In most cases, you cannot use wheel bolts from a different vehicle. Even wheel rims from the same
model may not fit properly.

required tightening torque for your vehicle's wheel bolts is 103 ft lbs (140 Nm) for front-wheel drive

wheel, the bolt torque must be checked as soon as possible with an accurate torque wrench. See an
