Parts for your 2017 Honda Cr-v-Wheel studs nuts

2017 Honda CR‑V Wheel Studs and Nuts

Technical sources confirm the 2017 Honda CR‑V is built with wheel studs and nuts, not wheel bolts. The Honda CR‑V Owner’s Manual (flat‑tyre/wheel change section) and Honda Service Information for the 2017 model specify five press‑in wheel studs per hub with matching lug nuts, tightened to a specified torque. That makes wheel studs and nuts fully relevant to this vehicle.

On this CR‑V, the wheel studs and nuts provide the clamping force that secures the wheel to the hub and brake rotor hat. Correct clamping keeps the wheel centred, prevents brake pulsation from rotor movement, and protects the studs from fatigue. Honda’s service literature specifies tightening the wheel nuts evenly in a star pattern to a dry torque of 127 N·m (94 lb‑ft) on clean, undamaged threads.

• Typical spec: 5 studs per wheel, M12 x 1.5 thread
• Seat style: 60° conical/tapered seat for OEM wheels
• Wheel nut hex: commonly 19 mm (verify with vehicle)
• PCD: 5 x 114.3 mm
• Torque: 127 N·m (94 lb‑ft), dry threads (per Honda service data)

For servicing, owners should have the wheel studs and nuts inspected at each tyre rotation or brake service (about every 10,000 km). Look for corrosion, stretched or mushroomed stud tips, damaged or cross‑threaded nuts, and deformed tapers. Threads must be clean and dry, avoid lubricants or anti‑seize, as Honda procedures base torque on dry friction. After any wheel refit, recheck torque after 50–100 km of driving.

1. Clean the hub face and wheel mounting pad to remove rust and debris.
2. Hand‑start all nuts, then snug in a star pattern.
3. Torque to 127 N·m (94 lb‑ft) in a star pattern with a calibrated torque wrench.
4. Replace any stud that’s bent, stripped, or stretched, press new studs in from the rear of the hub using proper support.
5. Replace nuts with damaged tapers, swollen caps, or poor threads, use quality OEM‑equivalent taper style to match the wheel seat.

Replacement is advisable whenever a nut binds during hand‑threading, a stud spins without tightening, or torque won’t hold. Vehicles in coastal areas or that see frequent wheel changes (seasonal tyres, towing, off‑road use) benefit from more frequent checks. These guidelines reflect Honda Owner’s Manual instructions for wheel changing and torque, and Honda Service Information procedures for hub, stud, and wheel installation on the 2017 CR‑V.

Popular questions about 2017 Honda CR‑V wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2017 CR‑V?
Honda specifies 127 N·m (94 lb‑ft) on clean, dry threads, tightened in a star pattern. After wheels have been off, it’s smart to recheck torque after 50–100 km to confirm clamping is consistent.

Can anti‑seize be used on CR‑V wheel studs?
No. Honda procedures assume dry torque. Lubricants or anti‑seize reduce friction and can lead to over‑clamping, rotor distortion, or stud damage. Keep threads clean and dry and use a torque wrench.

How do you know a wheel stud or nut needs replacing?
Signs include cross‑threading, visible thread galling, a nut that won’t torque correctly, a bent stud, or a damaged taper on the nut. If in doubt, replace the affected stud and nut as a pair to maintain safe clamping.
