Renault Captur was created with a focus on the Russian consumer. Surely, many remember a crossover with an almost identical name.
Only instead of the first letter, there was the letter “ C " The fact is that that car was originally conceived purely for the European market. In addition, domestic drivers did not particularly like Captur. It seemed too weak, light, almost like a toy, and on top of that it didn’t have all-wheel drive, and Russia doesn’t like such cars.
This is understandable, Kaptur’s predecessor was built on the platform Clio, and this, as you know, is a subcompact hatchback. The manufacturer decided to please everyone and, having modified the original, released a completely new crossover, transplanting it onto a more powerful platform from Renault Duster.
This change seriously transformed the car, making it more serious. Also, the car was put on different wheels. In this review, we will look in detail at what wheels are on the Renault Captur, but first about all the changes in more detail.

Overall dimensions of Renault Captur: body, wheels, clearance
None of the Russian buyers would dare call it compact. Because the overall dimensions of the Renault Captur body are almost close to the dimensions of the Duster, which is by no means compact in…
Unique appearance
Whatever it was, Kaptur retained that original appearance for which Europeans fell in love with the previous version. The exterior here is truly unique.
The machine is made in an elegant style and has wide personalization possibilities. This is due to the fact that the body and roof of the car can be of different colors, which creates an interesting, harmonious picture.
The buyer can choose the option he likes from as many as 19 combinations, and this is not counting the latest updates(Extreme) where the color gamut was slightly expanded.
If desired, the individuality of the Captur can be emphasized by decorating it with graphic stickers and side moldings. True, this is only an option that will cost almost 30 thousand rubles.
"Front" of the crossover Renault Captur, has also undergone changes. Due to the increased dimensions of the ambitious new product in all respects, it seems quite massive. Plus, an extended radiator grille and new optics.
The latter makes the car look very expressive. In addition, the level of illumination at night increased by 20%. The next change to the front of the car is the fog lights.
Unlike the European version, where they were practically in a rectangular frame, here they are made in a U-shape and look quite catchy. Also striking are the doors that cover the thresholds. Does this have any practical significance? Maybe at least the bottom of the driver's pants will be cleaner.
Renault's interior has remained virtually unchanged since the Captur. The same futuristic dashboard is installed here, with a bunch of different buttons and switches everywhere.
This is a high-tech, practical and beautiful salon. The equipment has become even more sophisticated. The car received an updated multimedia system and several modernized control-related functions.
The center console is framed in a stylish orange frame, and the high beams are now turned on automatically. Of course, in order to appreciate all the stuffing of this crossover, you will have to fork out for the most expensive package, which will include such functions as climate control, a rear view camera, parking sensors, LED fog lights and much more.
In addition to purely visual changes, the Kaptur and wheelbase. It is 2674 mm.
Separately, it is worth noting the increased ground clearance. The ground clearance of the new product is as much as 204-210 mm, which slightly knocks it out of the line of crossovers for the city. But it jumps onto the curb without any problems. This clearance is due to the platform that the French borrowed from Duster. Under the bottom there is a noticeable metal protection covering the engine and fuel line.
The last noticeable change in the exterior of the new product is the wheels. This is a stylish 17-inch solution, which is the largest for its platform.
Renault Captur wheel parameters
The wheels are often used to judge the car itself. Their design gives a clear idea of the owner's tastes. Many drivers, having bought a new car, immediately rush to change the wheels, but the owner Renault you don't have to worry, because Characteristics of Kaptur wheels They say that this is a very good standard kit.
The wheels of this car are distinguished not only by their large size, but also by their original design.
Kaptur has 4 types of equipment and each has its own wheels. By the way, there are also four sets of wheels, but this does not mean that there is one option for each configuration.
Only the cheapest series has one type of disk - Life. All others can be combined depending on the engine and gearbox. The parameters of standard wheels are: 6.5Jx16, ET-50 and 6.5Jx17, ET-50, where 6.5 is the width, 16 and 17 wheel diameter, and 50 is the “offset”.
The design of the discs itself Renault Captur looks much better than most models from this manufacturer. The design sets the tone for the ride and makes the car more dynamic. Tire sizes are as follows: 215/65 for 16″ and 215/60 for 17″. The outer diameter in the first case is 686, in the second – 690 mm. With a smaller diameter, the speedometer overestimates the speed.

On a car from Renault, Kaptur, as well as on Duster, the wheel sizes can have different diameters. But unlike the Duster, the wheel diameter on the Renault Captur can only have two sizes: 17 and 16 inches. This similarity between the two models is not surprising; the Russian-made Kaptur is based on the Renault Duster. But not all types of wheels from the Duster are suitable for the Captur; the specifics of selecting tires and wheels should be understood in more detail.
Wheels for Renault Captur
Kaptur models of domestic production are sold on the Russian market. The parameters and body features of the Renault Captur are similar to the Duster, but the wheelbase is slightly different. The size was chosen so that the car feels good on any road. Ground clearance, track size and other parameters are selected specifically to improve the car's behavior on the road, while maintaining the features of a compact crossover. But the wheel rims have several sizes - depending on the type of equipment. But some standard parameters are similar in all trim levels.
Standard size
The new Renault model has three types of equipment, each of which has different rims. For example, the base level is installed with a casting - Silver Theme, while the Driver and Style are installed with Steppe Black or Steppe Gray.
Wheels on Renault Captur differ primarily in size, but otherwise the wheels on different trim levels are similar. Standard equipment is equipped with 6.5Jx16 (ET-50) wheels, while more complex configurations are equipped with 6.5Jx17 (ET-50). These abbreviations use the following meanings:
- 6.5 – wheel width;
- 50 – departure parameter;
- 16 and 17 – the diameter of the wheel rim used in the car.
To understand what wheel bolt pattern is used in a particular model, you need to read the car’s passport, or figure out what configuration the Captur was purchased with. Namely: the Life assembly is 6.5Jx16 (ET-50), and the Driver and Style assembly is 6.5Jx17 (ET-50).
The standard wheel sizes from Duster are not suitable for the Kaptur.
Most Popular
Since most often in the Russian Federation Captur models are purchased as standard, most often you can find wheels with 16. It all depends on the region and city. There are areas where the Driver assembly is purchased more often than Life; in these areas, you can often find disk sizes 17 on the market.
Tires for Renault Captur
In order to figure out what pressure is suitable for the Kaptur, you can familiarize yourself with the parameters in the factory wheels. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, a pressure of 2.0 bar is favorable for tire operation. This information can be found on the body pillar of this crossover. This parameter is the same for tires of all configurations, but the standard size and dimensions differ.
Standard sizes
Tire sizes vary depending on the diameter of the rim: for 16 inches - 215/65, for 17 inches - 215/60. The external diameter of the tires also depends on the model configuration: on the standard assembly – 686, on Driver and Style – 690 millimeters. All this made it possible to achieve optimal dimensions on the standard assembly of the Renault Kaptur wheelbase, which differs from the model on which it is based - Duster.
Most popular models
Please understand that if you use non-standard tires on your vehicle, the vehicle's speedometer will not function correctly. There is also a risk of malfunctions occurring in the future, so you should purchase wheels, tires and rims that match them in size.
Some people have a question about which tire manufacturers are best for use on the Captur. According to statistics and the opinion of many motorists, the most popular and highest quality tire brands are:
Pay special attention to the selection of tires for trips in the cold season. Winter tires for Renault Captur for the Russian market are produced by most manufacturers. The most popular brands are:
- Kumho I'Zen KW31;
- Bridgestone Blizzak VRX;
- Pirelli Ice Zero Friction;
- Viatti Bosco Nordico.
Due to the peculiarities of production and pricing policy, winter tires for different configurations vary greatly in cost. A winter tire on a Renault Captur with a diameter of 16mm will cost up to 7 thousand rubles, but 17mm winter tires will cost up to 12 thousand rubles.
About the dokatka
The all-wheel drive Renault Captur model does not provide the possibility of installing a spare tire under the bottom, therefore, for the convenience of using the car in the future, the manufacturer has installed a rolling wheel in this configuration. Its standard sizes differ significantly from standard wheels - 145/90 R16. The tire diameter on the Renault Kaptur is 668 millimeters. This is significantly different from the standard, but is compensated by the high pressure inside - 4.2 bar.
Usually the standard size for re-rolling does not matter, but some motorists need to know this information. There is no definite answer, it all depends on what type of wheel is used, but usually wheel wheels from Nissan cars are used. The following wheel sizes are applicable for them: Jx16, ET-40, PSD 5×114.3, DIA 66.1 mm.
Conclusion
Despite the fact that the Kaptur car is assembled on the basis of the Renault Duster model, the wheelbase dimensions, tire diameters and widths, wheel sizes and other parameters differ for these cars. Moreover, the diameter of the wheels and tires also differs among the three Captur trim levels, depending on the assembly and its cost. This is due to engine power and gearbox type. Therefore, you should be careful about what tires and wheels you purchase. Before purchasing, you need to determine what diameter is used in the model you are using, and only then purchase parts for the wheels.
The new model has two wheel sizes: 16 and 17 inches. The same thing happened with the Duster SUV, but it has more standard sizes. For example, 7.0Jx17 ET-47 wheels are suitable for Duster. But they are not suitable for Captur! Let's consider what size tires and wheels for Renault Captur were chosen by the manufacturer himself - that is, the Renault company, which.
In May 2016, there were 10 copies of Captur crossovers at the Moscow Renault plant - we are looking for them in the video.
The Russian crossover Kaptur has been built.
The Captur model has three equipment levels: , Drive and Style. In the first case, Silver Thema alloy wheels will be installed. For levels “2” and “3” there is another option - Steppe Gray casting, as well as Steppe Black wheels with diamond grinding.
Silver Theme, and also Steppe Black and Gray
Standard disk parameters:
- Silver Thema – 6.5Jx16, ET-50;
- Steppe Black/Grey – 6.5Jx17, ET-50.
The width is 6.5 inches, the “overhang” is 50 mm.
The mounting holes look like this: drilling – 5×114.3, center – 66.1 mm. M12x1.5 bolts are used for fastening.
A small nuance with the mounting bolts
There are two types of M12 fasteners, and each is compatible with casting or stamping only. For clarification, we provide a drawing.
Don't be mistaken when choosing fasteners
For casting, narrower and longer bolts are needed. There is nothing more to say here.
The main reference point is the outer diameter - it should be 22.5 mm!
Disc articles for Renault Captur
You can buy any Steppe wheels from Renault dealers. The Thema family is also not in short supply. The starting point when choosing will be the size:
- 17 – Steppe Black (403004100R) or Steppe Gray (403008207R), cap 403154214R;
- 16 – Trofi (7711547679), ROCK (7711547678) or Thema (403004974R), caps 8200043899 (gray) or 403154214R (black). Cap 403152766R fits Thema discs!
The appearance of Trofi and ROCK wheels can be judged from the photo.
Casting, 16 inches (Trofi – left)
The Duster and Renault Captur wheel sizes are not the same: a wide 7-inch rim is not suitable for the Captur. However, Renault has different options in its arsenal: Avanza (7Jx17, ET-49, 7711426130), Schuss (same, 403007582R). But the prices are set in such a way that it will be easier not to think about buying wheels with wide rims.
From the factory, you can see Thema Silver wheels on the Captur crossover. This option is not available for ordering, and the article number (dark gray) was indicated above.
Where is the dokatka and where is it not? Dokatka dimensions
In configurations with all-wheel drive, there is no space under the bottom for a spare tire, and therefore in (roll). Its tire size is 145/90 R16. Everything is clear here, but the question remains with the disk size.
Kaptur 4×4 rolling wheel
Most likely, we are talking about a dokatka suitable for Nissan cars. Then the disk size is known: 4Jx16, ET-40,PSD 5×114.3,DIA 66.1 mm. But there is no 100 percent certainty.
The speed marking on the tire tire corresponds to the numbers “190”. But the Renault company requires that the speed with re-rolling should not exceed 100 km/h.
Tire size
The 16-inch alloys are equipped with 215/65 R16 tires. For 17-inch wheels you need tires of a different size - 215/60 R17. The outer diameter in the first case is 686, in the second – 690 mm. With a smaller diameter, the speedometer overestimates the speed.
Pressure number plate
The diameter of the doka is 668 mm. The difference compared to a conventional wheel is compensated by high pressure. The numbers are indicated on a label attached to the driver's door (2.0 and 4.2 bar).
Who did all this?
All rubber for standard wheels is manufactured under license - we are talking about the Pirelli company. In 2011, the joint venture of Rostec and Pirelli bought buildings in Voronezh and Kirov from the Amtel holding. Then 440 million euros were spent on re-equipment. Let's name the brand of tires: Pirelli Scorpio, M+S. Roll-up wheels (tires and rims) are produced by Continental.
The tire size for Renault Captur was mentioned above. And the first modification carried out by the owner may be replacing the tires with something more decent.
