Can I put 18" 9.5" C6 ZO6 Rims on my 1976 camaro without putting mini tubs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

with the correct backspacing, the rear will fit no problem. a 9.5" in the front is going to be a very tight fit even with ideal backspacing, assuming you have stock width front suspension

It also depends on what size tire you intend to run...if you stick with something in the 26" diameter range and no wider than a 285, then I don't think you'll have any issues. You'll need to run a wheel adapter (bolt-on spacer) which you can use to get your backspacing spot-on...make sure you take your rear disc brakes into consideration when caculating your current track width if you have discs or plan on upgrading at the same time.

Is the plan to run the 18x9.5 front C6 Z06 wheels front and rear or do you have something else in mind?

And I just realized they are 8.5" and they are 275 40 r18 tires

If they're only 8.5" wide, then they're not C6 Z06 wheels...are they repros? If so, do they have the C6 Z06 offset or the base level C6 offset?
