For most 2008 Honda models, lug nuts use 12 mm diameter studs with a 1.5 mm thread pitch, and the lug nuts themselves typically require a 19 mm wrench. This is common across several popular models, but exact sizes can vary by model and wheel type.
The question spans a mid-year lineup that includes several distinct vehicles, such as the Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and Fit. While the general specs above apply to many trims, it’s important to verify the precise size for your exact model and wheel configuration before buying or replacing lug nuts or wheels.
Model-specific lug nut sizes
Below is a quick guide to the typical lug nut specs for common 2008 Honda models. Always verify on your actual vehicle.
- 2008 Honda Civic — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
- 2008 Honda Accord — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
- 2008 Honda CR-V — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
- 2008 Honda Pilot — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
- 2008 Honda Odyssey — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
- 2008 Honda Fit — Thread size: M12 x 1.5; lug nut seat: conical (60°); lug nut hex size: 19 mm; typical torque: about 80–100 ft-lb (108–135 Nm).
Note: Some trims or aftermarket wheels may use slightly different specifications. Always verify with the owner’s manual, the door jamb placard, or by measuring the lug nut and stud directly on your vehicle.
How to verify the correct lug nuts for your car
Check the owner’s manual and door placard
Begin with the manufacturer’s guidance. The owner’s manual or the placard on the driver’s door jamb usually lists the correct lug nut size, thread pitch, and torque specification for your exact model and trim.
Inspect the wheel and lug nuts
Remove a wheel cover or inspect the current lug nuts on your vehicle. If you already have lug nuts installed, you can measure the hex size with a wrench or socket to confirm the correct size before buying replacements.
Measure and compare
If you don’t have documentation handy, you can measure the lug thread pitch with a thread gauge and verify the stud diameter (12 mm is typical for many 2008 Hondas). Use a torque wrench to ensure you tighten to the recommended specification once you have the right nuts.
Summary
In practice, most 2008 Honda models use M12 x 1.5 lug studs and conical 60° seat lug nuts that typically require a 19 mm wrench, with a torque range usually around 80–100 ft-lb. Because the lineup covers multiple models, always confirm the exact specification for your specific vehicle by checking the owner’s manual, the placard on the door jamb, or your current lug nuts. If in doubt, consult a dealership or repair shop to avoid mismatched parts.
Is a 21mm socket the same as 13/16?
Technically the 13/16 is the smaller and more correct size. Theoretically, both. You can use a 21mm socket on a 13/16 nut. But not vice versa.
What size lugnuts are on a 2008 Honda Accord?
Dorman – Wheel Lug Nut: M12-1.50 Thread, Conical 60, Bulge Acorn, 1.382" Length, Chrome (sold by each) (Part No. 611-182)
Are all lug nuts 21mm?
The three most common hex sizes for lug nuts are 17 mm, 19 mm, and 21 mm, while 22 mm, 23 mm, 11⁄16 inch (17.5 mm), and 13⁄16 inch (20.6 mm) are less commonly used.
Can I use 7/8 instead of 22mm?
A: 22mm = 0.866", which essentialy is a 7/8" socket. A 7/8" socket will work on a 22mm lug nut, but it can feel a little loose. The other way around, a 22mm can work on a 7/8" lug nut, but it can be really snug, which is not bad.
