Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there know what size / dimension of tire can fit on a 2.5 lift, uncut ,1975 Ford bronco. I just got some original Ford steelies painted and trying to find a good LUBR tire size for my bronco. Any suggestion?

Presumably the wheels are the 15" variety, rather than the fairly rare 16's?
If so, the most common tire size I think we usually see is a 31x10.50. You really don't want to go any wider than that, usually, on a wheel that's only 5.5 to 6 inches wide anyway.
You could do a 235 or 245, or in a pinch, even a 255 metric tire size. But not sure what aspect ratios are best.
But my feeling is that anything less than a 31 or, say, maybe a 245/70/15(?) would look too small on a Bronco with 2.5" of lift.
Even an uncut Bronco

I had 32 x 11 50s on my stock height bronco. But the rear was already cut and it would’ve been a tight fit no matter what wheel you put it on, if it hadn’t been cut.

I am running 33x10.5 on factory ford slots with 3.5” of suspension lift. No body lift. Not exactly what you are after but a data point and a combination that seems to work (for me at least)

2.5" lift with 1" body lift. I will be running 32x11.5 on mine. These fit well, but I moved my axle back 1". Plenty of room around the tire, even after I put the top on. I was going to roll my quarters, but I don't think I will need to.

Thank you for a place to gauge off of

34x9.5 TSL swampers fit my 3.5" lift and fill that front wheel well nicely. I think I can fit a 33x10.5 as I'd like to go wider. So 1" less lift, I'd start with a 32x10.5 and see how it mocked up.

Looks good!

Not a 15 but just thought I'd add. I have a 66 uncut with a 2.5" lift. 255/75/17 fits nicely.
Pics would be good if you have the time. I'm a fan of uncut Broncos and 66 is my favorite look due to no side marker lights.
