As Bob said I don't understand the rubbing inside the hub - drawings show the hub is quite a distance from the axle tube.
As noted the distance between the axle tube and the hub is governed by the wheel bearing location on the axle tube and has nothing to do with the drive axle.
Has the bearing seating on the axle tube has been machined back ? If so the bearing retaining nut thread could extend past the nut as suggested.
The axle nut could be fitted with a washer but I would check all details before proceeding further- the drive axles appear suspect as well as the bearing seating on the axle tube.
