I have 15x7 wheels with 215/60x15 tires on my street TR6. Don't know what
the back spacing for the wheels is. They are not Panasports, but are wheels
that were sold to fit TR's by a now defunct California outfit called Dolphin
Coventry Conversions, who claimed back then to be TR specialists. I bought
the wheels in the 70's, and until I picked up my TR4 in 92, I had never seen
another set of them. They do have a strong resemblence to 15x7 Shelby wheels
that someone in our club has on his car. The only clearance problem I had
was when there were adhesive wheel balance weights on the inside of the rim.
The tie rod ends actually cut a groove through the lead. Other than that, no
problems in over 20 years.
