Fifth, since I questioned whether or not I used the "swing axle" term correctly, is
there a site with a good description of the different rear suspensions? Maybe on Paul

Is the tire selection pool larger or smaller than 4.5" rims with these 5" rims?
What size tires would I put on these?
I currently have 175/70-13s on my 4.5" rims...

Would that be the best of both worlds? Oh, and when I install the points

so) with something "lower"? I don't want the high voltage burning up the
