I just bought 15X10 Weld wheels and when I tried to install, the diameter of drum would not allow the wheel to slide on. The drums are 11 inch and interfere by about 1/2 inch diameter. Has anyone run into a similar problem? I have a 10 inch front drum from a previous car and it drops right in. I suppose I could try to find a 10 inch set-up but that won't be easy and I thought I'd ask here first. Thanks, Steve
