You also need to marry that wheel to that drum buy marking it and always keeping them together (Catholic marriage?? haha)…
Frankly, I think the stock KH set up with the 225/70R14 tire is an excellent wheel and drum system..
I once saw a 67 Bonneville that was all black with black 8 lug wheels and drums, no beauty rings.. All you saw was the chrome lugs and center cap. It was one of the coolest cars I ever saw in my life!

Who is roger? drums cut with the wheel on it? never heard that in 30 years of 8 lugs. need to marry a wheel and drum? then how do you rotate the tires. Drums were balanced at the factory also tire& wheel so you could rotate the tires . In the 60's they had spin balancing on the car and a special adapter plate just to balance wheel and tire off the car because the drum was already balanced. Sound like there are a few problems with your set-up.
