I'm thinking towards a car tire

And I am not even a Darksider, yet, Dan!

YET! Just a matter of time!

I may have been that Darkie that mentioned that. After I serviced my swing arm I mounted a 205/60-16. To get this behemoth on I had to mate the rear drive to the wheel hub first. Then I attached the wheel and the rear drive to the swing arm and torqued it and after that torqued the axle. That pulled the drive shaft tube into the tire! WRONG WAY FOOL!!!! :'(

So that being said, the right way is to finger tighten your rear drive to you swing arm first, lower your bike until the rear wheel is just resting on the floor, then torque your axle. Torque your rear drive last.
