Hi there,

All they have to do is swap the wheels front to back, and do a balance as well, go find a shop that will do this.

The shop says the rims will not fit back to front. Is there some kind of offset or?
Thanks for your prompt reply, I greatly appreciate it.

OK, if this is the case then the tyres will have to be removed to do the rotation, not a very good idea is it!

Thank you very much. I was just wondering if it is the car itself or the rims, I don't really understand, and, no it really isn't a good idea. Tires cost enough as it is, and to have to pay to rotate, is ridiculous. And I am not getting the mileage out of the tires I buy, not by half. Maybe I need to go somewhere else besides Les Schwab! Well thank you for your time.

Hi there,

As am in Australia, and we don't have many Chevy camaro's down here, I am not that sure my self, I would think that it is a mod, as you would not expect this on a factory spec car. But stranger things have happened, the tyre retailer will be able to answer this for you, Good luck and thank you for using 2carpros.
