VL Walkinshaw wheels

[se5a]

Hi Guys, I have a standard VL Executive. I have a set of genuine Walkinshaw wheels I would like to fit but I have a problem. They fit the front OK but the rear wheel spokes hit the brake drum before the wheel meets the axle. I think they are meant for a disc brake rear end. Is there any way I can fit these wheels to a drum brake rear end? If I buy the spacers with the studs,will the wheels still clear the rear guards? Thanks for any help. Regards Col

Hi mate, did you get a response to this question about fitting Walkinshaw rims to rear drums brakes? Have some ready to put on now but I want to get out of a rear disc brake conversion if possible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Nathan

His one and only post so unlikely to get a response.
