2017 Hyundai Elantra Bolt Sizes & Torque Specs

Does this apply to my Elantra?

Partly — the same 79-94 ft-lbs (107-127 Nm) for every 2017 Hyundai Elantra version we checked: 3 of 4 trim/engine versions, against the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Owner's Manual, p. PDF p. 446.

Versions checked (3)

2.0L I4: Limited, SE
2.0L I4 (trim not listed)

Not checked against the manual yet: 1.6T I4: Sport.

This figure assumes: OEM wheels and lug nuts as specified in the owner's manual.

Aftermarket wheels or lug nuts: use the wheel or lug-nut maker's figure.

Lug nut torque is not verified for this summary. Review the cited evidence and exact hardware application before installation.

This page distinguishes source-backed fields, unresolved conflicts and unverified legacy records for the 2017 Hyundai Elantra. Match the exact hardware and manual conditions before maintenance. A source for one field does not verify the other specifications.

Field evidence: Lug nut torque is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut socket size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut thread size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut part number is not verified; no specification is assumed.

Lug Nut — torque: 79-94 ft-lbs (107-127 Nm) — 2017 Hyundai Elantra Owner's Manual, p. PDF p. 446. OEM wheels and lug nuts as specified in the owner's manual. Applies to: 2.0L I4: Limited, SE (5 configurations).

Hyundai, Kia and Genesis models share many platform families, but the exact lug socket and torque can differ from one record to another. Use the value listed on this page and measure the lug nut when the socket field is blank.

Sixth generation (AD, 2017–2020)

The 2017 Elantra is the sixth-generation 'AD' car (2017–2020), which moved to a 2.0-liter Nu four-cylinder on most trims alongside turbocharged 1.4-liter (Eco) and 1.6-liter (Sport) options.

This generation added more high-strength steel to the body and a stiffer front subframe, so several suspension and subframe fasteners carry higher torque than the equivalent fifth-generation part. Look up the exact value for your year rather than reusing an older Elantra spec, and treat the fine-pitch oil-drain-plug threads with the same care as the earlier cars.

Common fastener categories on the 2017 Hyundai Elantra

Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)
Brake caliper bracket, mounting, and slide/guide-pin bolts are different fasteners. Confirm the exact axle, application and service-manual specification before reassembly.
Engine oil drain plug torque and tool size when this vehicle has a verified drain-plug record
Transmission pan, valve cover, and intake manifold bolts where the database has exact records
Suspension control arm, sway bar, tie rod end and ball joint torque
Spark plug torque only when a vehicle-specific spark-plug row is available
Differential cover bolts (RWD/4WD only) and transfer case fasteners

Repair guidance for this model year

For 2017 model-year work: This era introduced widespread torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts on head, main, and crank pulley fasteners. TTY bolts stretch permanently when torqued and must not be reused — the spec calls for a fresh bolt every time. Always verify TTY status against the FSM before reassembly.

Tools you will need

Metric and SAE socket set (8mm-22mm plus 1/4"-7/8"), 6-point impact-rated
Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
Replacement washers, threadlocker, anti-seize, or dry-thread preparation only when the exact service procedure specifies them

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug nut torque on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra?

Specification not verified for this lug nut summary. Do not substitute another model year's value. Field evidence: Lug nut torque is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut socket size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut thread size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut part number is not verified; no specification is assumed.

Does the 2017 Hyundai Elantra lug nut torque depend on trim or engine?

Not for the versions we checked. We found the same 79-94 ft-lbs (107-127 Nm) for every 2017 Hyundai Elantra version we checked: 3 of 4 trim/engine versions, against the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Owner's Manual, p. PDF p. 446. Not checked against the manual yet: 1.6T I4: Sport. This figure assumes: OEM wheels and lug nuts as specified in the owner's manual. Aftermarket wheels or lug nuts: use the wheel or lug-nut maker's figure.

What socket size do I need for the 2017 Hyundai Elantra lug nuts?

Confirm the socket against the actual lug nut; no size is assumed here.

Are the 2017 Hyundai Elantra fasteners metric or SAE?

Metric and SAE hardware can both appear on one vehicle, depending on the component and exact application. Use the individually verified field and the actual fastener or service manual rather than inferring a standard from the model year, make or generation. Bolt-head markings can help identify the hardware at the bench.

31 recorded 2017 Hyundai Elantra fasteners

Every bolt we have on record for the 2017 Hyundai Elantra. A value marked verified names the document it came from. A verified torque doesn’t confirm the socket size, thread or part number, and a value that isn’t marked verified hasn’t been checked yet, so confirm it in your service manual. Where sources disagree, we leave the value out.
