The choice of discs and tires on the UAZ 469 is the most important factor affecting the comfort and safety of the ride. In general, the wheels for such SUVs do not differ in any way. design features and similar to other brands domestic cars. Consider the main parameters of the rims UAZ 469, 31512, 31514, 31519, 3153, Bars, Hunter.
The standard indicators for mounting disks are as follows:
Reaming 5 * 139.7, where 5 is the number of holes on a diameter of 139.7 mm.
DIA must be at least standard (108 mm), otherwise the wheel will not be able to fit on the hub.
When choosing tires and wheels for tuning the UAZ 469, it is important to consider the following:
The tire width must be matched to the width of the disc, as a rule, the tire manufacturer indicates this information on the tire itself, accompanied by the inscription: "recommend size for disc 15/8".
The offset of the disk is selected in such a way that the wheel does not come into contact with the body elements and the transmission of the car during the articulation of the suspension, as well as the extreme positions of the steering wheel.
Let's take a closer look at the wheel sizes for UAZ Hunter, 469.
1. Regular wheels:
215/90R15; 225/70R16
If global alterations are not planned on the car, but you just want to get away from regular disks to more reliable ones, then in the line of ODS discs there are the following sizes:
Wheels fit:
235/75R15; 245/70R16; 30/9.5R15

2. To increase the wheels to 31-32 inches, it is necessary to install a minimum suspension or body lift, change the offset of the off-road disk for the UAZ Hunter in the negative direction:
31x10.5 R15; 245/75R16; 255/70R15; 255/70R16
The pivot angle of the UAZ Hunter is designed only for a standard reach, the use of a negative reach will lead to rapid wear of the pivots. However, uazovods often use old-style kingpins on bushings or kingpins and liners from the Altai company Vaksoil, which allow them to cope with the indicated loads.

3. The next stage is the installation of a body lift 2 inches and above, the transition to 33-inch wheels.
Off-road wheels for UAZ Hunter:
265/75R16; 33/10.5 R15; 285/75 R16; 33/12.5 R15
At this stage, many Hunter owners stop, the car copes with the tasks of hunting, fishing and expeditions - where not only not a single puzater will reach, but also the owner of the same pepelats, only not prepared.

4. Further tuning - building 469 for specific off-road tasks. To install 35 rubber, it is necessary to carry out a number of works, in particular: a body lift from 5 cm, a suspension lift, usually 6 cm front suspension, 6-8 cm rear suspension. For such customers, there are many types, sizes of rubber, we will focus only on off road wheels on UAZ.
Absolutely no one will argue that UAZ is on big wheels looks much more impressive than its counterpart in the factory version. In addition, the glory of not very reliable cars has long been assigned to Ulyanovsk off-road vehicles, but this is more than offset by the significant cheapness of spare parts and components. But the integration of larger-diameter discs is always combined with multifaceted tuning that can transform the already essential functionality of this car.
It is especially popular among fans of off-road conquest. To implement this on our own, first of all, it is required to integrate spacers between the body and the frame, which can be implemented, for example, with hockey pucks, which are installed on all 12 fastening bolts, 2 pieces per bolt.
It will also be necessary to replace the spring earrings with longer counterparts from the Gazelle. The installation process itself is quite simple and does not take too much time, and it will also allow you to introduce the 35th wheels without any problems. These installations will increase the jeep's clearance by 10 cm, and this will lead to an improvement in the vehicle's cross-country ability and the security of its many structural components.
Of course, the idea of integrating washers is absolutely not new, and it can be applied to any car. However, in addition to these elements, there are branded imported body lift kits on the market, which are estimated at around $200. Many may say that throwing such money down the drain does not make sense, but this is not entirely true. Factory kits are made of special plastic, undergo mandatory certification and testing, they are resistant to heat, shock and vibration, but nothing specific can be said about the washers. In any case, the choice remains with the car owner himself.
In general, the UAZ suspension lift has positive and negative sides. The main advantage of this refinement is the possibility of improving the geometric cross-country ability of the SUV and installation rims larger diameter. However, in this case, an increase in the angles of the cardan crosses occurs, which begin to work for a break, so one suspension lift cannot be limited.
For the implementation of the UAZ SUV on large wheels, there are several options for lifting the suspension. The simplest of them are the above method with the integration of longer spring earrings, various spacers, as well as the possibility of springing the springs. In the first option, it is necessary not to overdo it with the length of the earrings, as this can lead to a deterioration in handling and a change in the operation of the suspension for the worse.
Production: Martorelli S.R.I.
Release start: 1973
For the first time, citizens of the former Soviet republics learned about the connection Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant with the Italian surname Martorelli in 1975. Then information appeared on the pages of the Soviet press about the "469s" participating in the international run across the Sahara, which was organized by the same Martorelli family to attract the attention of other Italians to the outlandish SUVs of the Land of the Soviets.
In addition, UAZs began to be equipped with foreign power units(they were installed in Ulyanovsk). In total, there were four models in the Martorelli line, of which the most affordable car was considered UAZ-Explorer with native gasoline UMZ-451M (2,500 cm3, 75 hp). The rest are UAZ-Marathon with a Peugeot XD2 diesel (2,500 cm3, 76 hp), UAZ-Dakar with a Vittorio Martorelli VM turbodiesel (2,400 cm3, 100 hp), UAZ-Racing with gasoline engine FIAT (2,000 cm3, 112 hp) - were much more expensive.
Over 26 years of fruitful cooperation between the enterprising Martorelli brothers and the Ulyanovsk plant in Southern Europe, more than 6.6 thousand modified UAZs were sold, some of which were brought to Russia in the early 90s as foreign-made products.
UAZ-3907 "Jaguar"
Production: UAZ.
Display: 1983
The UAZ-3907 Jaguar amphibious vehicle, created on the basis of the 469 model, awarded the state award in 1983, amazed the imagination during tests conducted since 1980. He was able to move through the water at a speed of 8-10 km / h, swim with twenty-one people on board (according to the design, the cabin was designed for seven), turn on the water without a water rudder (using the front wheels), move on land at a speed 100 km / h, work at temperatures with a huge range (from +45 ° to -47 °), tow a trailer weighing up to 0.75 tons ... And despite the increased mass, have excellent cross-country ability due to the flat bottom. With all this, the Jaguar looked like an ordinary car. off-road, and not a mixture of a motor boat with a representative of a wheeled dynasty.
Since 1986, under a separate agreement with the KGB for the border guards, the development of a modification was started with the installation of six pairs of skis, which during the tests also showed excellent results. Sad in this whole story was only the end. In 1990, due to the lack of promised funding, the project was curtailed. In total, 14 unique amphibians were born.

UAZ-31512 TRUCK LLD
Production:"LLD-auto", Moscow.
Release start: 1994
In 1993, visitors to the Moscow International Motor Show saw cars that were immediately dubbed "Russian Martorelli". These were UAZ-31512s, trained at the first private car factory in Russia, organized by the Larin brothers and their friends. The level of work done, as a result of which the Ulyanovsk "all-terrain vehicles" noticeably changed, was at its best, moreover, the bulk of all the materials used were of domestic production.
However, the model of the same company, which was presented a year later at the same place, attracted more interest. We are talking about a four-seat pickup truck UAZ-31512 TRUCK LLD. Its creators had to do the following: increase the base of an ordinary UAZ by 650 mm, build up side panels in the rear part, add one root sheet to the rear spring packages, and make the back wall of the cab vertical (made of plastic).
The result is an attractive pickup truck with a 2 + 2 landing formula (as indicated by the manufacturer) and a cargo platform 1.7 meters long, capable of accommodating 2.5 cubic meters of cargo. Unfortunately, everything related to the brakes, chassis components and assemblies was not changed or replaced with a more suitable one, although this was possible. The reason for such a strange step was the high cost of cars due to the fact that initially UAZs were not purchased at the plant in Ulyanovsk itself, but from ordinary dealers, who were able to increase the price well.
During the peak period (1994-1995), the LLD-auto enterprise produced up to 40 cars per month, but in the second half of the 90s, the demand for modified UAZs began to fall sharply, and eventually the first private automobile plant ceased to exist.
ShZSA-3939
Manufacturer: JSC "SHZSA", Shumerlya (Chuvashia).
Release start: 1994
With the transition to a market economy, the newly formed states were swept by a wave of crime. Organized gangs were haunted by the cash flows of individuals, companies and enterprises. Raids on places where a large amount of cash accumulated by a certain time became more frequent. But attacks on cash collectors, who at that time still had ordinary cars, were especially popular. This situation could not last long - specialized vehicles equipped with armor were required.
The first attempt to create an armored car on your own carried out by the Shumerlinsky plant of special vehicles, presenting the model 3939 to the public. The basis for the armored car was the UAZ 31512, which, together with the "body plant", made clothes designed to protect valuable contents. The body was redrawn from beginning to end, with UAZ it is related only by the bevel of the lower part on the driver's door.
Contrary to the beliefs of many, only the cargo-passenger compartment was made of high-strength armored steel in ShZSA-3939, and not the entire car. The hood, stylized as armor, was made in order to scare away lovers of easy money from afar.
There is little information about ShZSA-3939. It is known that production continued in the second half of the nineties, most of the cars produced have already gone out of use and are "laid up" in the yards. Some copies were converted into combat vehicles for military operations in Chechnya, and anyone can see the armored car with their own eyes - it stands as a monument in front of the building of the Rosinkas association in Volgograd.
NAMI - UAZ 469 "Huntsman"
Production: NAMI, Moscow.
Display: 1998
What can be more passable than UAZ? Only UAZ on tires low pressure! After all, as you know, large and soft wheels provide maximum grip on the surface. "Huntsman" - this is one of the many versions of the UAZ with such a chassis.
Its design was based on the serial UAZ 469 with enlarged wheel arches, additional sills and gear tires with ultra-low pressure produced by NPF TREKOL, slightly modified by NAMI. The Ulyanovsk SUV was chosen for the role of the main donor for a reason.
The design of its chassis required the least refinement, and this saves time and money. A year later, the all-terrain vehicle, prepared for driving on soft ground, wetlands, virgin snow, as well as overcoming water obstacles by swimming, was shown to the public. And a year later, NPF TREKOL presented an independent, but very similar development in this area - TREKOL 39041, which is also based on a serial UAZ. The production of the machine continues to this day.
UAZ-3159 "Bars"
Production: UAZ.
Release start: 1999
"Land Rover has become expensive and prestigious, Gelendevagen too. And why is the UAZ worse?" - they thought at the factory and made a long-wheelbase modification of the UAZ-3153. A little later, his "luxury" modification appeared - "Bars".
In order to make a competitive car out of the new model, the stretched body was endowed with plastic lining, steps were installed under the thresholds, the windows were made movable, the back door was hinged, a sunroof was cut into the roof ... and these are just visible changes.
Under the hood was installed a 16-valve engine of a new generation - ZMZ-409 with electronic fuel injection. Due to the use of gear axles, combined with the front spring and rear leaf spring suspension, it was possible to increase by 80 mm ground clearance and 165 mm gauge. In addition, the UAZ was equipped with a power steering and five-speed gearbox gears.
The only thing that spoiled the whole thing was the interior, which, despite attempts to ennoble it, remained terrible (hard molded plastic, fabric upholstery of door panels, etc.). In addition, the details constantly fell off. It was not possible to grow "Gelik" out of UAZ. In the nine years that "Bars" was in the production program of the Ulyanovsk plant, only 10 thousand long-base copies found their owners.
UAZ-3150 "Naughty"
Production: UAZ.
Display: 1999
Although "Naughty" did not become serial, he managed to light up in one of the unofficial modifications for the game GTA: San Andreas
If there is a long wheelbase version, then there must be a short wheelbase one! If you try to please customers who are hungry for solidity, then you can try to "get through" to the youth ... Obviously, UAZ was guided by this logic.
"Naughty" is an open "sports and entertainment" version of the UAZ-31512 with a base reduced by 380 mm, equipped with powerful chrome-plated safety arches, an easily removable awning and four comfortable chairs. It was proposed to install two engines under its hood: UMZ-4213.10 (2.9 liters) and ZMZ-409 (2.7 liters), capable of giving the car good dynamics (compared to serial models).
However, getting rid of extra centimeters and kilograms had a positive effect not only on top speed and acceleration time, as a result of these changes, the SUV has improved maneuverability and patency. Along with the civilian version, an army version was presented, the bottom and engine of which were covered with armor plates.
Alas, at the time of the premiere, the consumer market was not ready for the emergence of a domestic competitor American Jeep Wrangler, which, in principle, is not very popular in Russia. In total, six copies of the shortened open-top UAZ were assembled, five of which were sold.
Scorpio-1
Production: Corporation "Protection".
Release start: 2003
The fact that the UAZ 469 was developed first of all for the army has never been a secret. For many years, this car was the main command transport in the USSR, and then the entire post-Soviet space. To say that the car is outdated is to say nothing.
However, to make serious design changes on a production scale is not so easy - it takes years and considerable investment. As a result, smaller enterprises began to fuss, among which was the Zashchita corporation with its Scorpion-1 project. Taking a cursory glance at their car, they fail to see something strange - an ordinary UAZ 31512, perhaps a three-door one. And after looking...
In order to solve the problem of lack of free space, the body of the SUV was expanded by cutting along and welding in a 270 mm insert. Worked on the "bars bridges" in order to increase the gauge. got rid of rear doors, but widened the front. The result was a unique vehicle that surpasses the serial UAZ in terms of the possibility of retrofitting (hidden armor, installation of large-caliber rifle automatic guns) without loss of space for personnel.
It is difficult to verify the veracity of this, although the likelihood that such a test could have taken place and the UAZ showed good results still exists. But even so, the track has been and will continue to be more effective than any wheel (with the exception of wheels with low pressure) in conditions and harsh climates.
Associate Professor of the Department of Automobiles and Tractors of the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University A. Anikin, who in 2003 created the Ukhtysh snow and swamp vehicle on caterpillars, was well aware of this.
The design is a sealed steel case with UAZ units, on which a body was installed, cut along just below the break line of the body panels. Salon visually remained unchanged except for the horned steering wheel in place of the steering wheel.
The Ukhtysh did not become a mass production, but the design was generally recognized as very successful and successful, and for several more years the car was assembled at the All-Terrain Vehicles Plant and sold at a price of under 1 million rubles.
The result was an all-terrain vehicle for the transfer of personnel, whose upper component not only adorned the most massive Soviet all-wheel drive truck, but also allowed people sitting inside to feel much more comfortable than in an onboard body.
MO. Chekhov region.

This is far from the first all-terrain vehicle from the VECTOR4X4 company, but one of the few in which UAZ roots are easily guessed.
rover" Vector U-469"created on the basis of the UAZ Hunter car
However, they did not just put "big" wheels on him, they "conjured" him a little
To keep the pedal assembly unchanged, I had to front axle move forward, and to save the rear doors, rear axle move back. As a result, the wheelbase increased by 600mm (but now the angle of entry has become generally negative)
New mounts
The frame of the car was lengthened and strengthened.
To install large wheels, a body lift was required, with spacers, 60mm
The choice of tires was determined by the purpose of the snow and swamp vehicle - it will have to drive on the roads of Yakutia. Tundra, swamps are his element.
Accordingly, the all-terrain vehicle must float.
buoyancy and provide huge tires. Plus, in rims. buoyancy blocks are located. This allows you to have less draft on the water and protects the discs from excessive dirt.
Wheels 21" own production, equipped with beadlocks.
To cover such big wheels made new wheel arches
From the inside, they are reinforced with a square profile, so that you can walk on them.
For operation in Yakutia, work was carried out to warm the car. The ceiling, doors and floor are covered with heat-insulating materials. Double glazing was not made, this was the wish of the customer.
Work was carried out to treat the bottom and interior of the car with anti-corrosion compounds.
Front mounted power bumper RIF company. An additional LED light is mounted on the bumper.
The electric winch Come Up 9500 in a sealed design is placed in the regular place of the power bumper
Power thresholds manufactured by RIF are installed on the sides
To them, for the convenience of getting into a high cabin, special steps are welded
Since the frame of the all-terrain vehicle has become longer, a cargo platform has turned out at the back. It makes it easier to load a tall vehicle.
The hinged hunter's door remained unchanged.
Inside the standard 5 seats.
Under rear seats a compressor station based on Berkut-24 was located
A compressor station is needed for the wheel inflation system and for controlling pneumatic locks.
The main "highlight" of the all-terrain vehicle are the original wheel gears with a reduction of 2.8.
The reducers are serially manufactured by the Vector4x4 company itself and are designed for installation on UAZ, TOYOTA, NISSAN, JEEP vehicles, with ultra-low pressure tires up to 1600 mm in size or extreme mud tires (bogger, simex) up to 44 inches.
Gear housing, duralumin alloy D16T, gears from agricultural machinery, carefully screened, half shafts of the original design.
The reducers have an input for the pneumatic line for pumping wheels.
Wheel inflation control is centralized. Directly from the cab, you can adjust the pressure from 0.1 atm for movement in swampy areas and up to 1.2 atm for movement on public roads.
Pneumatic lines:
Disc brakes are installed front and rear.
The locks are also controlled from the cab. Indicators for enabling locks are displayed on the dashboard
Herself dashboard remained virtually unchanged
Steering of the snow and swamp vehicle with hydraulic booster.
The steering column is reinforced.
The 5-speed standard gearbox, GP and RCP also remained unchanged.
Only cardan shafts, due to the elongated base of the car had to be redone. They were lengthened, diameter increased and re-balanced.
Under the hood of the all-terrain vehicle, everything is standard
Gasoline engine ZMZ-409
The engine compartment is covered on the sides with special mudguards. This protects against the ingress of dirt.
The all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a hunting hatch.
In order to feel for yourself what it is to control an all-terrain vehicle, we went to the open spaces of the NATI training ground.
There are ascents, descents, snowdrifts and ravines.
Need to say. that the Vector U-469 is controlled easily, like a regular UAZ.
It is clear that by lowering final drives the speed will be less, but this is partly offset by large wheels.
As befits an all-terrain vehicle on low-pressure tires, the car has a smooth ride. Small bumps are swallowed by soft tires.
Rolled ascents, descents, the all-terrain vehicle passed with a working pressure of 0.6 without straining.
For virgin lands, the wheels were bled off to 0.3.
The only obstacle that the all-terrain vehicle did not submit to was the slope of the shore of an artificial reservoir. A couple of meters to the top of the wheel tore off the snow cover, and under it ice. There was no longer enough grip on the wheels, and the inertia that could have helped had long since dried up. So anyone needs a winch vehicle high traffic!
I was pleased with the presence of interwheel locks. Without them, the all-terrain vehicle could fall into a trap even with a slight diagonal hanging. And so: turned on the two levers and went as if nothing had happened.
But changing the pressure in the wheels takes time. It takes 10-15 minutes to inflate or deflate all four wheels.
But there is time to eat. As if a table was made specifically for this at the back :)
Snow and swamp vehicle " Vector U-469"It is positioned as a more budgetary analogue of TREKOL.
Roman's first car from the Komi Republic was a BMW 5-Series, but after driving it for exactly a year, he decided to sell it. The thing is that such a car was not very suitable for the harsh northern conditions, where there is a lot of snow and few high-quality asphalt roads. For the harsh climate needed all-wheel drive SUV! So Roman's choice fell on our domestic all-wheel drive SUV UAZ.
While serving in the army, Roman already had experience with UAZ. In the car, he liked its reliability and patency. It was for this reason that he began to look for a car precisely old model on military bridges, but with a living body. The search for a donor lasted about a year. In 2009, Roman managed to find a 1993 UAZ 417 suitable for his purposes with gear bridges, albeit with a slightly dented, but living body. And the goal was a bright expedition vehicle on big wheels, which can be driven to any place and not be afraid of snow or bad roads.
“There were, of course, problems with the engine, axles and brakes. For the first six months brought it to working condition " says Roman.
Having driven a UAZ for a year and a half in stock off-road condition, the author of the project decided to add even more cross-country ability to the SUV. It all started with the installation of 33-inch wheels (over time, they were replaced by 38s). And it started that Roman was already unstoppable. Today he uses his expeditionary for hunting, fishing, tourism and travel in the Subpolar Urals.
“At first, I just wanted to improve the off-road qualities of the car: put 33 tires and a small lift” Roman shares.
Having installed 33-inch wheels, and having driven around on an SUV, Roman decided to freshen up the body a little: he dismantled it, straightened it, puttied it and covered it with soil. For a long time, our today's hero could not decide on the color of the body, but settled on a bright orange color.
For contrast, black plastic overlays were added to some parts of the body: snorkel, moldings, armrests, overlays on the door pillars, overlays on the hinges, radiator, tailgate and door lining, spoiler, deflector. Front power bumper RIF new model. For beauty, 2 FG-126 high-beam tank headlights were installed, in which 5000K xenon kits were introduced.
“Many are opponents of plastic on the UAZ. Of course, who cares, but I really like to change the external and internal design of my UAZ with the help of parts from this material " Roman shares.
UAZ is used both for everyday driving around the city and off-road. Roman's native low-power motor did not suit him, and he decided to look for another one. Initially, he wanted to install Japanese diesel engine, but after thinking a few times, his choice fell on the ZMZ 409 - 2.7-liter gasoline unit 150 hp
The most interesting moment was the introduction of an engine from later modified UAZ models, since Roman had no experience with the 409th engine. He had to completely change all the wiring, digest all the fastenings of the internal combustion engine and gearbox, lay the fuel line. Despite all the difficulties, the author of the project was satisfied with his choice. At the same time, the old gearbox was replaced with a new five-speed one from ADS, and gears from 3.3 were put into the transfer case.
The frame of the UAZ was not left without attention. It took more than a week to clean and paint it alone. As soon as it came to joining the frame with the body, new sets of pillows and a 60 mm body lift were put on it. Next came a new exhaust, a 100-liter tank and power steering. Both axles were fitted with automatic locks and disc brakes. The suspension has also been changed. All springs were completely replaced with 3-leaf springs from a euroloaf, and GAZ 53 shock absorbers were added.
As befits any expeditionary, the car from today's story is equipped with a snorkel, a winch, a chandelier, a roof rack, a Multitronics MPC-800 diagnostic trip computer and HELLA work lights (on the back of the trunk).
“The first trip in our small town was a sensation, many people came up, were interested and took pictures with the UAZ. to this day, some pedestrians who turn around follow him with their eyes. ” Roman shares.
Roman plans to refine the interior, but he has not yet decided on this, and the alteration of doors and doorways: from 5-door to 3-door. There were no difficulties in the implementation of the project, all alterations took place as usual scheduled repairs hands of the author of the project in his own garage.
“Last summer we tried to scout the way to Lake Haimato. We did not get a little, the July snow interfered. We then drove from locality about 100 km, which by local standards is very far on wheeled vehicles"- says the author of the project.
