I have a 2013 2LT/RS. It came with 275/40/20 on the rear and 245/45/20 on the front. What is the advantage to the larger rears. I'm just thinking it may be easier for me to go with all the same size when replacement time comes. Thoughts?

Better traction and looks.

It would look kinda goofy with 245s in the rear on a Camaro, whether it was a V8 car or not. If you wanted a set you could rotate, just get a set of rear wheels to put in the front and run 275s all the way around. In case you weren't aware, your rear wheels are wider than the fronts.

This They still tuck in and look offset because of the rear fenders, but they can be rotated which is a plus.
