Lug nut torque specs by make and model

GarageDex lists the factory wheel lug nut torque, in foot-pounds, for 54 makes and 618 models from 1995 to 2021. Pick your make.

Key takeaways

  • Most passenger cars fall between 80 and 100 ft-lbs; most light trucks between 100 and 150 ft-lbs.
  • Tighten in a star pattern with a torque wrench, never with an impact gun alone.
  • Re-check torque after the first 50 to 100 miles - lug nuts loosen as the wheel seats.
