need immediate drum brake help

[65fastback2+2]

i got new front drum brake shoes and they are 1/4 inch wider than the old ones. they still fit in the drum. should i take em back and get ones the same width or will these work?

did you have your drums turned? If you didn't, I'd get them turned. Do the new shoes fit fully inside the drums or do they hang out a bit?

the drums are fine, and they dont hang out, they sit in like 1/2 inch

I'd just make sure they were turned then. Then you should be fine.
