Almost every modern Toyota uses M12×1.5 wheel studs and a 21 mm socket. Passenger cars and crossovers share a 76 ft·lbs spec; body-on-frame trucks and SUVs step up to 83 ft·lbs, and the full-size Tundra to 97 ft·lbs on M14×1.5 studs.
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. Toyota 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 →
