What size are the lug nuts on a Honda CRV?
Most Honda CR‑V models use M12 x 1.5 lug nuts with a 19 mm (3/4 in) hex, tightened to about 108 Nm (80 ft-lbs). Always confirm the exact specification for your year and wheel setup in the owner's manual or on the door jamb placard.
Key facts about lug nut size and fit
The lug studs on a typical CR‑V are M12 with a 1.5 mm thread pitch, and the corresponding lug nuts are designed to fit a 19 mm socket. The seat type on OEM wheels is usually a standard conical/tapered seat, but wheels and aftermarket nuts may vary. Always match the nut type to the wheel design and verify torque specifications in your manual.
Model-year scope
Current generation (2017–present)
In the current generation, the standard remains M12 x 1.5 with 19 mm hex nuts for most trims that use factory alloy wheels. If you have aftermarket rims, double-check compatibility with the wheel’s lug-nut seats and thread engagement.
Earlier generations
Earlier CR‑V generations generally followed the same pattern—5-lug wheels with M12 x 1.5 studs and 19 mm lug nuts for most configurations. Exceptions can occur with special trims or aftermarket setups, so consult the vehicle’s service data or the wheel label for your exact year.
Tips for installation and safety
Use a quality torque wrench and tighten lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even seating. After replacing a wheel, recheck torque after 50–100 miles (80–160 km). Avoid relying on impact wrenches to reach final torque; follow the manual’s specification for proper tightening.
Summary
For most Honda CR‑V models, lug nuts are designed for M12 x 1.5 studs with a 19 mm hex, typically torqued to about 108 Nm (80 ft-lbs). Always verify the exact spec for your year and wheel type via the owner's manual or the vehicle’s door placard to ensure proper fit and safety.
