Honda CR-V Lug Nut Torque Spec
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-28 · confidence: high
The wheel lug nut torque for the Honda CR-V, and how to tighten safely.
In short: torque the Honda CR-V's lug nuts to 80 lb-ft (1.5T (gas), 2017–2024 (5th–6th gen)), in a star pattern, with a torque wrench — then re-check after 50–100 miles.
Safety: wheel torque matters. Under-torqued nuts can loosen and a wheel can come off; over-torquing can stretch studs and warp rotors. Use a calibrated torque wrench (not an impact gun) and always confirm the spec in your owner's manual.

| Applies to | 1.5T (gas), 2017–2024 (5th–6th gen) |
- Snug all nuts by hand, then seat them in a star pattern.
- Set a torque wrench to 80 lb-ft and tighten in 2–3 increasing passes, star pattern.
- Lower the vehicle and do a final torque pass with the wheels on the ground.
- Re-check the torque after driving 50–100 miles — especially after a rotation or new wheels.
FAQ
What is the lug nut torque for a Honda CR-V?
About 80 lb-ft for the 1.5T (gas), 2017–2024 (5th–6th gen). Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern with a calibrated torque wrench, then re-check after 50–100 miles of driving.
What happens if lug nuts are too tight or too loose?
Too loose and a wheel can work free; too tight can stretch the wheel studs and warp the brake rotors. Use a torque wrench — don't guess with an impact gun.
Do I torque lug nuts hot or cold?
Torque to spec with the wheels cold and the vehicle on the ground, and always confirm the figure in your owner's manual.
