This latest Toyota Tundra lug nuts size guide explains how to select the correct wheel nuts and install them properly for your 2000-2025 Toyota Tundra XK30/XK40/XK50/XK70 pickup truck in 5 easy steps.
- Thread Pitch
- Torque Specifications
- Socket Size
- Seat Type
- Wheel Style
Figuring out the lug nut thread pitch is the first step to choosing new Tundra wheel nuts. Common metric thread diameters are 12 mm and 14 mm. Almost all Toyota Tundra lug nuts are metric size. Therefore, the thread size of a 2007-2025 Toyota Tundra lug nut is M14x1.5mm while the thread pitch of a 2000-2006 Tundra wheel nut is M12x1.5mm.
How Much Torque for Toyota Tundra Lug Nuts?
The REFERENCE torque spec on the OEM lug nuts on a 2007-2025 Toyota Tundra is 97ft-lb or 131Nm. For a 1999-2006 Tundra M12x1.5mm wheel nut, the reference wheel nut torque spec is 81ft-lb or 110Nm. When torqued to the correct spec, the Tundra lug nuts will make a strong mechanical connection to the threads on the vehicle hub. So, it is important to ensure that all the lug nuts are torqued to the correct specifications.
What is Toyota Tundra Lug Nut Socket Size?
The socket size of a 2000-2025 Toyota Tundra lug nut is 13/16″ or 22mm. Sometimes, the lug nut head styles determine the type of lug wrench needed. Most stock Toyota lug nuts are Hex types. You can easily find the correct sockets or wrenches to install or remove hex lug nuts. There are other spline-drive or heptagon (7-side) shape wheel nuts. Those lug nuts are usually used for anti-theft purposes and are commonly called wheel locks.
What’s better, BONOSS offers unique heptagon (7-side) shape wheel locks. When the key with hex socket inserts sets the nut inside, the heptagon key fits around the irregular shapes of the nut. These BONOSS heptagon wheel locks protect your wheels against theft! In addition, BONOSS dual hex wheel socket has dual 19mm (3/4 in.) and 21mm (13/16 in.) hex socket sizes. These dual-hex sockets provide two different hex adapters, allowing you to get into the right tight spots.
What Happens if You Don’t Replace Swollen Toyota Tundra Lug Nuts?
If you don’t replace the swollen Tundra lug nuts, they may be rusted or corrode by oxidation over time. Even if one nut breaks due to corrosion, it may gradually loosen. As the lug nuts loosen enough, the wheels can fall off suddenly. When you find a swollen lug nut, it’s highly recommended that you replace them as soon as possible. Particularly, BONOSS forged 50BV30 steel Toyota Tundra lug nuts give neutral salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours.

Do Toyota Tundra Lug Nuts Style Matter?
There are two styles of Toyota Tundra lug nuts: open-end and close-end. The open lug nuts are widely used for spacer applications since the longer wheel stud will require a specific number of threads protruding past the end of the lug nut. On the other hand, BONOSS forged 50BV30 steel wheel nuts are close-ended. Closed-end wheel lug nuts completely cover the studs.
They prevent the rainwater and debris from entering the studs. The surfaces are exquisite Mirror-black which maximally beautifies your wheels. Purchasing the right Toyota Tundra lug nuts will make sure you have a safe wheel connection.
