as suggested grinding can probably give you at least another 1/16

edit: but I do see your comment about the work to swap lugs!
Should be no need to remove axles to swap lugs though
Here are some pics. BTW, I don't have a stock rear end, with the Hallibrand quick change diff the axle shafts need to come out to get to the lugs.

and finally its worth mentioning, if you have the room for the extra 1" wider wheel to have the extra width all the way on the front side.... just get some 1.25" spacers and dont worry about new studs, it will move the wheel center out away from the caliper for about $50.
You didn't do a bad job at explaining, I did a bad job at understanding...LOL I get it now.......I think.

When you say 1.25" spacers do you mean something like this?
