Like Henry suggested, Spruell is the place to buy Panasports. You can check size and offsets by what Moss lists for our TR3s. 
15x5.5 wheels are the rule for vintage racing, but 15x6 will work too and many run the 6s without a problem from the race group. 185-65-15 tires will just clear on the rear fenders, the fronts aren't usually a problem. 205-60s will contact the rear fenders slightly, so a slight amount of rolling the fender will do. It's best to have a pro do the rolling before painting with a wire in the roll.

I'm interested in hearing the responses. 

I'm sure it's been said, but did you roll the fenders?
