Hi Dave,
Not really identical to what you're looking for, but we have 205/60's (quite
a difference diameter-wise) on stock TR7 rims and lowered stiff springs on the
front, running about 3.5" of ground clearance. FWIW, we have no clearance
issues, except with the occasional high spot in the road ;-).
