I am the original poster, and Blake promptly emailed me with this theory
last night. And yes, this is quite plausible. The car has wire wheels. I
haven't removed the wheels yet (its my son's car and I'm making sure he is
involved in the work at hand), but the distance from the rims to the brake
drums looks like its a bit further than it should be, maybe due to the hub
position.
