Mapping Products to Vehicles

1. Fetching Vehicle Data

Definitions:

  • OE replacements – products matching original, factory specifications

  • Staggered width – vehicles with smaller width wheels/tires on the front axle and larger on the rear axle(s).

  • Staggered diameter – same as above but for diameter

The initial step is to retrieve vehicle fitment data, which includes fitments and tags, using the following URL parameters:

  • i-fitments - Original Equipment (OE) fitments

  • i-optionalFitments - Optional Original Equipment fitments

  • i-plusSizes - Other possible wheel and tire configurations; some may require vehicle modifications (use fitment notes)

  • i-tags - Vehicle segment tags and niche tags

The user can be presented with fitments, optional fitments, and plus sizes to facilitate the selection of their vehicle configuration. Compatible products (tires and/or wheels) can be queried for once a fitment is selected.

Application

Fitments

Application

Fitments

1

OE replacements

Use values from Fitments and OptionalFitments

2

Compatible products not requiring modifications

Add PlusSizes without notes

3

Minor modifications

Add PlusSizes with notes and warn customers when fitments with notes are selected

4

Modified Suspension

Allow any diameters, widths and offsets

StaggeredWidth and StaggeredDiameter values may be used to offer different front and rear sizes even when not listed in vehicle’s fitments. This is optional and based on aftermarket trends.

Plus sizes are compatible only within each ChassisId. When the user selects an OE fitment, they may be presented with a list of plus sizes that match the ChassisId of the OE fitment.

DefaultChassisId points to the estimated most likely configuration for the vehicle.

Example

https://api.autosyncstudio.com/vehicles?f-id=297109&i-fitments&i-plusSizes&i-optionalFitments&i-tags&key=YOUR_KEY

f-id: 297109 i-fitments: i-plusSizes: i-optionalFitments: i-tags: key: YOUR_KEY


The above query will return the following values (irrelevant fields were omitted):

"BoltCircle": 114.3, "Bore": 70.6, "BoreRear": null, "DefaultChassisId": 92515, "Drw": false, "LoadRating": 97, "LoadRatingRear": null, "LugCount": 5, "MaxWheelLoad": 560, "NicheTag": "Mustang", "StaggeredDiameter": false, "StaggeredWidth": true, "Tags": ["Classic", "Luxury", "Replica"] "Type": "Car", "Fitments": [{ "AspectRatio": 50, "AspectRatioRear": null, "ChassisId": 92515, "Diameter": null, "DiameterRear": null, "Format": "M", "Id": 174681, "InchWidth": null, "InchWidthRear": null, "MaxOffset": 45, "MaxOffsetRear": null, "MinOffset": 30, "MinOffsetRear": null, "Name": "", "Offset": 40, "OffsetRear": null, "RimDiameter": 18, "RimDiameterRear": null, "RimWidth": 8, "RimWidthRear": null, "SectionWidth": 235, "SectionWidthRear": null, "SpeedRating": "W", "SpeedRatingRear": null, "TireSize": "235/50R18", "TireSizeRear": null }, ... ], "OptionalFitments": [{ "AspectRatio": 40, "AspectRatioRear": 40, "ChassisId": 61654, "Diameter": null, "DiameterRear": null, "Format": "M", "Id": 174686, "InchWidth": null, "InchWidthRear": null, "MaxOffset": null, "MaxOffsetRear": 48, "MinOffset": null, "MinOffsetRear": 35, "Offset": 45, "OffsetRear": 52, "RimDiameter": 19, "RimDiameterRear": 19, "RimWidth": 9.5, "RimWidthRear": 10, "SectionWidth": 255, "SectionWidthRear": 275, "SpeedRating": "(Y)", "SpeedRatingRear": "(Y)", "TireSize": "255/40R19", "TireSizeRear": "275/40R19" } ], "PlusSizes": [{ "AspectRatio": 40, "ChassisId": 61654, "Diameter": null, "Format": "M", "InchWidth": null, "MaxOffset": 40, "MinOffset": 30, "Notes": [], "RimDiameter": 19, "RimWidth": 8.5, "SectionWidth": 245, "TireSize": "245/40R19", "Type": "F" }, ... ]

2. Wheels

Matching Wheel Styles

See the API Guide for a description of the parameters:

Wheel Styles

Notes

LugCount

f-lugCount

 

BoltCircle

f-boltCircle

 

Bore and BoreRear

f-minBore

If BoreRear is not NULL use the bigger of the two: Bore, BoreRear.

MaxWheelLoad

f-minLoadRating

 

Type or Drw

f-andVehicleTypeTags

If Drw (Dual Rear Wheels) is set to true the value of the filter should be set to “Dually”, otherwise it should be set to the value of Type.

f-orVehicleTypeTags or f-andVehicleTypeTags filter may be used; in this context, it wouldn't make a difference.

Tags

f-orSegmentTags

Comma-separated values

NicheTag

f-nicheTag

 

Offset

f-offset

Taken from OE fitments. Use this value for factory replacements. Otherwise, see MinOffset and MaxOffset below.

MinOffset and MaxOffset

f-minOffset and f-maxOffset

These are taken from plus sizes. The values may be applied to OE fitments if ChassisId and wheel size match.

RimDiameter and RimDiameterRear

f-diameters

If RimDiameterRear is not NULL set f-diameters to RimDiameter and f-diameters2 to RimDiameterRear.

RimWidth and RimWidthRear

f-widths

If RimWidthRear is not NULL set f-widths to RimWidth and f-widths2 to RimWidthRear.

Pseudocode for Matching Wheel Styles

Pascal-case labels represent vehicle related fields. Snake-case labels represent wheel related fields.

LugCount = lug_count AND (BoltCircle = bolt_circle1 OR BoltCircle = bolt_circle2) AND MAX(Bore, BoreRear) <= bore AND MaxWheelLoad <= load_rating AND if Drw = true { "Dually" IN wheel_tags } else { Type IN wheel_tags } AND at least one of the Tags IN wheel_tags AND (NicheTag = niche_tag OR niche_tag IS NULL) AND MinOffset <= offset AND MaxOffset >= offset AND RimDiameter = diameter AND RimWidth = width

If any of the rear values are not NULL, analogues code would be required for matching rear tires.

For OE replacements replace line 12 with:

Example

https://api.autosyncstudio.com/wheels/styles?f-diameters=18&f-widths=8&f-orSegmentTags=Classic,Luxury,Replica&f-orVehicleTypeTags=Car&f-lugCount=5&f-boltCircle=114.3&f-minBore=70.6&f-minLoadRating=560&f-nicheTag=Mustang&f-minOffset=30&f-maxOffset=45&key=YOUR_KEY

For OE replacements replace lines 10 and 11 with:
