Big tires can rub on the frame side too, at full lock turning.
So don't forget to look for that
 
These are 15"x8" 8 lug wheels on one ton axles with 15/38.5-15" Boggers.

Grinding a Dana 60 for 15" wheels is a LOT of grinding. A 3/4 ton Dana 44/GM 10 bolt requires very minimal grinding, and is no risk to the brake components.

I concur. I have ground on both, Dana 60 is time intensive.
I then found (of course) that sky's off-road make a bracket for the Dana 60 to run 10 bolts brakes.
 
The hard decision is that buying 15x8 wheels and tires is cheaper than buying new 37 MT tires...x

On discounts site I don't see any tire that's that big 37 with wheel size of 15..

The biggest tire is 35 for a 15 wheel.

Some shops will baulk for sure. I had a shop tell me they couldn't mount my tires because they couldn't install load range c tires on a truck with eight lug axles. By law blah blah it needs to be low range d or e.
But...the guy called my truck a bronco so I knew I was in the wrong place.
 
No that 13.5 would look good IMO. What tire is that? With your 9-in wide wheel it would be perfect.
And I second what @Truckman4life said, the Toyo MT's are stupid heavy.
So my brain thinks that I want some beef in an offroad tire. Better protection. ??
I actually have a set of Toyos. I like them, but I don't have much experience with other brands, besides old BFGs.
 
A customer had these 35x12.5x20 on their jeep. I think they said Open Country.

As much as I'd like to get the 15x8 etc. The 37's look at big and bulging on that wheel. Also, It seems far easier to just get the cooper sst pro. I'm not 100% decided yet.

After seeing this type of tire up close, it's a must to get this MT style on my blazer. The AC can wait for the c10. But we'll see
