thought u meant tires, not wheels... looked at both and don't know y they have different listings, but there is a F/R set on page 2 of the T/A... but their tire sizes r not accurate either... they list a 275/40x17 for both a 9" and a 10.5" rim on the camaro, and they list a 245/45x17 for a 9" rim on the T/A, and on the F/R set, they list a 245/40 on a 9.5" and a 275/35 on a 10.5", it should be a 275/35 and 295/35 on those sizes... websites r not perfect, use your best judgement...

with the correct offset/backspacing, u can run a 315/35x17 on the back with minimal problems, but the wheels have to be perfect sized... u can't use the old ZR1 wheels, u hafta use the '96 grand sport style wheels, which have the right offset... in 18's, u can use a 10 or 10.5 on the back with a 285/35 or 295/35...
