I have a '91 Trooper that I wanted to do this with to give it a wider wheel base and maybe the illusion of fat tires.

It will alter the wheel offset. This will put extreme loads on the bearings and rapidly cause failure. Not fun when a wheel assembly flies off at speed!

With 99.99% percent of rims, it is not even possible to do so. The only cars I've seen it done on were the old 50's and early 60's VW's with those strange wheels they used to use.
If you ARE able to do it, the results will be catastrophic.

I used to work with tires working at a Firestone and Goodyear stores, and for 1, there's no tread on the inside of the tires, and there is no way possible to turn the tires inside out without breaking the bead that goes around the rim. Because if you turn it inside out, you would destroy that bead, and the tire would not seal against the rim.

You can't install wheels "inside out." They're not designed to do so. You can reverse tires through, like to hide a whitewall or hide raised lettering. You can rotate wheels to the front, too. I hope this answers, your question was somewhat confusing.

I don't think it would be good for the suspension.
