Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

I just read through the whole thread, started out as understanding the issue (or so I thought) and then just got confused lol. So lemme see if I'm understanding this right. Are you saying that the center bore of your new wheels...

Won't go over the center hub of the rear drum?

If that's the case, that's an easy enough fix. Just need to open up the center bore of the wheel a touch or turn down the center hub of the brake drum.

That's not the issue at all.

Look at the pic in post#76. The wheel is 2 parts welded together, the barrel of the wheel and the wheel center. There are 4 welds that join the center to the barrel. In between the welds there are open areas. The wheel center on his new wheel is shaped a little differently than the center on a factory wheel. The factory wheel center fades away between the welds, the new one does not. See the small paint nicks about 3/8" from the end of each weld? Cutting back the raised portion of the lip between the welds provides the needed clearance. I bought the same wheels and made that simple mod, easy. Funny thing is at the time I thought about posting the issue and fix just in case anyone else ran into the same thing, I didn't, and BAM! Here we are.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see. Yeah that would be tedious but not terrible to remedy. It also looks like it hit the barrel of the wheel, hopefully that was just dropping it coming off or on at some point. If it's hitting the main barrel, that's a bigger problem

No, it won't hit the barrel. And the mod isn't visible from the outside of the wheel either. Small cutting wheel on an angle grinder is the best bet. then just a little clean up. In my introductory post someone asked about my 15x10s, and I noted the mod but didn't describe it at any length.

Kind of a bullsh!t remedy after spending how much on the wheels that were "supposed" to fit?????
