What is the lug nut torque for a Honda?

It depends on the model: Honda Civic — 80 ft·lbs (108 N·m); Honda Accord — 80 ft·lbs (108 N·m); Honda CR-V — 80 ft·lbs (108 N·m); Honda Pilot — 94 ft·lbs (127 N·m); Honda HR-V — 80 ft·lbs (108 N·m).

What size socket do Honda lug nuts need?

Honda models on this page use 19 mm. Always use a six-point socket; a twelve-point rounds the flats.

Do all Honda models use the same bolt pattern?

No. Honda models on this page use 5×114.3, 5×120. Bolt pattern must match exactly for a wheel to fit.

How Honda Wheel Torque Works

Honda standardises on M12×1.5 studs with a 19 mm socket — smaller than the 21 mm most other Japanese brands use. Cars and compact crossovers on the 5×114.3 pattern take 80 ft·lbs; the wider 5×120 light-truck platform (Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline) takes 94 ft·lbs.

Tightening Any Honda Wheel

Star sequence, always. Never work around the wheel in a circle. Five-lug wheels go 1 → 3 → 5 → 2 → 4; six-lug wheels go 1 → 4 → 2 → 5 → 3 → 6; eight-lug wheels go 1 → 5 → 3 → 7 → 2 → 6 → 4 → 8.

Two passes. Snug everything to about half spec first, then bring each lug nut to full torque in the same order.

Dry threads. Honda publishes these figures for clean, dry threads. Lubricant at the same wrench setting produces far more clamp load than intended.

Re-torque after 50–100 miles. This matters most on alloy wheels and after any wheel-off service.

These are reference values for the generations listed on each model page. Trim levels with different wheel packages, and any vehicle fitted with aftermarket wheels, can differ — confirm against your own owner's manual. Full lug nut torque guide →
