Default Another front drum / brake problem

So i'm down to my last corner of the new brake / drum installation.
I have a problem with the one front brake drum rubbing as I spin the hub. I discovered it's rubbing on the outer edge of the shoe(s). I sanded the lining flush with the edge of the metal bands and it's still rubbing.
I can eliminate the rub completely if I back off on the spindle nut, but then the hub has in and out play.
Would it be advisable to shim-out the inner wheel bearing race?
and if yes, do they make something specifically for that?

I thought it would be best to shim the race, rather than the bearing.

How else would you fix this?
