You could also run 9.5" all the way around if you wanted.
FYI, 9-10.5" is the manufacturer's wheel width specs for a 265/40/18 tire... so it would not be recommended to put them on an 8" wheel.

All good advice but a 4" b/s on an 8" wide wheel will push the tires too much into the fenders.I bought that same set-up from a friend who mis-ordered them for his '69 Camaro and they are too close to the fenders for my tastes.I am really looking for something wider so I may sell these and upgrade to 9.5" fronts & 11" rears:
Same car with 18/20's...think I'm selling those too:
