I'm trying to put use some 16 inch spoke rims on the vehicle. but the brake drums are wider then the hub on the rims. Does any one know what brake drums will work with these rims? Thank you for your time Attached Images

I had the same problem fitting them to my 1934 Master Roadster with 1937 hydraulic brakes. I got around it by making up 3/8'' wide spacers and using longer wheel studs. RonDaw
