What size thread are the lug nuts on a Ford Focus?

Most Ford Focus lug nuts use M12 x 1.5 threads (12 mm diameter with a 1.5 mm pitch) and a 19 mm wrench size, a standard setup across many model years. There can be market-specific variations, so always verify with the owner's manual or the nuts on your car if you’re unsure.


General guide by generation


Although most Focus generations share the same basic lug-nut thread, the exact specification can vary by year and market. The guide below lists the typical arrangement for the main production eras.



  • 2000–2004 Ford Focus (first generation; 5x108 bolt pattern): lug nuts typically M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex.

  • 2005–2011 Ford Focus (second generation; 5x108): lug nuts typically M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex.

  • 2012–2014 Ford Focus (MK3): lug nuts typically M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex.

  • 2015–2018 Ford Focus (MK3 facelift): lug nuts typically M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex.

  • 2019–present Ford Focus (MK4): lug nuts typically M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex.


In practice, this means you can expect the same general thread size for most Focus variants you’ll encounter. If you’re buying replacements or rotating tires, confirm the exact size on your car’s lug nuts or in the owner's manual before purchasing.


How to verify the lug nut size on your Focus


When in doubt, there are a few quick checks you can perform to confirm the correct lug nut size for your specific vehicle.


Check the owner's manual or service guide


Consult the maintenance section for the recommended lug nut size, thread pitch, and torque. The VIN-specific guide can prevent mis-sizing if your Focus is a rare market or edition.


Inspect the current lug nuts or wheel studs


Look for markings on the lug nuts themselves or measure the stud diameter with calipers; the common metric size for Focus is a 12 mm stud with a 1.5 pitch, and lug nuts are typically sized for a 19 mm wrench across flats.


Summary


For most Ford Focus models, the lug nut thread is M12 x 1.5 with a 19 mm hex. This applies across generations from the first generation through the current MK4, though you should always verify due to regional variations or unique editions.
