What size are the lug nuts on a 2015 Acura TLX?

The lug nuts on a 2015 Acura TLX are M12 x 1.5 with a 60-degree conical seat. They typically require a 19mm socket and should be torqued to about 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm) when installing factory wheels.


Context and details


The TLX uses standard Honda/Acura lug-nut specifications for factory wheels. If your vehicle has aftermarket wheels or different trims, verify the exact size and torque from the wheel manufacturer or service manual.


Key lug-nut specifications


Before listing the key specifications, here's a quick primer on what matters when replacing or inspecting lug nuts on the TLX:



  • Thread size: M12 x 1.5

  • Seat type: 60-degree conical (acorn) seat

  • Hex size: 19 mm across flats

  • Torque specification: about 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm)

  • Material: hardened steel with protective coating


These specs cover the typical factory configuration for 2015 TLX wheels; aftermarket or performance wheels may have different requirements.


How to verify the specs on your TLX


On-car checks and tools


To confirm the exact lug-nut size and torque, consult the owner's manual or service manual for your trim, or compare the nuts with a known sample. Use a properly calibrated torque wrench when installing wheels, and re-torque after a short drive to ensure proper seating.


Maintain clean, dry lug nuts and lug studs to ensure accurate engagement and prevent corrosion or thread damage.


Summary


For a 2015 Acura TLX with factory wheels, expect M12 x 1.5 lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat, a 19mm hex head, and a tightening torque of about 80 ft-lbs. If you’re using aftermarket wheels, verify compatibility with the wheel manufacturer and the vehicle's service manual.
