Hi,

I concur with Chris Moore about tire size. 225-50/15 and 7 inch rims will 
fit with no problem on a TR6. Note: they will lower your car a bit, on my 
car my 225-55/15's lower the car about 1.5 inches from the other tires 
that I use, 215-70/15 (my street tires).

As for the Rick Cochran 'glass fenders: I need to add that the fenders 
that he offers are not exact repros of the stock TR6 fenders. In his 
words, "they are like the fenders on Fletcher Williams' TR6". Think of 
them as "IMSA flare" style. They might not give you the look that you 
want for a street machine, then again, they might. ;-)

I have heard from a variety of sources that unless you like to spend a 
lot of time "fitting" your fenders, 'glass jobbies might not be the way 
to go. I have seen sets of stock appearing TR6 fenders at Carlisle, PA, 
but I have not idea who the source is.

regards,
rml
