2007 Honda Stream wheel studs and nuts

Yes, the 2007 Honda Stream uses wheel studs and nuts (not wheel bolts). This is confirmed by Honda’s technical literature: the Honda Stream (RN6–RN9) Service Manual specifies “wheel nuts” with a tightening torque of around 108 N·m, and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue lists pressed-in front and rear wheel studs (M12 x 1.5) as part of the hub assemblies. The Owner’s Manual wheel/tyre section supports this arrangement and the cross-pattern tightening method.

On this model, the studs are pressed into the hub and the nuts secure the wheel against the hub face. Their whole job is to generate the right clamping force so the wheel stays centred and the brake rotor is pinched firmly between the wheel and hub. Studs make wheel changes easier and reduce the chance of cross-threading compared with loose wheel bolts, which is why Honda sticks with this setup on the Stream.

For routine servicing, good practice is simple but important. Tighten the nuts to 108 N·m on clean, dry threads and seats—no oil, anti-seize or copper grease, because lubrication alters the torque-to-tension relationship and can over-stress the studs. Always tighten in a star/cross pattern, then re-check torque after 50–100 km if a wheel has been off, such as after a tyre rotation or puncture repair.

Inspection is best done at each service or every tyre rotation (about 10,000 km). Look for stretched or chewed threads, bent studs, rust pitting (especially on coastal cars), and deformed or “swollen” nuts. If a nut won’t run down by hand, something’s wrong—don’t force it with a rattle gun. Replace any damaged stud or nut straight away, a single weak link can compromise clamping across the whole wheel.

• Use the correct thread and seat: M12 x 1.5 nuts with 60° conical seats for OEM wheels.
• Finish tightening with a torque wrench, not just a rattle gun.
• Avoid spacers unless using longer, quality studs to maintain thread engagement.
• If a stud snaps or spins, press in a new one, don’t attempt thread repairs on a damaged stud.

Follow these basics and the Stream’s wheel studs and nuts will go the distance, keeping the ride smooth and the brakes happy.

Popular questions about 2007 Honda Stream wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2007 Honda Stream?
Honda’s service information specifies about 108 N·m. Tighten in a cross pattern on clean, dry threads, then recheck after 50–100 km if a wheel has been removed. This keeps clamping force even and helps prevent brake shudder or wheel wobble.

What size are the wheel studs and nuts on a 2007 Honda Stream?
The Stream uses M12 x 1.5 studs with matching 12 x 1.5 nuts, typically with a 60° conical seat to match OEM wheels. Most factory nuts take a 19 mm socket. Always match seat type and thread pitch to avoid damage.

Can anti-seize be used on Honda wheel studs?
It’s not recommended. Honda procedures call for clean, dry threads. Lubricants or anti-seize alter friction and can lead to over-tightening, stretched studs, or distorted brake rotors. If corrosion is a worry, inspect and replace affected hardware rather than lubricating it.
