Steven Newell has clarified things.
He said:
I run stock 165R15s. On a TR4 the gap between top of tire and fender lip is
normally higher in the back than in the front. Makes them look kind of
tipped-down. A TR4A with IRS looks squatter in the back, and if someone's used
to that then the TR4 won't look right.
His car has a height of 27 1/2 inches to the top of the fender lip (centre of
the wheel arch).
He runs stock 165 tyres, I run 185/80's which are 1.3 inches larger in
diameter. Mine is 27.7 once you compensate for the size of my larger tyres.
There will be a TR4 at the next national gathering in March so I will probably
hang fire until I see it.
