Re: Rear wheel fit
Can you turn the wheel in that position? Do you feel something scraping when you turn the wheel? If there is a scraping, your hub is hitting a bolt or the brake drum is hitting a brake shoe. Or maybe a thick aftermarket seal is keeping you from pushing the drum any farther. If it is none of the above, I would suspect a problem inside the differential causing the axle to protrude. Another possible cause, might be the axle key has moved too far back in the groove causing the hub to stop before it seats. To find out if this is the problem, try installing the hub with the key out. If it goes all the way on without the key, then the key is the cause of the problem.

Re: Rear wheel fit
Norman is offering good and valid advice. That said, what your picture shows, is exactly where a wheel/drum should sit relative to the backing plate when the hub and the axle are both in good shape. While it clears the backing plate, it is not supposed to go over it. If it is up against something solid and it still turns after the nut is run down, then it's seated correctly on the axle.

Re: Rear wheel fit
It shouldn't go on any further. The axle tapper is worn out if the other side went on further.

Re: Rear wheel fit
A common problem is the outer seal cup not being in all the way. It requires a lot of beat to get set down all the way.

Re: Rear wheel fit
For the side that goes on too far there are cone shaped axle shims available to space it out.
