I have 205-65R15's on 72 spoke chrome Dayton wires. Same dimensions as TR6
wheels I believe. Even have rear tube shocks. No problems after 25K miles.
Only if I really crank the front wheels fully left or right does anything
rub, and then only slightly. Absolutely no rubbing on the rears.

Subject: [TR] Tire choices (TR4A w/ TR6 wheels)
Dave,
I just checked with a buddy who's running a TR4 with TR6 wheels. He was able
to use 205/65's but only because he's got adjustable Koni's up front (no
problems with that size in the rear). By using the Koni's set hard, he was
able to keep the tires from hitting the fender lip. Whether the compromise
is worth it is tough to say; pretty subjective.
