Friends,
The front fenders on a TR3 have a rolled in wire from the factory. It's a nice
touch to copy this on the rears. Jeff Snook's TR3 is like this and I will copy
this soon. Doing this will eliminate tire clearance issues.

Dave, you mentioned what was on my mind ? it?s been decades since I owned a TR3
but I did restore a ?56 and my recollection is that there is just a rolled edge
with a wire in it on a TR3, not folded metal that will push out of the way.

Like Henry suggested, Spruell is the place to buy Panasports. You can check
size and offsets by what Moss lists for our TR3s.
15x5.5 wheels are the rule for vintage racing, but 15x6 will work too and many
run the 6s without a problem from the race group. 185-65-15 tires will just
clear on the rear fenders, the fronts aren't usually a problem. 205-60s will
contact the rear fenders slightly, so a slight amount of rolling the fender
will do. It's best to have a pro do the rolling before painting with a wire in
the roll.

I'm interested in hearing the responses.
I'm sure it's been said, but did you roll the fenders?
