Simple wheel question
On a 94 is there a difference in front and the back wheels. I know they are directional. I’m getting new tires on my wheels, and I am getting the correct sizes for the front and rear. And since my wheels are on backwards now. I want to make sure I get them correct. thanks for being patient with new 94 owner.

The base suspension has 17 x 8.5" wheels on the front and 17 x 9.5" wheels on the rear. The use 255/45/17 tires front and 285/40/17 tires rear.
The Z07 suspension has 17 x 9.5" wheels all around and uses 275/40/17 tires all around.

I have the base suspension. when I decoded my RPO sheet I got front tires 255-45Z R17 and rear tires are 285-40Z R17. I hope that is correct

The tire shop probably won't let you into the service area when they're mounting the tires but tell the service manager that the wheels are clearly marked with their size. If you're sure which wheel goes on which corner mark the correct location on the old tires with chalk. Tell to the manager that you expect the tires to be mounted properly and the wheels in the correct location and if not he's only going to have to do the job again.
