The prescribed wheel nut torque for the Toyota Venza is 154 foot-pounds as specified by the manufacturer. It's important to use a torque wrench while tightening the bolts to prevent damage to the lug stud and ensure that the wheel assembly is properly sealed and assembled to avoid any strain issues. If any lug nuts or studs are damaged, they can be replaced for around $10 to $20 per package. Refer to the owner's manual to find the correct lug size and placement. The car's bolt pattern is listed as 5x114.3 and the thread type is indicated as 12 x 1.5.

    I tightened it to 154 foot pounds instead of the recommended 80-90, and it broke. Charles, I wish all 10 of your lug nuts would break. People who respond to questions they don't understand are foolish.

    Seventy-six foot-pounds.

    The owner's manual recommends tightening to 76 foot-pounds 👌👍🚗

  • Braedon

    In the specifications section of the owner's manual, it states that the weight should be 76 pounds.

    There should be a method to flag inaccurate information. I'm surprised this is the top result on Google. Luckily, I have some knowledge about mechanical stuff and can tell that 154lb/ft is wrong. Ryan and Charles might be trolling or simply mistaken, and shouldn't be giving car advice in the future.

  • Richard Gray

    The specified tightening torque requirement for the wheel nuts of a Toyota Venza is 154 foot-pounds.

  • Martha A.

    My F250 Diesel requires the wheel nuts to be torqued to 145 pounds. I think the person may have accidentally referenced the axle nut torque specification.

  • Santosh

    76 pounds is the correct weight according to the manual, not 154 pounds.

  • Shy

    If you tighten the lug nuts to more than 76 foot-pounds, they may become swollen. You might want to look up information about swollen lug nuts online.

  • Ismael Garcia

    You are crazy if you attempt to tighten them down this much... Make sure you have extra studs and the expertise to replace them all!

    80 pounds is very good. I am an older German mechanic who has worked on many Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

    According to the Toyota Maintenance Manual, for tire size P245/50R20 102H, the recommended cold tire inflation pressure for driving under normal conditions is 32 psi for both front and rear tires. If driving at high speeds above 99 mph, an additional 3 psi should be added to both the front and rear tires. It is important to never exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure as specified on the tire sidewall. The wheel size for this tire is 20x7 1/2 J, and the wheel nut torque should be 76 ft-lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m).

    For tire size P245/55R19 103S, the recommended cold tire inflation pressure is also 32 psi for both front and rear tires under normal driving conditions. When driving at high speeds above 99 mph, add 3 psi to both the front and rear tires. Again, it is crucial not to exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. The wheel size for this tire is 19x7 1/2 J, and the wheel nut torque should be 76 ft-lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m).

    Lastly, for tire size T165/90D18 107M, the recommended cold tire inflation pressure is 60 psi. The wheel size for this tire is 18x4T, and the wheel nut torque should be 76 ft-lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m).

    My Toyota Venza delivers a torque of 88-90 pounds, not a silly 154 pounds.

    Ryan and Charles are complete idiots. They have no clue what they're doing. With their advice, you're just asking to ruin your studs and mess up your brakes.

  • Janet F

    Ryan, with 80 foot-pounds and the support of his 7 votes, is unaware of his own ignorance, making him a potential threat.

  • Russell H.

    154 foot-pounds seems appropriate for an M14 stud, but it is excessive for an M12 stud like the one in the Venza. The maximum torque you should aim for is between 80 and 90 foot-pounds.

  • DJF4x4

    The accurate response is 80 pounds.
