Default 8 Lug Drums

so i separated the original stock non 8 lug drum to new drum issue, i left it separated, if thats ok, so next please excuse the dumb question, i have access to a set of 15" 8 lug wheels and drums, is it possible to use rear 8 lug drums on the front if the hub is separated as well

The rear drums are narrower than the front drums so if for no other reason, rear drums will not fit on the front.

Not sure I understand the question, but the rear drum bolts to the axle flange using the traditional lug nuts; the front drum is a "spindle mount" and attaches via the bearings.

I think he's talking about separating the front hub from its drum, and then using a rear drum in its place. As stated above the rear drums aren't as wide so it won't work.
