UTV Wheel Bolt Patterns Guide
May 27th 2025
Understanding your UTV's wheel bolt pattern is crucial for selecting the correct aftermarket wheels or replacing damaged ones. The bolt pattern, often expressed as "4x110" or "5x4.5", indicates two key measurements:
-
First Number (e.g., '4'): The total number of lug nuts (or bolts) on the wheel.
-
Second Number (e.g., '110' or '4.5'): The diameter of the imaginary circle that passes through the center of all the lug holes. This measurement is typically in millimeters (mm) but can sometimes be in inches.
Here's a comprehensive guide to common UTV wheel bolt patterns, broken down by manufacturer:

Important Considerations:
-
Center Bore: Beyond the bolt pattern, ensure the wheel's center bore matches your UTV's hub.
-
Offset and Backspacing: These measurements determine how far the wheel sits in or out from the hub, affecting stance, clearance, and handling. Always check recommended offsets for your specific vehicle.
-
Lug Nut Thread Size: The lug nuts themselves have specific thread sizes (e.g., M12x1.5, 3/8"-24). Ensure your new wheels are compatible or acquire the correct lug nuts.
-
Always Double-Check: While this infographic provides common patterns, always confirm the exact specifications for your specific UTV's make, model, and year with the manufacturer's manual or a reputable dealer before purchasing new wheels.
