If it's going to be a hardtail why even use a swingarm...just rebuild the tail however wide you need it to be in steel tubing. You will have to get an offset sprocket to maintain chain line. If you do search for the offset sprocket you will find info

I'm not familiar with the 550's, but with tools and some skill, you can make anything work. As for the chain alignment, there are several companies that have either off the shelf offset counter sprockets or can make a custom one for you. It really comes down to how wild you want to get and how deep your pockets are. Do some searches and see what you like and read up on others experiences. I don't know what your building/ fabrication experience is, but judging by your post I'd say you're new to this. Right now, your best tool is information.
