What size socket is a 2017 Honda HRV lug nut?
On most 2017 Honda HR-V models, the lug nuts require a 19mm socket to loosen and tighten. This is the standard across most Honda wheels, but variations can occur with aftermarket wheels. Always verify before working.
Standard lug nut socket size for the 2017 HR-V
The socket size is the hex measurement that fits the lug nut head. Using the correct socket protects the nut, stud, and wheel during removal and installation. For the 2017 HR-V, the factory lug nuts are typically tightened with a 19mm socket.
Before diagnosing or attempting a different size socket, consider these steps:
- Check the owner's manual or service guide for the exact lug nut size and wheel specifications for your trim and wheel type.
- Inspect the lug nuts on your wheels to determine the hex size; if you have a socket set, try a 19mm socket as the first option.
- If 19mm doesn’t fit or seats poorly, carefully try a slightly larger size (e.g., 21mm) to avoid rounding the nut or damaging the stud. Be aware that aftermarket wheels or lug nuts may use a different size.
- Note the seat type (conical/acorn vs. ball seat) because it affects the tool style, though the hex size is typically the same for factory HR-V wheels.
Conclusion: The standard for factory wheels on the 2017 HR-V is a 19mm socket, but always verify for your specific wheels and setup.

Summary
In short, expect to use a 19mm socket for the lug nuts on a 2017 Honda HR-V factory wheels. Confirm with your owner's manual or wheel manufacturer if you have aftermarket wheels, and always torque to the specified value.
