What size lugnuts are on a Dodge Dart?
The Dodge Dart’s lug nut size isn’t identical across every model year or wheel option. For most modern Darts (2013–2016), the standard lug nuts are typically M14 x 1.5 with a 60-degree conical seat, and a 22 mm wrench size is commonly used. However, aftermarket wheels or special trims can use different specs, so always verify your exact setup.
Common configuration for the modern Dodge Dart (2013–2016)
The following specifications cover the most widely seen factory configuration on the Dart’s contemporary generation. If your car has different wheels from an aftermarket package, sizes may vary.
- Thread size: M14 x 1.5
- Lug nut seat type: 60-degree conical (standard on many Chrysler/FCA wheels)
- Outer hex size: typically 22 mm (7/8 inch); some aftermarket nuts may use 21 mm
- Torque specification: generally around 100–110 ft-lbs (135–150 Nm)
Before listing the typical specs, note that these are the common OEM features found on many 2013–2016 Darts with factory wheels.
In short, for the typical modern Dodge Dart, you’re looking at M14 x 1.5 lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat, a common 22 mm wrench size, and a torque range near 100–110 ft-lbs. Always confirm with your specific wheel package or the service manual if in doubt.
How to verify the exact lug nut size on your Dart
To ensure you have the correct lug nuts for your car, use these steps to verify your specific setup before purchasing replacements or performing maintenance.
- Inspect the lug nuts you currently have for stamped sizing (look for M14 x 1.5 or similar markings on the nut itself).
- If markings aren’t clear, remove one lug nut and measure the thread diameter with calipers and count the thread pitch, or use a thread gauge.
- Check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or a manufacturer service bulletin for the recommended lug nut size and torque.
- Consult your wheel manufacturer or a dealership to confirm compatibility with OEM vs. aftermarket wheels.
- Bring a lug nut to an auto parts store to match the correct size and seat type if you’re unsure.
Follow these steps to confirm the exact size for your vehicle:
Using the exact size and type is important for safe wheel mounting and proper torque, so validating with official documentation or the wheel maker is advisable.
Vintage and variations on older Dodge Darts
Older Dodge Darts (from the 1960s and 1970s) used very different wheel hardware and aren’t interchangeable with modern lug nut standards. There is no single size that applies across the entire Dodge Dart lineage, so vintage models require year-specific references or restoration manuals to determine the correct lug nuts.
Note on aftermarket wheels
Aftermarket wheels can demand different lug nut sizes, seat shapes, and hex sizes even on the same model year. If you’ve upgraded wheels, always verify the lug nut requirements with the wheel manufacturer and ensure the correct torque specification is used.
Summary
For the typical 2013–2016 Dodge Dart with factory wheels, expect lug nuts sized M14 x 1.5 with a 60-degree conical seat, commonly using a 22 mm wrench and torqued to about 100–110 ft-lbs. However, variations exist with aftermarket wheels or different trims, so always verify the exact size for your vehicle by checking the lug nuts themselves, consulting the owner’s manual, or contacting the wheel manufacturer or dealer.
