What size is the wheel nut on a 2007 Toyota Corolla?

The wheel lug nuts on a 2007 Toyota Corolla are M12 x 1.5 with a 21 mm hex socket and a 60-degree conical seat, used on the stock 5-lug setup. The factory torque specification is about 76 ft-lbs (103 Nm).


Core specifications


Below are the standard specifications you’ll typically find on the Corolla’s factory wheel hardware. This section covers the common setup for the original equipment wheels.



  • Wheel lug pattern: 5x100 mm

  • Thread size: M12 x 1.5

  • Stud diameter: 12 mm

  • Zinc/plated lug nuts: standard on factory wheels

  • Nut seat: 60-degree conical (acorn) seat

  • Nut outer hex size: 21 mm

  • Number of lug nuts per wheel: 5

  • Recommended torque (factory spec): 76 ft-lbs (103 Nm)


These specs are standard for the stock wheels on a 2007 Corolla. If you’ve upgraded to aftermarket wheels or a different trim with unique hardware, verify the exact specifications with the wheel manufacturer or a service manual.


Verification and variations


Before you work on wheels or buy replacement lug nuts, it’s important to confirm the correct size for your specific setup, especially if aftermarket wheels are installed.



  1. Check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or a Toyota service manual for the exact torque specification and lug nut size for your wheel size and trim.

  2. Inspect the existing lug nuts to confirm the thread size, seat type, and hex size. If the existing nuts fit a 21 mm socket, they are likely the standard size.

  3. For aftermarket wheels, verify the lug nut dimensions (thread pitch, seat type, and hex size) with the wheel manufacturer and ensure the lug nuts are compatible with your studs and hub.

  4. When reinstalling wheels, re-torque to the specified value after the initial drive (often within 50-100 miles) to account for seating.


If you’re unsure, consult a Toyota dealer or an ASE-certified mechanic to prevent improper seating or under/over-torque, which can compromise wheel safety.


Summary


For a 2007 Toyota Corolla, use lug nuts with an M12 x 1.5 thread, 60-degree conical seat, and a 21 mm hex, on a 5x100 mm bolt pattern. The recommended factory torque is 76 ft-lbs (103 Nm). Always confirm with your manual or wheel manufacturer if you’ve added aftermarket wheels, and re-torque after installation for safety and proper seating.
