Me too. I wasn't able to find a wheel that would both fit the studs and
clear the front calipers (on a TR3A), so wound up using a stock TR3 wheel
(which would also fit a TR6), with a "compact spare" tire mounted on it.
T135D15 as I recall ($10 from the local junkyard, including the wheel that
didn't fit).
Although significantly shorter than the stock tires, it should still work OK
for temporary use at low speeds.
(I drove about 100 miles at speeds around 75 mph on mine with no problems,
but I don't necessarily recommend that <G>)
