14.220 is the maximum oversize for the drum.
I would not get oversize linings if you plan to drive regularly on the road.
The M37 drum is very thin by comparrison to a Land Rover drum.Overall
diamter is bigger but you need a lot of meat in the area the shoes grab.I
have had a drum explode on me because of such foolishness and I was real
lucky to be able to get out of it alive.The maximum diameter is there for a
very good reason and unless it is offroad or maybe parade use only then
replace the drums where needed.I would get 2 new ones for the front and use
the best you got for the rear if budget is tight until you can afford it.
I have lots of good backing plates and new NOS ones if you are in need.
