I also use 215/70-15 Pirelli P4000's on stock wheels. They don't rub,
they look good and feel good on the road. I don't think they will be
compatible with some rear shock conversions but I have no problems with
the stock suspension front and rear on this 1974.5 TR6.

I run the 215/70's on original steel wheels. Honestly, they're a bit too
wide, and I get finder rub when backing up and turning. No doubt my
front suspension is pretty lose, but I'll drop back to the 205/70's next
time. I also get a little to much rubber debris on the lower rear
quarter after a long run.
