English term or phrase: selective fit
Context: general automotive usage (as it seems), especially with spare parts (bearings etc.)

Ex. 1: "...this denotes a slight difference in piston size to allow for selective fit to the particular block bore during factory assembly."

Ex. 2: (from a parts catalogue) "Main bearing bushes: Selective fit depending on journal dimensions and radial clearances."

Does anyone know the German term?
