## Description

When you're trying to figure out if a set of wheels will actually bolt onto a car without rubbing or causing safety issues, you usually end up digging through messy PDF manuals or scrolling through endless forum threads. This Connector changes that by giving your agent direct access to a massive database of factory specifications. Instead of guessing, you can ask your agent to pull the exact bolt pattern, center bore, and lug nut thread for any vehicle from the last three decades. It handles the heavy lifting of comparing those numbers against each other to tell you exactly what works and what doesn't. If you're managing a fleet or running a wheel shop, having this data ready in your chat interface saves a ton of back-and-forth. It's one of the practical tools in the Vinkius catalog that turns a manual research task into a quick conversation. You just tell the agent what cars you're looking at, and it handles the math and the lookups.

## Tools

### check_compatibility
Tells you if wheels from one car will safely fit another by comparing bolt patterns and clearance.

### get_vehicle_specs
Pulls the exact factory bolt pattern, center bore, lug nut thread, and offset range for a specific car.

### list_makes
Provides a full list of all automotive manufacturers currently supported by the database.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the wheel specs for a 2015 Honda Accord?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 2015 Honda Accord, here are the factory specifications:

*   **Bolt Pattern:** 5x114.3mm
*   **Center Bore:** 64.1mm
*   **Lug Nut Thread:** M12x1.5
*   **Offset Range:** +12mm to +52mm
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will wheels from a 2015 Honda Accord fit a 2018 Toyota Camry?
```

**Response:** 
```
The fitment is **INCOMPATIBLE**. 

While both vehicles may share similar dimensions, the bolt pattern or center bore requirements do not match for a safe installation. You should always verify the specific hub data before attempting a swap.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List all supported car makes.
```

**Response:** 
```
The database supports a wide range of manufacturers, including:

*   Acura
*   Audi
*   BMW
*   Chevrolet
*   Ford
*   Honda
*   Toyota
*   ...and many others.
```
