Kawasaki UTV Wheel Bolt Pattern Guide: Mule, Teryx, KRX and Ridge

Direct answer and scope

The Kawasaki Ridge uses a 4/137 bolt pattern, meaning four lug holes spaced on a 137 mm bolt circle. This is the same pattern found on the Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 and many other KRX models. The Kawasaki Mule commonly uses a 4/110 bolt pattern on smaller utility models, while the larger Mule Pro and Teryx sport-utility models vary by generation and hub design. Bolt pattern is only one part of wheel fitment; wheel offset, center bore and lug nut seat type also affect whether a wheel will mount correctly.

Kawasaki Ridge wheel bolt pattern

For the Kawasaki Ridge and Ridge Limited, the documented wheel bolt pattern is 4/137. This means the wheel has four lug holes and the center of each hole lies on an imaginary circle 137 millimeters in diameter. The Ridge uses a hub-centric design in most OE setups, so the wheel center bore should match or exceed the hub diameter to seat properly. When replacing wheels, a 4/137 pattern is the required starting point, but do not ignore load rating and backspacing.

Kawasaki Mule wheel bolt pattern

The Mule family is split across two common patterns. Many compact Mule SX, Mule 4010 and older 600/610 models use a 4/110 bolt pattern. Larger Mule Pro-FXT, Pro-FXR and Pro-DX models typically use a 4/137 pattern shared with the KRX and Ridge. Because the Mule name spans many years and chassis configurations, a specific model year and trim should be confirmed before ordering wheels. The 4/110 and 4/137 patterns are not interchangeable.

Kawasaki Teryx wheel bolt pattern

The Teryx line uses different patterns depending on generation. Early Teryx 750 models and Teryx4 750/800 variants are generally documented as 4/137. The Teryx KRX 1000, which carries the Teryx name but shares the KRX platform, also uses 4/137. Some earlier or regional Teryx configurations may have a different center bore or offset specification even when the bolt circle is the same, so fitment should be checked against the actual hub.

KRX 1000 and KRX wheel bolt pattern

The Kawasaki KRX 1000 uses a 4/137 wheel bolt pattern. This applies to the standard KRX 1000, KRX 1000 Special Edition and later KRX 4 1000 variants. The KRX platform uses a relatively high-offset factory wheel and a center bore that is generally hub centric. Because the KRX is heavier and more powerful than a typical compact Mule, replacement wheels should meet the vehicle's load and offset requirements, not just the 4/137 bolt circle.

Fitment checklist beyond bolt pattern

A matching bolt pattern prevents installation errors, but four more points determine safe fitment. First, wheel offset and backspacing set how far the tire sits inside or outside the fender; changing offset affects steering effort and suspension clearance. Second, center bore diameter must be large enough for the hub, especially on hub-centric Kawasaki models. Third, lug nuts must match the wheel's seat profile, typically conical or flat, and must have the correct thread pitch. Fourth, the wheel's load rating needs to cover a fully loaded UTV, particularly on heavy Mule Pro and KRX models.

Common fitment notes and gaps

Published owner and parts documentation consistently gives 4/137 for the Teryx KRX 1000 and Ridge, while the smaller Mule uses 4/110. Where evidence is less uniform is in specific wheel offset ranges and center bore dimensions across all Mule generations and regional trims. Some Kawasaki models have different front and rear track widths, but the bolt pattern itself remains the same on all four hubs. If a source lists only a tire size without a wheel specification, that is not sufficient evidence of bolt pattern.

Practical next step

To avoid a wrong purchase, record the exact model year, model line and drive configuration, then verify the hub bolt circle before comparing wheels. A quick measurement of a four-lug hub across the center of opposite studs can distinguish a 110 mm from a 137 mm pattern, but measuring precisely is easier with the wheel removed. For Mule Pro, KRX and Ridge owners, most aftermarket UTV wheels with a 4/137 pattern, a compatible center bore and an offset close to factory will provide the broadest fitment options.
