Right now my 13 Challenger R/T is sitting at my brothers 2-car garage. I have it parked at an angle so he can get the snowblower out, so It would be extremely difficult to buy FlatStoppers and park it on them. I have Yokohama Avid Envigor tires 20"

Are there ANY other solutions to prevent tire flat spots?

Routinely inflatting my tires ?
Driving my car a few inches to "rotate" my tire?

I'm not really sure how safe it would be to put my car on jack stands. Especially for about 4 months and there are two kids there.

Raidials now a days don't get the flat spots like belted tires use to get years ago. They will flatten a bit, but they come back after a few miles once they get warmed up. I found this out the first time I stored a car for the winter.

I would inflate the tires up to 40psi and lower them in the spring.

My Friend bought four cheap styrofoam coolers one year for a few bucks each, cut out the bottoms, and parked on those. Worked fine

I inflated my tires to the max listed on the tire side wall one year but I did not do that last year and after a few miles I didn't feel the flat spot anymore. My Challenger is driven sparsely at best so every time I drive it it feels like there are flat spots.
I am more concerned about using a battery tender during storage than about the tires. Enjoy the Journey! Lou.

I've parked my 09 Challenger for 5 winters now and done nothing but make sure the tires were aired up to 37PSI and put on a Battery Tender. No problems, tires are fine, original battery is still going. By spring the tires will be down to about 36 PSI where I normally run them.
