3rd Gen Cars With 4th Gen Rears... Rims???
I want to run the widest tire something like a 315 or 325.. 17's.. I have a rear out of a 97 anniversary Camaro.. I don't know what backspacing and width to get.. Anyone running this wide of a tire on a 4th gen rear end?
Here are some pics.. But I was told this is a stock 3rd gen rear...

Was just going to order 4th gen spec front rims.. And not get the spacers.. Heard that works just fine.. I just don't know the rear specs I want to order for my rims...

If you intend to put 17x11's on the rear with a 4th gen rear in a 3rd gen car, I'd recommend the LS1 (98-02) rear over the LT1 (93-97) rear due to the LS1 rear being slightly narrower. You will need the 50mm offset wheels, an adjustable panhard bar, and a BFH 315/35r17 is about the max, and remember, some tires are larger than others with the same advertised size.

as for the panhard bar I have the factory adjustable one off of the 97 anniversary with my rear.. Now you say I should get the LS1 Rims.. That good I was wanting to know the specs of some rims that I could put on my car. 275's for the front to much with LS1 rims on the front to? Anyone put LT1 rims an there car and run 315/35r17's.. I'm gonna try and run that same size but only in a Goodyear Eagle F1..

I have basically the same question just reversed. I have an additional set of 91 Z28 rear wheels, which are the same ones that are on the RS now. As most of you know the fronts are a different offset than the rears. SO anyway I also have a 96Z28 that is going to the shop to get a new trans and stall. With the stall I will need sticky tires, which I will put on the extra pair of rear 91 wheels. My question; Whould it be possible to get the 3rd gen wheels on my 96Z to save me $? I am going to get Et streets for the wheels and would love the versitility of switching the rear wheels b/t the two cars. However I am not sure if and/or how to do it. Could some one please set me straight?

The 4th gen wheels won't fit without spacers on the front.
I had clearance issues with my 4th gen rear, 4th gen wheels and 275s. I had to roll the fender lip. You can get more tire under there but you will probably have to keep the car at stock ride height.
