Great tip on the sprocket from Talon. Thank you. :thumbup I didn't know that you could do that. I'll definitely need one of those.
Rather than cut down the spacers on the frame I was going to cut down the swing arm as there is enough metal there to remove. Not sure how to do it, hoping the tutor at my welding class can advise. That way if the swing arm doesn't work I can try another. I had thought about some inserts and may use them, but I'm going o try and find the correct size roller bearings with smaller inside diameter to take the standard spindle.
Are you able to explain the offset to me please, as per below?

If so the wheel I plan to use is about 10mm wider taking that measurement. Just a quick check with a tape measure, nothing highly accurate.
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!
