What size are the lug nuts on a Honda HRV?
The Honda HR-V typically uses 19 mm lug nuts on 12 mm wheel studs with a 1.5 mm thread pitch (M12x1.5), arranged on a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern. Always confirm for your exact year and market.
Core specifications you should know
Below are the typical specs you’ll encounter for HR-V wheel hardware. They cover most models but may vary by year or region; verify with your vehicle’s documentation.
Bolt pattern and wheel studs
The HR-V uses a five-lug wheel pattern across most model years, with wheel studs that are 12 mm in diameter and typically M12x1.5 thread pitch. This combination means most wheels and studs share common geometric compatibility.
- Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 mm
- Wheel studs: 12 mm diameter, 1.5 mm thread pitch (M12x1.5)
In practice, this setup commonly requires lug nuts with a conical/seated profile and a 19 mm hex for installation.
Lug nut type and socket size
The lug nuts used on the HR-V are typically conical-seat (tapered) nuts designed for the 5x114.3 mm pattern, and the standard tool size to tighten or remove them is a 19 mm socket.
- Lug nut seat: conical (tapered)
- Hex size: 19 mm
Always verify with the owner's manual or a parts specialist, as seat type and hex size can vary by year or aftermarket wheels.
Year/market variations and how to confirm
While the specs above apply to the majority of HR-Vs sold in North America and many other markets, small variations exist depending on the generation and the market. The safest approach is to confirm using the vehicle’s VIN, the door jamb sticker, or by inspecting the lug nuts themselves.
- Check the owner's manual or door jamb sticker for wheel lug pattern and torque specs
- Count the lug studs (5-stud pattern) and measure stud diameter and pitch if needed
- Compare with a known-good lug nut from your vehicle to match seat type and hex size
When in doubt, consult a Honda dealer or a reputable tire shop to avoid mis-sizing and potential safety risk.
How to confirm for your specific vehicle
To ensure you’re using the correct hardware for your HR-V, follow these steps:
- Check the owner’s manual or the tire/wheel information on the door jamb sticker for lug pattern and nut size guidance
- Look at the hex size of your current lug nuts and measure the seat type (conical vs. flush/other) if needed
- Ask a dealer or parts professional with your VIN for an exact match, especially if you have aftermarket wheels
Bottom line: while the HR-V’s lug nut configuration is standardized in many markets, precise specs can vary by year, trim, and region. Verifying with official documentation or a qualified technician ensures safety during maintenance.
Summary
For the Honda HR-V, the typical lug nut setup is a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern with 12 mm wheel studs (M12x1.5) and conical-seat lug nuts that require a 19 mm socket. Always verify the exact specifications for your specific year, market, and wheels to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
