Mounting EMPI 5s on a type2

I have a 63 bus with stock drums up front and a 67 beetle trans w/ stock drums (wide 5) out back. Is there anything I need to be prepared for before my wheels show up. Is there any machining to the drums? I already have 1" spacers for the rear.

Anything?

I have asked few guys about this (I wanted to make a custom tool to make caps for this combo...) and was told that you will need to machine a bunch of material off the inside of the wheels to get them on a T2. But this was a guy that did it 15+ years ago....

Please keep us inform of your progress.....
