Hi Terry,
Yes, the Panasports will fit the stock studs on a TR3. I
ordered mine out of Moss Motors a few years back and installed Vredestein
185/70R15 with no issues. A touch wider than the stock tire size but they
filled the fender wells quite nicely without going overboard. I've been very
happy with the Vredesteins on my street TR3A. There are photos of my black
TR3A on my website www.pennridgemotors.com <http://www.pennridgemotors.com>
There is also a Firestone F560 tire available in the stock size that is less
money, has the right vintage look in my opinion. I have mounted a couple of
sets of these for customer cars. They handle well due to a soft treadwear
rating.

Subject: [Fot] Panasport Wheel Question...
Folks,
I am considering replacing the old 15x6 Revolution wheels on my street TR3.
The 6? width is just a bit much for the old girl and I have to run ? inch
spacers to clear some various bits on the inside of the fender wells. They
were originally for TR6s as I recall, and I purchased them from American
Revolution decades ago on close out.
So I?m thinking about going to the 5.5? Panasports as the are the narrowest
allow wheel I know of currently on the market.
My question is, will the Panasports work with the stock TR3 wheel studs?
My TR3 is strictly a street car and so I do not run the big Moroso wheel
studs like the competition cars do.
I wish there was a 5? wide wheel, but that is not the case. Also wondering
about tires. I want to stick with 165-15s as they are the correct size and
fit under the fenders as they should, trouble is there are so few good tires
in that size anymore. Only ones I am aware of that are remotely good are
the Vredestein Sprints, any others worth a look?
Thanks.
