Nissan Repair: brakes, rear drum brakes, hub diameter


Question
Just bougth a 1994 nissan 4x4 for my son.The man that had the truck befor me put on some cheavy rims, and when you go to take off the rear drum brakes are making a lot of noise.It seems to me like the rims are not tighting up to the rim. Never had a problem like this before. Need help.

Answer
Keith,

It is important to have the holes match on the hub and the studs.  if the rims are Chevy they will not fit correctly.  I think you need to remove the spare and check it against the rims on the truck.  The spare should have the correct hole pattern and center hub diameter.  Check it against the ones on the truck and email me back.
