Default Tires on stock 2010

Wondering what is the largest tire that can be put on a stock 2010 ranger without rubbing? I was told 33" "skinny tires" (285/70-15) would be best. Not sure if that size exists? I'm just looking to get a little more clearance without breaking the bank or doing a lift kit. I was also told that the 33" tires on jeeps are expensive and thus the "skinny" saves money and would be fine for what i need. Any input? Or knowledge on this?

Some off-roaders prefer skinny tires over wides, for various performance reasons.
And, Jeeps need to push their tires out a ways (wheel spacers or new rims with different backspacing) when they go to 33x12.50's, to keep from rubbing when they turn. My TJ rubbed just a tiny bit with 31x10.50's.

Looking for skinny 33's may limit your tire choices, I wouldn't know about the price difference. Check tirerack.com

Note that a 2004 with t-bars sit about 2" higher than a 2010 with t-bars do to different keys look up the pre key mod

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what the pre key talk is all about. I will have to look it up. I'm new to all this right now. I come from a street bike/dirt bike background. So I'm trying to make the adjustment.

The pre key mod takes a stock torsion key from a 2001-2007 and put them on a 2008-2011 it gives about 2" of lift

No, because cranking his tbars will put him at your stock height.

You will need longer shocks if you do the pre key mod.

nope. same shocks. adding the pre keys isnt actually a lift persay but more of ride height adjustment.
