Wheel Nuts Jeep WK2 Grand Cherokee 5/127
Wheel Nuts – Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 (2011–2022) | Factory Alloy Wheel Specification
If you're replacing a damaged wheel nut, refitting wheels after a tyre change, or simply ensuring you have the correct hardware on hand, these are the correct factory-spec wheel nuts for the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2. Getting the wrong nut — incorrect thread pitch, seat angle, or hex size — can result in cross-threading, wheel damage, or a wheel coming loose on the road. These are the right ones.
Specifications
- Thread: M14 x 1.50
- Seat type: 60-degree tapered/cone seat — correct for factory WK2 alloy wheels
- Socket size: 19mm or 3/4" hex
- Torque: 130 Nm (factory specification — confirm with your workshop manual)
Compatible Models
- Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 (2011–2022) — all variants with factory alloy wheels
Note: Aftermarket wheels may use a different seat type (e.g. flat seat or radius seat). Always confirm your wheel's seat type before purchasing replacement nuts.
Common Reasons for Replacement
- Rounded or damaged hex from incorrect socket use
- Cross-threaded nuts from incorrect fitment
- Corrosion or seizure after years of exposure to road salt, mud, or moisture
- Missing nuts after wheel removal at a tyre shop
- Upgrading to aftermarket wheels requiring compatible hardware
Workshop Tips
- Always use a calibrated torque wrench when fitting wheel nuts — never rely on an impact gun alone for final torque.
- Use the correct 19mm socket — a worn or incorrect socket can round the hex.
- Retorque after the first 50–100km following any wheel removal.
- Do not use lubricant or anti-seize on wheel nut threads unless specifically recommended — it affects the torque reading.
- Replace nuts in sets if corrosion is present — don't mix old and new hardware on the same wheel.
