Brake drums won't fit HELP! (pics)

Did you switch to a 4.5 inch bolt pattern and just drill out the drums? I think I have read that the big bolt pattern axles have a larger register to center the drum and wheel. I"m picking up an 8.75 tomorrow and think I will have the same issues in a week or two!

Yeah.

Someone drilled them out as well as the axles to convert from 4" to 4.5". I'm actually cleaning up their mess. They ran bolts through the axles and then spot welded them on the back.
