OEM 9" rears on front - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have a 2011 ss. Was thinking of getting a set of oem 9" wheels for the front and running 285/35 r20 on back and 275/35r20 on front. This would be 27.9" diameter on rears and 27.6" front (stock is 28.7"). Good selection of tires in those sizes. Anyone see any issues with this other than Speedo and odometer being off? Or am I over thinking this and just go with 275/40 r20 on all four. Thanks.

and this does a few things for you as well.....it will increase your handling capabilities and will allow you to rotate your tires to even out wear.... there have been a LOT and I mean a LOT of us that have done this very thing.

So I’d also like to consider getting another set of 20x9 “midnight silver” RS rims to run in the front for handling and tire rotation purposes. Where’s a good place to buy some?

Would this require a spacer?

I bought mine off of ebay, they were brand new wheels. you can also check the for sale section of the forum too.
