That's what he SAID, but I suspect (I hope?) that he meant that the wheels
have a 3.5" backspace -- which means that they'd have no offset at all. I
don't know whether 7"-wide wheels will fit on a TR3 without interference,
but wide wheels lead to wide tires, which lead to high cornering forces and
broken axles.
And that's most _definitely_ a poor idea.
