Agreed. I ran 275/40/18's on my '68 convertible for years.
With 9.5" wide wheels and a 5.5" BS, I seldom had rubbing issues.

I carefully trimmed & rolled the outer lips, and still kept the chrome wheel well moldings. I ran Hotchkis springs too- i rubbed on the inside fender well near the frame rail pulling into sharp driveways & gas stations as the car's suspension articulated. Only enough to fade away the black paint.

Note ride height for clearance. 1967-8 Camaros have different clearance concerns than 1969's. The problem usually lies in clearance at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions- that's one reason why the wheelwell was stretched for '69s.
