I'm installing a 5.5 inch Duff lift on my Uncut 75 this weekend. Looking for anyone with a similar setup for tire/wheel suggestion. Thank you!

Lots of tire height options. Most people run either a 2.5 or 3.5" with a 1" body lift. Are your goals 34x10.5?

You'll need a wheel about 7-8" wide to fit under the back. I would think a maximum of a 10-10.5" width is all you can get under the back without narrowing your axle. Height anywhere from tiny to 34-35 maybe even a 36 if they make them that narrow.
For backspace you'll need at least 4-5" to fit under the rear. Those are my best guesses.

BFG used to make a 33x9.50 MT. Not sure if they still do, but always thought that tire looked good on an uncut lifted.

This looks pretty bad with 5.5" lift and 35/12.5/15's on factory steel wheels:

I have a 3.5 inch lift right now with 285/70/17 tire. The wheel is a Black rock 17x8 with 4.50 in. Backspacing. Looks awesome and my tires clear in the rear! The tires clear in the front also, I'm just losing a little bit of my turning radius since im using the stock radius arms. Ill be installing 5.5 inch lift in a couple days. But as of now, the Bronco is totally drivable with the 3.5 inch lift. The picture has the 3.5 inch lift.

With a 5.5" lift I would run the new 34x10.5x17 BFG all terrain with a 17x8.5 w/ 4.75" backspacing.

You need to post more pics of your bronco! You are being super stingy with only four posts since 2015. I like the rocker guards, always wondered how it would look on an uncut bronco with your lift. Please add more pics!

Mine only has a 3.5" lift but 3" body so probably pretty close to what yours would end up like. Cut in the front but not in the rear. I have 33x12.5R15 on it. Not sure of the offset on the rims sorry. I just barely touch the rear fender lip when I flex it. Its on my list to fold it in but after taking it offroad a few times the lip has started to fold itself in.

I have a 3.5" duffs lift uncut and run 34x9.5 swampers. I think I can get a 10.5 under there maybe, will try next time, cause these are pizza cutters for sure.

Gosh you are lucky, I couldn't clear the 285 without narrowing and causing all sorts of issues that I have been fixing. Mine clear great now, but I don't see my bronco doing it any other way.

Do you have rear disc brakes? Maybe since I have drum brakes in the rear it gave me more room without having to make any modifications.

The wheel and tire combination clears the fender

Here I have a jack under axel and the tire tucks in nicely without any fender contact.

Same lift setup as the inquiry? Or a different height?
