No, they will not fit with out some (extensive) modifications.
Food for thought, the OEM rims were 14x6 on your '68 coupe.

10.5"s might work in the rear of a 68, I am using 10.5"s in the rear of my 70 with a 7/16" hubcentric spacer. I am running 8" on the front with a 1" hubcentric spacer and think you would have a problem with the UBJ with a 9" rim.
