Jeff, the recommendation you asked for on Speedster tire selection for a
TR3 depends on several things, like your rim width and offset, front
swaybar interference possibility at full turn left or right, how wide of a
spacer you have or need to run on the front and back, rear fender lip
treatment requirements, leaf spring clearancing, rear axle width if you
have the "Southwick conversion", how much have you lowered your car from
stock ride height, tire pressure, etc. The minimum rim width for the 205 is
5.5 inches.
I can tell you that 205/60 15 Speedsters do fit (barely) on my TR3 but all
the things I mentioned had to be addressed. I do have a slight amount of
tire rub on the leaf springs if the tire pressure is lowered to the mid
20s. You may also see uneven tire wear from inside to outside with the 205s
vs. the 185s because the tire is rolling under with the 5.5 inch rim. The
205 is a better fit with a wider rim. I also know that John Hasty uses
205s but not sure about what he needed to do for clearancing or his wheel
selection.
