Wheel locations...

So I've noticed many times before that my wheels are stamped on the inside with either FRONT or REAR. This never bothered me much before, but now it's time to rotate the tires and I don't want to wreck anything by putting FRONT marked wheels in the rear and REAR marked wheels in the front. So, I ask you guys, why are the wheels stamped this way? Are they two different sizes?

Oh, and if it matters, the Camaro I'm refering to is the '91 RS in my sig.

yes they have different backspacing... you can't rotate front to rear, just side to side... unless you have tires that have specific rotation directions then you can't rotate them at all (like me lol)

With front/rear specific wheels and directional tires you have to have the tires dismounted from their rims, installed on another rim and rebalanced.

unless you have tires that have specific rotation directions then you can't rotate them at all (like me lol)


That'd be me too. So they have to be remounted completely....fantastic!

Thanks.
