No concerns about the tire carrier not being reinforced?

How’s the drive compared to the stock wheels? Gearing an issue on the highway?

I believe the Rubicon model has some additional structural components that allow for 35s to be added, with no reinforcement
I inspected that at pick up and looked real solid
Plus kept same size wheel as factory, possibly saved weight
I was Shocked service guy was able to get the 3rd brake light over tire even higher
If I had moved to 37s & 18 wheels....then yes i would have reinforcement

That's the big question so far.
Only driven 30 miles.
These Falkens feel amazingly smoother than the stock K02
Wider wheelbase feel sits very comfortably. Love it

Was looking at those same tires but wasn't sure how the E rating would ride vs the C rated in the same size.

Looks better to me with the bigger tires even without the lift on a Rubicon. I have the next best thing on mine, E rated 315/70R17 Baja Boss M/T and I think it rides and handles fine.
