If you change tire sizes, you will need a new 15" wheel with the same lug pattern, of course. The pattern is called "5 on 4-1/2", and it is very common. Be sure it is rated for at least 65 psi.

For lift kit installation, check out Bill Miller's article in the TM Tech Library

Strictly speaking, if you are upgrading the tire size, you don't have to upgrade the spare. If you have a flat and need to put on the spare, you probably won't be traveling very far before you want to fix the flat. Driving without a spare is unnerving, to me anyway. The TM has no problem with mixed tire sizes, so if you have a good 14-inch tire and wheel, you can save the cost of replacing them. One other advantage? Although a 15 inch spare will fit on the rack intended for a 14 incher, it is quite difficult to lift the rack into place.
