Something to remember here is before Nitto started giving away (sponsoring YT’ers) tires to push sales two of the most popular tires was the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro and BFG. Yeah BFG‘s are a tad under size compared to the some of the others and have less tread depth than especially the Cooper but they’ve always handled well and they’re well made tires. A little bit newer to the market would be Mickey Thompson Baja boss MT. Last time I was in a tire store I was actually told that Mickey Thompson bought Cooper so they may integrate some of the same technology.
The only place I was able to find it was Discount Tire and they had to go round some up from different stores for me. I have Nitto Trail Grapplers MT 37x12.50x20 they make a 38” has no problem with Dana 44 Axels re-geared to 5.13s. Poke is probably around 1/2”. A lot of states don’t allow tires to poke much past the fenders if at all, something to keep in mind. Mine are plenty big & plenty tough looking, great stance & a decent ride too.
If they enforce it you will get a ticket, what's legal in one state maybe Illegal in another. With mine they poke slightly but it's not enough you're going to notice from a distance.
What wheels and back spacing are you running to get 1/2 poke? What arms are you running and are you experiencing any rub?
