Don't "rip up" these drums -- too pricey plus hub & drum changeover.....

The center supports are the same, but the backing plates are different for 11x2 vs 11x2.5. Ron |

If you think about it, the extra width of the wider brake drum has to go inward toward the center of the axle...accordingly, the backing plate has to "wrap" inward to accommodate the wider shoe. |
