Generate Product Card with Vehicle Compatibility for Rim
Changed onThis endpoint generates the product card for a specific rim, providing compatibility information about various vehicles. The output includes vehicle make, model, generation, and production years, which allows clients to enrich the product page by displaying compatible vehicle options where the rim can be installed.
2D Frontspace/Backspace filtering: Compatibility is determined using a 2D geometric filter on both frontspace (hub-to-outer-lip) and backspace (hub-to-inner-lip). OEM wheel pairs must have FS and BS greater than or equal to the searched rim's values minus the tolerance (fs_poke / bs_push in mm). The safe direction (more tuck for FS, more retract for BS) is uncapped.
Each result includes fs_delta_mm (positive = poke toward fender) and bs_delta_mm (positive = deeper toward suspension) showing how much the searched rim differs from the OEM fitment.
Note that in some cases, additional components such as spacers or special bolts/nuts may be required for proper installation. It is recommended to check fitment by placing the rims on the vehicle and verifying they do not interfere with the brake caliper or extend beyond the wheel arch.

Query parameters
Bolt pattern is expressed as the number of lugs by the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. You can use GET /by_rim/bp/ to get a list of available value values. (e.g. 5x114.3)
Rim diameter is the distance measured in inches across the face of the wheel, from bead seat to bead seat. You can use GET /by_rim/rd/ to get a list of available value values. (e.g. 19)
Rim width is the distance measured in inches from bead seat to bead seat. You can use GET /by_rim/rw/ to get a list of available value values. (e.g. 7.5)
Rim offset is a distance between wheel mounting surface where it is bolted to hub and the centerline of rim. You can use GET /by_rim/of/ to get a list of available value values. (e.g. 38)
Centre bore value, mm (e.g. 60)
The fd parameter represents the diameter of the wheel fastener threads, measured in millimeters (mm). This parameter is essential for ensuring a secure fit of the wheel's bolts or lug nuts. For a list of possible values and additional details, please refer to the Thread Size ISO and UN Series Glossary on Wheel-Size.com. (e.g. 14)
Frontspace poke tolerance in mm. 0 = exact or safer only (no poke). Default: 2. (e.g. 2)
Backspace push tolerance in mm. 0 = exact or safer only (no push). Default: 2. (e.g. 2)
[Deprecated] Mapped to bs_push. Use bs_push instead.
[Deprecated] Safe direction is now uncapped. Mapped to bs_push if sent alone. Use fs_poke/bs_push instead.
Percentage adjustment for the overall diameter tolerance range (0–5%), where default is 1%.
Percentage adjustment for the overall width tolerance range (0–3%), where default is 0%.
Widen rim diameter search window by ±N inches. 0 = exact match only. Default: 0.
Sort order for results.
- name — alphabetical by make/model (default)
- fitment — closest frontspace delta first
- load — heaviest load capacity first (nulls last) (e.g. name)
Comma-separated list without spaces. Supported field names: make, model
Maximum number of items to return (default 100, max 1000).
Number of items to skip before collecting the result set.
