r car must adhere to the 1972 GCR and PCS, which says 1 1/2=E2=80=9D over th=

a 2=E2=80=9D change in track that combined with the inch and a half wheel w=
idth adjustment does not exceed a 2=E2=80=9D wider track width. Most 6=E2=80=
=9D wheels add the extra width to the outside, using up all the allowable tr=
ack width, while the 5.5=E2=80=9D would use a spacer to get there. In my min=

ast, and for a TR3 that means your are limited at 5 1/2" width. When Bill De=
ntinger finally stopped running (and cracking!) his collection of ARE Silver=
stones on Old Blue, he put a set
of the 5 1/2 X 15 Panasports on the '56 TR3. He ran Hoosier Vintage TD's, a=
nd when I got the car I switched to Hoosier Speedsters. Knowing Jeff Snook w=
on a pair of Kastner Cups with his TR3A running 195X65R15 Speedsters, and re=
membering hearing Kas compliment
Jeff on his choice for tire size, I went with the narrower tire. It fits th=
e 5 1/2" wheel better, plus I don't have clearance issues with fenders.<br>

the spokes flexed so much you
could plainly see the rims and tires lagging behind! I wish we had cheap in=
