The wheel stud/wheel nut/wheel lock size for the US spec Kizashi is 12 x 1.25.

I am posting this because I could not find the information on this site and a lot of info on the internet regarding the size is wrong.
I googled it and got 12 x 1.5 as an answer from other Suzuki forums and search results. This is wrong! I bought 12 x 1.5 wheel locks and they did not fit.

The correct size is 12 x 1.25 (though I have yet to personally confirm this with a fitment).

I am looking to get wheel locks so that is why I am keen on the correct size.
Hope it helps someone in the future.

That's the correct size (12x1.25mm) - I've got lock nuts fitted on mine. I think you'll find it applies to all Kizashi's too, not just US models.

Makes sense, but I was not sure so I wanted to be careful. I did not want to make a general statement regarding all Kizashi's without knowing for sure. Thanks for the input.

Finally ordered and installed wheel locks for the car. The correct size is indeed 12 x 1.25. In case anyone is interested in wheel locks, I got McGard wheel locks (acorn type) which fit nicely on the wheels. There is also enough clearance on the 18 inch factory wheels for the key. McGard makes most OEM wheel locks as well though mine were a aftermarket purchase.

Do you happen to have the part number handy? I visit McGard website and search for 12 * 1.25, there are too many result, not sure which to get.

It is for my 2012 Kizashi SE AWD.

Regarding McGard Wheel Locks 24154 (M12 * 1.25)

The 4 nuts fit, but the key does not fit the stock tire iron, it is bigger, I did not install the nut until I find a tire iron that fit the key, but that still mean one needs to keep 2 set of tire iron, 1 for the McGard keys, and 1 for the Suzuki nuts.

I did not encounter this problem on my 2004 Acura MDX, the same tire iron works on both keys and nuts.
