Ditto.

suggestion.... check out Rota RB wheels  MUCH cheaper than the 
Panasports and MUCH lighter, also DOT legal!
https://www.18racing.com/collections/rb?page=4 
<https://www.18racing.com/collections/rb?page=4>Sharper lines on the 
spokes, colors avail....

kinda' sucks (the web site) not as easy to find the fitment as before 
but the number is this the wheel size, you just need to find the right PCD


nfi, just a very happy customer. Had them on my Miatas, my MG, my 
Triumphs, even almost put them on my Vette!   :-)

      I run 205/ 60 R15 tires on a TR4A which is lowered 1 inch with no
      rubbing issues. They are mounted on 6" Panasport wheels. I'm
      thinking your problem was wheel offset related and not the tire
      size. I'm aware of several others who also run this size on TR250
      and TR6 cars as well.

          Nice. I think the 205s were just too much fir a 4a. I was
          concerned
          the 165 would be too narrow on a 6 inch rim and 185s are a lot

          &gt;&gt; List:<br>
          &gt;&gt; I am refreshing my 72k orig mile 67 TR4A IRS. Decided
          to
          put on a new set<br>
          &gt;&gt; of Dayton wire wheels for a Triumph TR250 or TR6.
          These
          are the BEST wire<br>
          &gt;&gt; wheels out there and still Made in America! 72 spoke,
          15 x
          6 inch TUBELESS<br>
          &gt;&gt; design. You do not need inner tubes. I bought these
          for my
          Triumph TR4A but<br>
          &gt;&gt; they did not look right (too wide) and actually
          caused a
          rubbing of the top<br>
          &gt;&gt; center front inner fender that cut a groove in the
          new
          tire. Didn't effect<br>
          &gt;&gt; the wire wheel. I was surprised as these say they fir
          the
          250. I decided<br>
          &gt;&gt; to dismount the tires since the the 4A has 4.5 inch
          rim
          width but I thought<br>
          &gt;&gt; these would be ok on a 4A.<br>
          &gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt; I installed new tires on them and put them on the 4A
          and
          drove 1 mile and<br>
          &gt;&gt; back into the garage. Took them off and had tires
          dismounted. They have no<br>
          &gt;&gt; scratches or curb rash and look like they did when
          they
          came out of the<br>
          &gt;&gt; original Dayton boxes. Still have the red stickers on
          the
          front of wheel<br>
          &gt;&gt; that are to be removed by tire dealer. Unfortunately,
          my
          tire install shop<br>
          &gt;&gt; threw the boxes away so I do not have them anymore.
          They
          will come in the<br>
          &gt;&gt; Rota alloy wheel boxes that I got when I bought new
          15"
          alloys for my<br>
