Mark the rear Cragars in the photo are 3.75 BS not 4.50. Ratpack, Troy C built the car. Never take what Hot Rod says as accurate. They just wrote an article saying the first CC Street machine Nat's was 1977 when in fact it was 1972.

You cannot run 4.50 BS 10" Cragars with N-50 size tires on a Camaro as it will rub the springs-you can 10" with 4.50 BS with L60's though (P275-60-15). You can also run N50's on a Camaro with 8" wheel deep dish 2.50BS

The fronts are 15×4.5, while the rears come in at 15×10 inches with 4.5 inches of backspacing. When you consider the 26×7.5- and 28×12.50-inch Mickey Thompson rubber, this combination would’ve been a car guy’s dream in the early ’70s.
