They didn't fit because the front ones centre hole was too small and the rear ones wouldn't sit flat to the hub.

centre hole will need opening up,
you need to remove the 2 11mm
bolts in the drum to sit flat.

bolt holes might need opening up too.

If I remove the 11mm bolts from the drum, can they be left out?

Where would I get the holes increased for the front wheels? Would a standard garage be able to do this?
