On the 10th-gen Accord a rotation is about as simple as it gets: one 19 mm socket, a jack, stands, and a torque wrench. All trims — 1.5T, 2.0T and Hybrid — share M12 x 1.5 studs, a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and an 80 ft-lb lug torque, so nothing about the tool list changes with engine choice.
The thing people get wrong is TPMS. Honda uses an indirect Deflation Warning System that infers pressure from wheel speed, so there are no sensors to relearn — but you do have to run the calibration from the infotainment or driver information menu after you set pressures, or the warning light will misbehave. The second common mistake is zipping the nuts down with an impact gun; over-torquing is a known cause of brake judder on these cars.

| Wheel lug nut thread size | M12 x 1.5, 5x114.3 bolt pattern |
19 mm. Use a 6-point thin-wall socket on a 1/2 in drive so you don't mark the alloy wheel. Studs are M12 x 1.5 with a 5x114.3 pattern on every trim, including the Hybrid.
80 ft-lb (108 Nm), tightened in a star pattern with the wheel just touching the ground. Re-check after 50-100 miles, especially on new or aftermarket wheels.
Yes — calibrate it. The Accord's system is indirect, so there is nothing to relearn, but you must run Settings > Vehicle > TPMS Calibration after setting pressures, then drive normally for about 30 minutes for it to finish.
At the reinforced pinch-weld notches just behind the front wheels and just ahead of the rear wheels, using a slotted rubber pad. Support on jack stands at the pinch weld or adjacent frame rail; the Sport and Touring front lip is low, so a low-profile jack helps.
