Finned vs smooth brake drum

One more concern; does anyone KNOW for sure if the finned 9" front drum will fit in an early 13" rim? Not really into ordering another thing that does not fit.
You might run into the same clearance problem that I mentioned when using early 13" wheels with the later 10" brakes. You would need to get outside measurements of both to compare and to see if you even have a chance at them working.
