What size lug nut for Dodge Journey?

Most Dodge Journey models use lug nuts with M12 x 1.5 threads and a 19 mm hex head, typically paired with a 60-degree conical seat. If your Journey has aftermarket wheels or a different trim, always verify with the vehicle’s manual or the door placard, or by inspecting the existing hardware.


Common lug nut specs for Dodge Journey wheels


The following details cover the standard specifications you’re likely to encounter on factory wheels for the Journey (roughly 2009–2019).



  • Thread size: M12 x 1.5

  • Hex head size: 19 mm (3/4 in)

  • Seat type: 60-degree conical (acorn-style lug nuts are typical for this seating)

  • Wheel compatibility: Fits most factory wheels; some aftermarket wheels may require different lug nuts


In practice, these specs cover the vast majority of Journeys with stock wheels. Always check your exact wheel spec if yours differs.


Variations by year or wheel type


While M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex and a 60-degree conical seat is common, some aftermarket wheels or rare trims may use different seating or hex sizes. In these cases, a 21 mm hex or a different thread pitch could be required. Always confirm before purchasing or installing replacements.


How to verify the exact lug nut size on your Dodge Journey


To confirm the exact lug nut size on your vehicle, follow these steps.


Before conducting a list, note that the exact spec can vary with wheel type and year, so double-check against your vehicle’s documentation or wheel manufacturer.



  • Check the owner’s manual or the door jamb placard for lug nut size, thread pitch, and seat type.

  • Inspect the lug nuts themselves for stamped markings indicating thread size and hex size (for example M12 x 1.5 and 19 mm).

  • Consult the dealership or the wheel manufacturer if aftermarket wheels or hardware are installed.

  • When replacing hardware, ensure the new nuts match the exact specs of the existing hardware or the wheel manufacturer’s recommendations.


Following these steps helps ensure proper fit, torque, and safe wheel installation.


Summary


For the Dodge Journey, the typical lug nut size is M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex head and a 60-degree conical seat. Verify with your owner’s manual, door placard, or the wheel manufacturer if you’re using aftermarket wheels, as variations can occur by year or wheel design. When in doubt, consult a professional to confirm compatibility and torque requirements.
