They're also bringing out a 185/65/15, wouldn't that be a better fit for
the TR3?  Don

Might take some fiddling, but I ran 205/55-15 on my street TR3A under
"stock"
bodywork on steel TR6 wheels.  I never did quite get the rear axle
square to the
body, so one rear tire would rub lightly under hard cornering, but
different
offset wheels would have fixed that.  Still had 3/8" or maybe 1/2"
clearance to
the frame in the rear.  A Panhard rod would have solved the problem too.
In the
front, they would rub the sway bar when parking, until I closed up the
steering
stops a bit.  Shouldn't be a problem on the track, or a different sway
bar would
fix it.
