2011 2SS Camaro

I blew out the back right tire and they replaced it with this
245/45R20

This is the back left tire
245/45ZR20

For some reason my camaro had 245/45ZR20's on all 4 tires (guessing the dealership went cheap?)
Am I nitpicking here? it seems like a big difference, did they put it on wrong (NTB) ? maybe the tire doesnt fit?

Who is they? The dealership? If you've got OE wheels you should have 275/40/20's on the back, not 245's. Those look stretched onto a wheel a bit too wide for the tire.

NTB.

However, I bought this car used and all 4 tires are 245/45ZR20s (Which I assume is wrong)

Yea, it should be staggered, 245s in the front and 275s in the rear. They should have looked up your model and determined that when they serviced it. However, if it already had 245s, they probably assumed they should be matching what you already had.

Going to return this tire and get 275/40 on the back and keep my front tires.

Probably better that way.

Definitely - that's the way it's supposed to be.
