Hi David;
YES! TR6 rims definitely work on a TR3A. I have owned five sidescreen TR's
and all of them have had TR6 wheels fitted, either wire or steel. I
believe, and this can be debated for ages for there are many who disagree,
that
they are an excellent upgrade. I strongly believe that the wider tyres the
TR6 wheels afford, give better braking and safer emergency avoidance.
I can't tell you if that tyre size will work. I have usually fitted
195/65-15 and not had a problem. I have heard of people fitting 185/70-15 with
no
problems. The size you refer to may well work, although they may also be a
bit tall for optimum clearance, I'm not sure. Part of the problem is that
it's almost a case that no two cars were built identically; there were
tolerances. I've known of people who fit the tyre size that I use and they've
had clearance problems, for instance.
If it were my decision, I'd go for the TR6 rims and if tyre clearances are
an issue, fit either 185/70-15 or 195/65-15. The wider tyres do not
increase steering weight noticeably, incidentally.
