you don't need an adapter to move it out if using aftermarket rims, but longer bump stops on the tailgate are needed, I put my 35" Falken on mine but it seemed like alot of weight for the stock carrier and tailgate
oh and the Falkens are very quiet on the road

Goodyear DuraTrac/Kelly Safari TSR/Fierce Attitude MT are all related to each other. They are "cousins" if you want to call it that.
Our of the 3, the Kelly has the best overall tread pattern IMO. The lugs in the center bite harder than the Goodyear, but the outer lugs are also siped unlike the Attitude.
So I went Kelly, and I can't wait to get them on my Jeep.

I've had the Falkens now rocking the Duratracs. Falkens are quit but the Duratracs are just a tad louder with a much more aggressive look.
Big thing is..
Falkens weigh in at a whopping 78lbs per tire on the 35s and measure to a 33
Duratracs weigh in at 62lbs on the 35s and measure 34 & 1/4th

I've put about 20,000 miles on my Duratracs (315/75R16), and through every terrain you can think of. Absolutely love the tire. Great traction on rock, wet or dry, absolutely awesome in snow and mud (pulled out a big UPS truck stuck in snow last winter), and great manners on road, not too stiff or bouncy when set at proper psi for your rig. Way quieter than I expected, judging from the tread pattern and depth. Only thing that has claimed a tire so far was a .40 S&W (long story).
My only complaint is it's not available in 37", so I'll have to switch tires in the future when I'm ready. Well, and at load range E, aired down to about 12psi they still don't flex and flatten out as well as, say, a range C tire would. If I had beadlocks, I could go way lower....probably 5-8psi easy.

Kelly's
I put 315/70/17 kelly safari tsr's on my factory wheels. Love them!!! Not any louder that factory in my opinion. My roommate had duratracs on his Discovery and he always says he would have put kelly's on instead. Just my two cents. Oh, and I have about 7k on them with one rotation at 4k and they are wearing even and look new.
