover that is suitable for urban and off-road driving, so a stylish and functional look is considered an important component.

The car stands out among the total mass of proposals for its technical features and the ability to complement the appearance with the help of non-standard wheels, moldings and similar decorative and functional elements.

The main types of discs for a car

As a standard, the Hyundai Creta car is supplemented with standard 16-radius discs. Many owners do not change the base radius, believing that the replacement only negatively affects the technical properties of the car. In fact, this is a real myth, because if you carefully choose a tire, it will only improve the ergonomic properties of the car. When choosing, it is worth considering the following technical parameters of the standard version, so as not to encounter inconveniences during further use:

• Razboltovka - 5 * 114.3.
• Width in the range of 6.0-6.5J.
• Departure 45-48 points ET.
• Centering hole 67.1.

If original discs are purchased, then they must be in a cardboard factory box with the appropriate marking. In the absence of such nuances, there is a likelihood of acquiring a low-quality fake, which will not provide convenience when operating a car. It is better to trust professional stores that guarantee the authenticity and perfect technical qualities of the products offered.

Discs 17 radius - this is a relatively abnormal option, but the quality guarantees driving comfort. When choosing, it is important to take into account the following parameters that the wheels must correspond to:

• Razboltovaya discs 17 - 5 * 114.3.
• Working reach - ЕТ45-48.
• The size of the hub is 67.1.

As a rule, this type of disc is provided by manufacturers in a complete set of a car with all-wheel drive (4 × 4), so each buyer of this option can count on the possibility of comfortable installation of both standard and wide-profile tires.

Wide-format R17 alloy wheels on Hyundai Kreta are distinguished by their strength, technical durability and reliability. Durability combined with attractiveness are another couple of benefits. When choosing, it is worth considering the following recommendations in order to exclude the purchase of a low-quality product:

• You can purchase alloy wheels not only from the original manufacturer, but also from other companies, namely Tech Line, Skad, Nitro. The combination of favorable cost and quality allows you not to feel the difference when using the car.
• If there is no need for savings, then you can consider discs from Mak, Oz, Borbet, Enkei. The use of high-quality raw materials eliminates technical inconveniences during operation.
• In addition to the original discs, high quality replicas are provided. These are kind of analogs, created using the same technology and from the same raw materials, but with additional components, which is not reflected in the technical parameters in any way.

Important! Non-standard disks can be used for summer tires, but for winter tires, experts recommend only standard models in order to avoid inconvenience when driving in difficult road conditions.

Technical specifications

• The looseness of the disks is a parameter that determines the main technical parameters of the bolts used to equip the disks. The information allows you to select the correct replacement bolts.
• Reach is a measure of the distance between the attachment surface to the vehicle hub. In fact, this is the size of the inner rim.
• The center hole is a measure of the diameter of the main mounting hole to be able to choose the most suitable option for mounting.
• Diameter is a radius that tells about the size of the disc to fit perfectly with the wheel.
• Width is a geometric measure that must be adhered to in order to properly mount the disc in the tire.

Wheel sizes for Hyundai Creta

Wheel sizes play an important role in the functioning of the car and its style. Manufacturers provide different models, so it is important to pay attention to all the accompanying features.

Wheel parameters that are considered universal for all modifications of the Hyundai Creta car:

• 0 "- 17.0" are standard disc diameters.
• 0 "- 6.5" are standard widths.
• 48-50 (mm) - disc height options.
• 5х114.3 (mm) - product drilling.

Important! Discs must be suitable for the tire size. A deviation from the established norm is allowed from 3% to 6%. These are the minimum and maximum possible indicators, which it is important to adhere to in order to avoid technical inconveniences.

It is important to take into account the factory parameters of the wheels for Hyundai Creta, in order to know what to focus on when choosing:

Disc selection criteria

It is necessary to select discs for a vehicle taking into account absolutely all technical parameters. In addition, it is important to select products in terms of reach and size, as well as bolt pattern (drilling).

• You can use classic stamped or cast 205/65 R16. This is an abbreviation for the 6.5 * 16ET45 marking. This is an indicator of the radius of the disc, its width and offset. Detailed consideration allows you to get the appropriate technical advice when choosing.
• Die-cast models such as 205/65 R17 are suitable. 6.5 * 17 ET48 is the marking of the product, where the rim is 17. And also the radius of the disc and the indicators of its departure are presented here.

But when choosing, it is important to take into account the general parameters on which the technical side of the disc depends. Namely:

• drilling (PCD) must be 5 * 114.3;
• centering hole - 67.1 mm;
• M12 * 1.5 are indicators for fastening nuts.

It is necessary to select the diameters of the mounting holes, making it much easier to cope with the installation of disks into tires. It is important to choose the right wheels in accordance with this parameter, since this is the only way to count on the quality, practicality, reliability and ease of mounting tires. Additionally, you can look at the photo on the Internet to understand how the discs should look like.

For Hyundai Creta cars, the standard drilling parameter is 5 * 114.3. This parameter must be taken into account when choosing new fastening bolts in order to avoid any difficulties when using the car.

As a result, it should be said that if the motorist appreciates the refinement of the car and wants to "pump" his Hyundai Creta, then you can pick up non-standard bolts. But at the same time, it is important to take into account the technical parameters of the car and the general recommendations of the manufacturers in order to avoid inconvenience when driving.
