Are Toyota lug nuts sae or metric?

Ugh, lug nuts. I swear, they’re the bane of my existence sometimes! So, you’re wondering if Toyota lug nuts are SAE or metric? Yeah, I’ve been there. It’s a total brain-scrambler when you’re stuck on the side of the road, right?

Anyway, Toyota uses metric. Pretty much always 21mm. I remember once, helping my brother change a tire on his old Corolla – that was a 21mm, for sure. Now, I think I read somewhere that a 13/16 inch socket might work in a pinch, if the lug nut cover isn’t all messed up. But honestly? I wouldn’t risk it. It’s probably going to be a really sloppy fit and could strip the nut. Not worth the hassle, you know?

My Camry, for example – it’s definitely M12 x 1.5 thread size. I actually had to look that up once, when I was trying to replace a stud. (That was a whole other adventure!). And the center bore? 60.1 mm. I remember that number because it’s oddly specific, like something a robot would design.

So yeah, stick with a 21mm socket. It’ll save you a whole lot of frustration. Trust me on this one. Been there, changed those tires – and I don’t want you to go through the same struggle!
