So I have these Revolution wheels - fit em up and they are pretty tight. Not much room between the inner edge of the wheel and the leaf springs in the rear. So, then I thought - well, maybe someone else has already solved this problem...………. what tire size do you recommend? Maybe a small spacer? But I don't what to flare it out.

Any ideas, thoughts or comments?
 
Your tire wall will bulge out beyond the rim lip as well. Most likely you will need a wheel spacers, longer wheel studs, and a panhard bar.
 
The Winners Circle for wheel spacers and longer wheel studs.
 
I have the VTO wheels that look the same. On them I run 175/70 13s. Many of the "all season " tires (just about all that's available in this size) have square shoulders that rub, but of late I found a set of Pirelli CN36s that fit and run perfectly. I got them from LONGSTONE TYRES out of England, but they are available from some U.S. suppliers.
