What is the lug nut torque for the 2023 Kia Soul?
The OEM-specified lug nut torque for the 2023 Kia Soul is 79-94 ft-lbs (107-127 Nm). Use a calibrated torque wrench for the final pass — an impact gun cannot hit a precise value and is the most common cause of warped rotors and stretched studs. The clamp load settles as the wheel seats against the hub, so re-check at the interval in your owner's manual or the wheel maker's instructions.
What socket size fits the Soul lug nuts?
Measure across the flats of the lug nut to confirm the socket size, then use a 6-point impact-rated socket rather than a 12-point chrome socket to avoid rounding the nut.
How to torque the Soul wheels correctly
Thread every lug nut on by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then torque to 79-94 ft-lbs (107-127 Nm) in a star (criss-cross) pattern across two passes — roughly 50% then 100%. Never run one nut down fully before the others; it cocks the wheel and warps the rotor. Lower the vehicle so the tire is loaded before the final pass, and re-check at the interval in your owner's manual.
