Default Rear backing plates delima

I am trying to determine just why I can not get the rear hubs on my fully assembled rear backing plates.

When the backing plates are assembled to the rear axle and the brake wedges are fully bottomed out...the hubs will not go on.

I do not want to force them as I probably will not get them off.

Every part was looked at for quality, length, what ever.

The only thing on each backing plate that worries me is that I removed the old worn out tracks and put new ones on.

Brake pads are standard thickness...not oversized BUT one would think so but not.

So my question is this...if any of you are at this point...just what is the diameter of the assembled rear backing plate from brake shoe to brake shoe?

IF the repro tracks are to high, not standard, would that cause the shoes to protrude out just enough to not allow the hubs to go on?

Thanks.
