 I plan on indenting the
swing arm

On mine, the wheel was laced "out of dish" so that a 5.10X16 would fit.
Then, the brake anchor rod needs to be modified with a jog to fit the other
side. I think the brake anchor mod is easier and less permanent than the
swingarm mod. I eventually went back to a stock wheel and tire because it
handled better that way.
