Total cost for labor, tires, mounting, and wheels was ~$500. I'd much rather pay an extra $100-$150 now than change another tire in 100 degree heat and waste 6 hours on a trip.

You probably already have the lift kit installed.

Dave, after seeing one of the members trying to put 15" tires on his 1998 TM( I think) and not having enough clearance it scared me. I have a 2000 TM same as yours and installed the left kit. I checked the frame location and it only sets back about 1/2" from the edge of the wheel well. Do you think I will have trouble making them fit?
